August Sun
Confessions Under August Sun
Lyrics
I'm gonna treat this dark room
I intend to approach this dark room
Like a confessional
As a place for confessing my thoughts and feelings
I hope that's alright
Expressing a hope for acceptance of this approach
Cuz I've gone too long
Because I've refrained for too long
Keeping the bottle corked on
Keeping my emotions suppressed like a sealed bottle
The storm in my mind
Referring to the internal turmoil
I know I said many times that I'd be fine
Acknowledging past assurances of being fine
But I'll set the record right, that was a lie
Admitting the previous statement was false
At least I think it was
Expressing uncertainty about the truth of past statements
But god, I can't tell
Feeling unable to discern the reality of the situation
It was easy for the first five months
Reflecting on an initial period of ease
And now it's hell
Describing the current situation as difficult
I didn't feel a thing
Claiming emotional numbness during a separation
When I cut the ties
Indicating detachment when ending a relationship
Now you're seeping right back on into my mind
Expressing the return of thoughts about the past lover
If I could've seen the end
Wishing to have foreseen the consequences
Of the tunnel
Metaphorically referencing a tunnel as a relationship journey
I'd still be holding your hand
Expressing a desire to still be with the past lover
I admit it's my fault
Admitting personal responsibility for the situation
But there's a lot to say
Highlighting the influence of external factors
For circumstance
Recognizing lack of awareness during past actions
I didn't know what I was doing while I was doing it
Comparing past actions to a destructive force
Like a tornado tearing through it, I ruined it
Expressing uncertainty about the extent of damage caused
At least I think I did
Uncertain about the impact of personal actions
But god, I don't know
Feeling uncertain and lost
August sun to January snow
Describing a transition from a warm to cold emotional state
And it's the little things
Noticing the impact of small, significant details
That sink into me
Reflecting on the depth of emotional absorption
I just walked by and you forgot to breathe
Observing the effect of one's presence on someone else
I just wanna make sure that you know
Expressing a desire to convey appreciation and admiration
You're beyond beautiful
Acknowledging the beauty of the other person
And you're the only one I've ever loved like that
Affirming a unique and significant romantic connection
If I could find one of the edges of this page
Expressing a desire to revisit a particular moment in the past
I would flip to that day
Wishing to undo a specific event
And I'd take it back
Uncertain about the effectiveness of reversing past actions
At least I think I would
Expressing doubt about the possibility of changing the past
But god, by now
Feeling helpless and resigned
I wouldn't have a prayer so I might as well stay out
Accepting the futility of prayer or intervention
I know she makes your smile
Acknowledging the positive influence of someone else
Shine like the sun
Recognizing the brightness brought by another person
And I'm still alive so that'll have to be enough
Accepting survival as the only achievable outcome
And I'm still alive so that'll have to be enough
Acknowledging resilience and survival as sufficient
