Trophy
Love's Trophy: Unveiling the Depths of Desire in Kate Davis' Lyrics
Lyrics
I love you
I express love for you
Like man loves
Comparing the intensity of love to how a man values a trophy
A trophy
Describing the loved one as a prized possession
Desire
Expressing strong passion or longing
While I’m cleaning out
During the process of cleaning or resolving issues
The cup you’re bleeding away
Metaphorically cleaning a cup filled with the loved one's struggles or pain
Its all carry out
Everything is disposable or takeaway in this situation
My love we’re hand in glove
Highlighting a close and complementary relationship
And I’m toothy
Using "toothy" metaphorically, possibly implying a smile or a fierce aspect
Mmm and you’re quiet
Describing the loved one as quiet or reserved
They’re spying
Suggesting an element of surveillance or scrutiny
And you’re dying
The loved one is facing difficulties or challenges
While I’m cleaning out
Repeating the cleaning process, emphasizing the continuous effort
The cup you’re bleeding away
Reiteration of the cup symbolizing the loved one's pain
Its all carry out
Emphasizing the disposability of the situation
My love we’re hand in glove now
Underlining the closeness of the relationship
I can’t hear you
Inability to hear the loved one
Here you are but
Despite being present, the loved one's voice is not audible
I can’t hear you
Repetition of the difficulty in hearing the loved one
Here you are but
Continuation of the theme of communication breakdown
I can’t hear you
Persisting challenge in understanding the loved one
Here you are
Emphasizing the loved one's presence despite the communication barrier
I can’t hear you
Reiteration of the inability to hear the loved one
While I’m cleaning out
Repeating the process of dealing with the loved one's pain
The cup you’re bleeding away
Highlighting the ongoing effort to address the loved one's struggles
Its all carry out
Reiterating the disposable nature of the situation
My love we’re hand in glove now
Stressing the enduring closeness of the relationship
And I miss you
Expressing a feeling of longing or absence
Just wanted
Desiring the presence of the loved one
To have you
Expressing a wish to possess or have the loved one exclusively
For myself
Affirming the desire for exclusive possession of the loved one
