Portrait in Black and Blue
Portrait in Black and Blue: A Melancholic Canvas of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Spastic gyrations and abbreviated
Expressing erratic movements and shortened actions
Bathing suits see I suit you
Observing that certain swimwear complements the person addressed
Cause I cold be you and I could show you true
Claiming the ability to embody the other person and reveal genuine aspects
Till the cold runs through and through
Describing the experience until the cold feeling permeates deeply
A portrait you in black and blue
Depicting an image of the person in a state of suffering and melancholy
I ain't painting this lie any more since it was all I had to adore of you
Rejecting the act of deceiving, as it was the only thing worth cherishing about the person
And all I have to say is girl you keep??? running away.
Expressing frustration that the person constantly escapes or avoids commitment
Well time never gave me a chance
Reflecting on missed opportunities due to time not favoring the speaker
I shoulda been there oh you ladybird to my soul
Regretting not being present for the significant other, referred to as "ladybird"
To my world left a hole to despair See what I'm going
Describing the impact of the person's departure, creating a sense of emptiness and hopelessness
Through you never even knew
Highlighting the lack of awareness about the speaker's struggles
That's nothing on my plate, trapped in a lizard state,
Emphasizing an absence of problems but feeling confined in a stagnant or unchanging state
Minds at the gate, looking for an escape
Conveying a sense of mental entrapment, searching for a way out
I ain't painting this lie any more since it was all I had to adore of you
Reiterating the refusal to continue portraying a false reality, acknowledging its significance
And all I have to say is Giiirl I'm not painting this lie any more
Affirming the decision to stop perpetuating a deceptive narrative
And I'm dark and I'm in awe of you and all you had to say is,
Expressing admiration for the person despite their dark and awe-inspiring qualities
It never hit me the same boy...
Recalling that the impact of certain words or actions is not as profound as before
