Chewing Gum
Love's Bittersweet Symphony: Chewing Gum's Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
When you think it's your first
Reflecting on the belief that a certain experience is the first, only to be informed it's the last.
But told it's your last
Being deceived about the nature of an event, initially perceived as the first but revealed to be the last.
Leave me hanging dry
Feeling abandoned or betrayed, left without support or resolution.
Go smoke a fag
Suggesting engaging in a distracting activity like smoking a cigarette.
But the stories they change
Observing a change in narratives or accounts of events.
Feelings left estranged
Experiencing emotions that are now distant and unfamiliar.
Put me back on my feet
Seeking assistance to regain stability and composure.
Chewing gum on the streets
Metaphorically being back on one's feet, possibly with the support of a simple pleasure like chewing gum.
The taste is sweet enough
Finding solace and satisfaction in something simple, like the taste of chewing gum.
The time is over run
Feeling overwhelmed or crowded by the passing of time.
Your lies are cruel enough
Dealing with harsh and hurtful lies.
Pick me apart just for fun
Being criticized or scrutinized for someone else's amusement.
I'm left here despite of you
Remaining despite the negative impact of someone's actions.
And you let me know
Receiving acknowledgment of the impact caused by the person's actions.
How far you'd go
Understanding the extent to which someone would go without a specific person present.
Without him here
Contemplating leaving but finding it challenging due to emotional attachment.
I should really go
Expressing the desire to leave but feeling emotionally bound to someone.
But I'm glued to you
Being stuck or attached to someone, likened to the stickiness of nicotine and coffee.
Like nicotine and coffee
Comparing emotional attachment to substances like nicotine and coffee.
But I'm talking all the time
Acknowledging excessive talking and sentimental expression.
And getting fucking soppy
Expressing emotional vulnerability and sentimentality.
The taste is sweet enough
Reiteration of finding satisfaction in simple pleasures like chewing gum.
My time is over run
Feeling overwhelmed or crowded by the passage of time, echoing line 10.
Your lies are cruel enough
Dealing with the continuation of hurtful lies and scrutiny.
Pick me apart just for fun
Continuing to be dissected or criticized for someone else's amusement.
You know sometimes it feels like you got a demon on one shoulder
Describing the internal conflict between positive and negative influences.
And an angel on the other
Referencing the classic idea of having conflicting influences (angel and demon).
Well
A transition or acknowledgment in the narrative.
I've got two demons
Introducing a more challenging situation with two negative influences (demons).
Sticking to me like bubblegum pritt-stick
Metaphorically describing the persistence and stickiness of negative influences.
I cant believe how good it feels
Expressing surprise at the pleasure derived from negative influences.
Twisted
Describing a distorted or unconventional sense of pleasure.
Down on my knees
Being in a vulnerable position with no time to spare.
No time to waste it
Emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
But chewing gum please
Requesting the comforting and distracting act of chewing gum.
Come out and fix it
Asking for a solution or resolution.
Chewing gum
Repetition of the desire for the comforting act of chewing gum.

-The taste is sweet enough

My time is over run
Repetition of feeling overwhelmed by the passage of time.
Your lies are cruel enough
Reiteration of dealing with hurtful lies and criticism for amusement.
Pick me apart just for fun
Repetition of being dissected or criticized for someone else's amusement.
