Courts
Embracing Nostalgia: Love's Complicated Dance in 'Courts' by Lewis Coleman
Lyrics
woke up to a jolt of love
Woke up to a sudden surge of love.
realised I didn’t want to be parted
Realized I didn't want to be separated.
I couldn’t wait to head around for dinner, and say
Anticipation for dinner, eager to express that my desire was to be embraced again.
that all I wanted was to be in their arms again
Expressing a longing to be held in someone's arms.
It didn’t roll out like my simulation
Reality did not unfold as expected, diverging from my mental simulation.
I could feel my body fill with a sadness
Sensed a profound sadness filling my body.
It boiled up and made me spew out questions
Emotional turmoil surfaced, leading to the expression of unresolved questions.
failing to stick to one that I really meant, like
Struggling to adhere to a sincere question, possibly due to emotional overwhelm.
wait a minute, don’t you love, me as much?
Questioning the level of love received, seeking reassurance.
what if I just changed it up, made it work?
Contemplating the possibility of changing the situation to make the relationship functional.
I think that I’m in love with nostalgia
Expressing an affinity for nostalgia, a sentiment of being in love with the past.
I want everything to be open ended
Desire for situations to remain unresolved, embracing the openness of experiences.
I want to pull the past from out of nowhere
Expressing a wish to retrieve the past and live in it as if still residing there.
and walk around in it like I still live there
In that moment, things are all in the sweetest glow
Describing a moment where everything is in a blissful glow.
quickly forgetting things you know that were bleeding slow
Quickly forgetting painful memories and experiences.
wait a minute, don’t you love, me as much?
Repeating the earlier question about the depth of love.
what if I just changed it up, made it work?
Reconsidering the possibility of making the relationship function.
love’s not that clear
Love is portrayed as not being clear or easily understood.
love’s not that fair
Love is depicted as not being fair or just.
love’s not
love’s not
-that clear
Reiteration that love is not clear, emphasizing its ambiguity.
