Violet
Time's Bitter Veil: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Jak Woodlawn's 'Violet'
Lyrics
Will you not come here again
Expressing a desire for someone to return.
Among withered violet
Among the dried and lifeless violet flowers, symbolizing loss or neglect.
This I left for dead
Referring to something left forgotten or abandoned.
Pictures I never saw
Refers to unseen images or memories.
Books I never read
Mentioning unread books, suggesting missed opportunities or experiences.
Hide myself away
Choosing to isolate oneself.
All the bitter while
Enduring a difficult time with bitterness.
I can't stand the passing of time
Expressing discomfort with the passage of time.
Ill fortune growing dim
Describing a negative turn of events becoming less prominent.
Like a rogue at the door
Comparing a negative influence to a rogue at the door.
Cut the binds he tied
Breaking free from restrictive ties.
An unfamiliar smile
Noticing an unfamiliar but perhaps positive emotion or expression.
Kept the monolith outside
Keeping a significant monument or burden outside, possibly managing challenges.
Hide myself away
Choosing to hide away again, possibly due to continued bitterness.
All the bitter while
Continuing to endure a challenging time with bitterness.
I can't stand the passing of time
Reiterating discomfort with the passage of time.
Hide myself away
Choosing to hide away once more, possibly indicating a recurring pattern.
All the bitter while
Continuing to endure difficulties with bitterness.
I can't stand the passing of time
Repeating discomfort with the passage of time, emphasizing a persistent struggle.
