Guest House
Guest House Echoes: Unveiling Love's Charade
Lyrics
I have traced, the figure of your warm embrace
I have analyzed the shape of your comforting hug.
Thought it was a heart, but it was an arrowhead
Initially thought it was a symbol of love (heart), but it turned out to be a pointed and potentially harmful thing (arrowhead).
A second chance, naive and in a hopeful trance
A second opportunity, characterized by innocence and optimism.
The curtain shades and duvet grey became the battlefield
The surroundings, represented by curtain shades and a gray duvet, have become the setting for a conflict or struggle.
I'm in a Guest House screaming out
Expressing distress in a guest house.
But the bellows borrow silence now
However, the cries are met with silence.
What an intimate disaster
Describing a personal and intense failure in a relationship.
Sorrows change to daunting laughter
Pain transforms into overwhelming laughter.
Carrying the fault line breaks
The relationship undergoes a seismic shift, symbolized by a fault line breaking.
You still disguise as loyal saints
Despite the betrayal, the person continues to pretend to be faithful.
I'm holding my tongue, but this is done
The speaker is choosing not to speak but acknowledges that the situation is over.
You tell me
Asking for an explanation.
Is this how it's supposed to be
Questioning if the current state of the relationship is normal.
Your love I found was charity
Realizing that the love received was more of a charitable act than genuine affection.
I got but didn't need
Received more than needed, leading to self-realization.
A wake up call
Being abruptly awakened to a harsh reality.
I admit I'm still not sure about it all
Expressing uncertainty about the entire situation.
Starving in a multitude, to balance the story
Experiencing hardship within a group to create a balanced narrative.
I'm in a Guest House screaming out
Repeating distress in a guest house.
But the bellows borrow silence now
Reiterating that the distress is met with silence.
What an intimate disaster
Re-emphasizing the personal failure and intensity of the relationship.
Sorrows change to daunting laughter
Reiteration of pain transforming into overwhelming laughter.
Carrying the fault line breaks
Repeating the symbolic break in the relationship.
You still disguise as loyal saints
Continued pretense of faithfulness despite betrayal.
I'm holding my tongue, but I need this to be done
Repeating the decision not to speak, emphasizing the finality of the situation.
And when you pass me by
Reflecting on a moment when gravity, representing seriousness, was evident during a passing encounter.
Gravity was never shy
Acknowledging that love was given without reservation.
That just wasted love on a bad dream
Realizing that love was wasted on an illusion or false hope.
Taunted by the words you said
Tormented by hurtful words spoken in the past.
I couldn't shake until I fled
Unable to shake off the impact until choosing to leave.
And now I am
Emphasizing the current state of being free from the past torment.
Now I am
Repeating the sense of liberation.
In a Guest House, a tired cliche
Expressing weariness in a clichéd situation.
Waiting on time to take me away
Waiting for time to heal and provide a resolution.
What an intimate disaster
Reiterating the personal failure and intensity of the relationship, now viewed as an intimate disaster.
Now I have my mind, to look after
Concluding with a sense of self-awareness and the ability to take care of one's own mind.
