Sand and Shells
Tides of Love and Loss: Ignis Brothers' Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Air crushes my lungs
A feeling of suffocation or pressure, possibly from emotional distress.
My insides turn to dust
An internal sense of disintegration or emotional breakdown.
Pain, I've felt that before
Acknowledging past emotional pain.
But this can't go on
Expressing a desire for a change or resolution from the current situation.
You say I'm all you need
Receiving assurance from someone that they are essential.
All my heart does is bleed
Feeling emotionally wounded despite the reassurance.
Cos one second you're here
Experiencing the sudden presence of someone, followed by their disappearance.
Then you disappear
Highlighting the transient nature of the relationship.
I lived your lie
Reflecting on living a falsehood, not questioning it, and the impact on the person.
I thought I'd die
-Never asked you why
-Oh my
An exclamation expressing strong emotion, possibly regret or realization.
I lived your lie
Repetition emphasizing the emotional toll of living a lie.
I thought I'd die
-Never asked you why
-Oh my my
An intensified expression of surprise or realization.
Loving you is like
Using a metaphor comparing love to the ebb and flow of the ocean, implying unpredictability.
I'm at the beach
-The water comes
-And then it leaves
-And now you're gone
-But you'll return
-And all you'll find
-Are sand and shells
Describing the remnants of the relationship as only sand and shells, suggesting emptiness.
I'm alone at a bar
Being physically present but emotionally distant, resorting to alcohol to cope.
I see you but you're far
-I've been drinking since noon
-My head's on the moon
A metaphorical description of a detached state of mind.
Told you once
Expressing frustration and a decision to stop being accommodating or understanding.
Told you twice
-That I'm done being nice
-Found someone I can love
Finding self-love as an alternative to the failed relationship.
That person is me
-I lived your lie
Reiterating the emotional toll of living a lie and the lack of questioning.
I thought I'd die
-Never asked you why
-Oh my
-I lived your lie
-I thought I'd die
-Never asked you why
-Oh my my
-Loving you is like
Continuing the metaphor of love as the beach, reinforcing the cyclical and transient nature.
I'm at the beach
-The water comes
-And then it leaves
-And now you're gone
-But you'll return
-And all you'll find
-Are sand and shells
Reiterating the emptiness and lack of substance left after the person's departure.
I lived your lie
Final repetition of the emotional toll and absence of questioning in the failed relationship.
I thought I'd die
-Never asked you why
-Oh my my
