Unlearn You
Unraveling Love's Lingering Shadow
Lyrics
Got a plate of pink cupcakes
Using sweet things like pink cupcakes to cover up or disguise a bitter experience.
To sugarcoat the aftertaste
Trying to make the bitter aftertaste of something better or more palatable.
But the blue, it floods my eyes
Feeling overwhelmed by sadness or emotions (symbolized by the color blue).
Your hands grip mine
Feeling connected physically to someone, holding hands.
My tongue still ties for you
Struggling to express feelings or communicate properly due to emotions or a connection to someone.
Oh, and I'm back in black again
Returning to a state of feeling emotionally low or depressed.
I know it's a touch I can't forget
Remembering a touch or experience that is hard to erase from memory.
Words that burn me like a cigarette
Words that hurt deeply, comparing the pain to being burned by a cigarette.
Can I cross you out
Wanting to eliminate someone or something from one's life completely.
And unlearn you from my body?
Desiring to remove all traces or influence of someone from oneself.
I didn't ever wear a dress
Not conforming to expectations, possibly in response to someone's judgment.
In case you thought I was asking for it
Being cautious in behavior to avoid blame or negative assumptions from others.
In my speech, my moves, my eyes
Being guarded or hiding true feelings to protect oneself from being recognized or hurt.
You stay disguised
Someone else concealing their true identity or intentions.
I'm back to a child
Feeling vulnerable or powerless, reverting to a more innocent state.
Can I cross you out
Wanting to erase or eliminate someone from one's life entirely.
And unlearn you?
Desiring to forget or undo the impact someone has had.
Oh, wash that memory down
Trying to cleanse or purge the memory associated with the person.
And unlearn you from my body
Wanting to remove all traces or influence of someone from oneself physically.
Ooh, and I'm back in black again
Returning to a state of feeling emotionally low or depressed (repeated line).
I know it's a touch I can't forget
Recalling a touch or experience that is hard to forget (repeated line).
Words that burn me like a cigarette
Words that deeply hurt, causing pain akin to being burned by a cigarette (repeated line).
Can I cross you out
Wanting to eliminate someone or something from one's life completely (repeated line).
And unlearn you from my body?
Desiring to remove all traces or influence of someone from oneself (repeated line).
