Lyrics
So long, I lie here entwined like a helix
Feeling emotionally intertwined like a helix, unsure of personal boundaries between oneself and the other.
Don't know where I begin, where you end
Uncertainty about individual identities within the relationship, where one person starts and the other ends.
How long do we go on trying to feed it
Questioning the duration of efforts to sustain the relationship.
I just know, I just know, that this can't grow
A sense of certainty that the relationship cannot progress or develop further.
I wrote this song to tell you I'm leaving
Expressing departure through a song, unable to convey the decision in person due to fear.
Afraid to say these words to your face
Reluctance or fear of directly communicating the decision to end the relationship face-to-face.
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
Considering ways of communication (letter, text, email) that might be less emotional or easier than face-to-face interaction.
My right stops here at the end of the line.
Asserting the decision to end the relationship and indicating that there will be no going back.
We stopped time, when we signed in the year, of our Lord, 1999
Referencing a specific moment in the past (1999) when the relationship began, possibly with significance.
With a kiss spitting out, spitting out, time lines
Reflecting on a kiss that may have altered the course of events or relationship dynamics.
From the moment we locked eyes at the station of our [?]
Recalling the moment when they first met at a certain location, possibly hinting at its importance.
Two reduced to one life, forever proposed, wicked like a land mine?
Describing a commitment to a shared life that turned out to be destructive or perilous.
I wrote this song to tell you I'm leaving
Reiterating the intention to leave through a song due to fear of direct confrontation.
Afraid to say these words to your face
Continued reluctance to express the decision face-to-face, preferring indirect communication.
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
Considering alternative modes of communication that feel less emotionally challenging than direct interaction.
My right stops here at the end of the line.
Emphasizing the finality of the decision to end the relationship.
Every kiss has lost its flavor
Noticing a lack of excitement or passion in romantic gestures or moments.
I'm not proud of my behavior
Regret or shame regarding one's behavior within the relationship.
Beached on rock, thought that it was land
Feeling stranded or deceived, mistaking something for what it isn't.
Lost respect, love imparted
Loss of admiration or regard for the love once shared.
what was fresh, we took for granted
Realization of taking the relationship's freshness or novelty for granted.
need to rely on more than just a friend
Recognition of the need for deeper reliance and support beyond just friendship.
I wrote this song to say that I'm leaving
Reiterating the intent to depart, expressed through a song due to apprehension about direct communication.
Afraid to say these words to your face
Continued reluctance or fear of expressing the decision directly.
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
Considering alternative, less confronting methods of communication.
My right stops here at the end of this line.
Asserting the finality of the decision to end things.
