Thorns
Love's Thorny Grip: A Heart's Journey Through Pain
Lyrics
I fell in love with the ground that you walked upon
I developed strong feelings for the very ground you tread upon.
But now that it's me
However, now that the situation involves me directly.
I'm feeling everything far more painful
I am experiencing heightened emotions, particularly more pain.
Painfully
This pain is intense and agonizing.
Used to be missing that red light romance
Previously, there was a sense of passionate romance represented by a red light.
Rolling past the stop signs
We used to ignore stop signs, but now we find ourselves stuck in an undesirable situation.
Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
Currently, we are stranded with no fuel left in the tank.
Nothing left in the fuel tank
There's a sense of understanding or familiarity with this predicament.
Bet you know what that's all about
Now, I feel pain constantly when I'm awake.
Now I ache when I'm awake
I no longer experience restful sleep; instead, I undergo a process of deterioration.
I don't sleep, only decay
All of this suffering is attributed to you.
And that's all down to you
My bed is adorned with thorns, causing discomfort.
With thorns stuck to my bed
These thorns leave metaphorical holes in my solid and unyielding mind.
Leaving holes inside my concrete head
Currently, I am too emotionally wounded to handle interactions with you.
I, I am too sore to deal with you
I initially fell in love with the life-sustaining air in your lungs.
I fell in love with the oxygen in your lungs
Each small part of it was cherished by me.
Every little bit
However, over time, you started taking away my breath until it became suffocating.
But soon enough you were taking it out of mine
Again, there's a suggestion that you understand this experience intimately.
Till I'd suffocate
Similar to the previous verse, constant pain and decay are attributed to the person.
Bet you know what that's all about
Thorns persist in my bed, causing ongoing discomfort.
Now I ache when I'm awake
These thorns metaphorically create gaps or vulnerabilities in my solid mind.
I don't sleep, only decay
Expressing the emotional pain and difficulty in dealing with the person.
And that's all down to you
Seeking reassurance that the love was mutual and not one-sided.
With thorns stuck to my bed
Calling for an end to pretenses and a genuine expression of commitment.
Leaving holes inside my concrete head
Expressing a threat or ultimatum in response to potential deceit.
I, I
Reiterating the ongoing pain, decay, and its connection to the person.
And I know I'm not asking for too much
Continued expression of emotional distress and difficulty in handling the situation.
To be reassured I wasn't the only one in love
Desire for reassurance and confirmation of mutual love.
So take away your masquerade, and say you'd die for me
An ultimatum is presented: be genuine about love or face severe consequences.
Or else I'll be the one shoving a bullet through your teeth
A threat of violence if sincerity is not demonstrated.
Now I ache when I'm awake
Repetition of the ongoing emotional pain and decay.
I don't sleep, only decay
The thorns on the bed persist, causing continuous discomfort.
And that's all down to you
Metaphorical holes remain in the mind, emphasizing emotional vulnerability.
With thorns stuck to my bed
Reiterating the emotional pain and difficulty in dealing with the person.
Leaving holes inside my concrete head
Continued reference to thorns on the bed and the resulting discomfort.
I, I
Expressing the ongoing emotional distress and difficulty in coping with the situation.
Now I ache when I'm awake
Repetition of the theme of emotional pain and decay.
I don't sleep, only decay
Highlighting the persistent discomfort caused by the thorns on the bed.
And that's all down to you
Reiterating the connection between emotional pain and the person.
With thorns stuck to my bed
The presence of thorns on the bed continues to symbolize ongoing emotional discomfort.
Leaving holes inside my concrete head
Metaphorical holes persist in the mind, indicating enduring emotional vulnerability.
I, I am too sore to deal with you
Expressing that the emotional pain is too overwhelming to engage with the person.
