It's Hard to Tell the Singer from the Song
Unveiling the Hidden Symphony of Pain: It's Hard to Tell the Singer from the Song
Lyrics
She's lost a lot of herself that time cannot replace
She has experienced significant losses in her life that time cannot restore.
Bits and pieces of herself gone without a trace
Various aspects of her identity have disappeared without leaving a trace.
She's been holding on to everything that happened to be there
She has clung onto every experience, regardless of its nature, that happened to come her way.
She's all used up and forgotten and scatterd eveerywhere
She is worn out, forgotten, and scattered, possibly emotionally or physically.
She's not an angel, so don't look for her wings
Contrary to expectations, she is not an angelic figure, and one should not expect perfection from her.
She's a hurtin woman who lives the song she sings
She is a woman in pain, embodying the emotions expressed in the songs she sings.
She learned them all the hard way on the streets all alone
She learned life lessons the hard way, facing challenges while navigating the streets alone.
That's why it's hard to tell the singer from the song
The difficulty arises in distinguishing between her as an individual and the songs she performs.
One by one her young years were gone before she knew
Her youthful years passed away gradually without her realizing, possibly due to unhealthy relationships.
Wasted on some loser who was only walking through
Her time was wasted on someone transient who did not stay for the long term.
Each time her bruised and lonely heart tried to break the fall
Her heart, bruised and lonely, attempted to cope with the pain each time, trying to avoid complete despair.
Rather put the pieces of the life on the wall
Instead of letting her life fall apart, she chose to display its fragments on the wall as a form of expression.
She's not an angel, so don't look for her wings
Similar to line 6, emphasizing that she is not a perfect, angelic figure.
She's a hurtin woman who lives the song she sings
Reiterating that she is a woman in pain, living the emotions conveyed in her songs.
She learned them all the hard way on the streets all alone
She acquired her life experiences through difficult situations faced while navigating the streets alone.
That's why it's hard to tell the singer from the song
Expressing the challenge of distinguishing the person from the art, as seen in the previous line.
