Forty Directions
Navigating Love's Labyrinth: Lupus Aura's Forty Directions Revealed
Lyrics
Heart tugged in forty directions
Feeling emotionally pulled in many different directions.
I drag this sack away from the fact
Attempting to distance oneself from a certain truth or reality.
I want you
Expressing a desire for someone.
(I want you, I want you
Repetition emphasizes a strong longing or yearning for the mentioned person.
I want you, I want you)
-Well, magnetism's surely uplifting
Recognizing the positive force of attraction but acknowledging potential drawbacks.
But it opens a rift in empty spaces
Magnetism creates a division in empty spaces, suggesting both connection and separation.
(Withdraw, withdraw
Calling for withdrawal, possibly indicating a need for personal space or reflection.
Withdraw, withdraw)
-Back up quick to avoid this drama
Swiftly moving away to avoid unnecessary conflict or complications.
Stood on the sides like the floor is lava
Metaphorically standing on the sidelines, avoiding difficulties like a child avoiding a game of "floor is lava."
I'm a child again
Returning to a childlike state, possibly feeling vulnerable or insecure.
(I'm a child)
-Well, if you really care for me
Expressing a need for understanding and comfort when facing fear of being alone.
You'd see that I'm just scared to be
-Alone
-(Alone, alone
-Alone, alone)
-Searching for peace on stone beaches
Seeking tranquility on stony beaches, metaphorically searching for peace.
Cause, in these rocks, I have found my pieces
Finding personal completeness or healing among the challenges.
(I found my pieces
-I found my pieces)
-Puzzled by the chance
Feeling confused or uncertain about the circumstances.
That I've become a passing glance
Becoming a fleeting or unnoticed presence in the eyes of others.
From passers by
Being overlooked or ignored by passersby.
(From passers by)
-Heart tugged again but, this time
Experiencing a renewed emotional pull in an unfamiliar direction after a long time.
It's in a direction I haven't walked in years
-In years
-Mind tugs to stop the waterworks
Trying to control or prevent the flow of tears.
But, still, I'll have to face the rolling tears
Despite efforts, acknowledging the inevitability of facing and dealing with emotional pain.
The tears, the tears, the tears
Repetition emphasizes the intensity of the tears and emotional distress.
Oh woah
An exclamation expressing emotional distress and the presence of tears.
The tears, oh woah
