SUGAR AND ANXIETY
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Morning Regrets and Silent Confessions
Lyrics
He woke up this morning,
Reflection on the start of the day
his hungover head pressing down on the warm red pillows
Describing a hangover and the warmth of the pillows
Whilst she was sat on the edge, of the white sheeted bed,
Depiction of her presence on the bed's edge
with her two bare feet on the cold tiled floor
Her bare feet on the cold floor
She was facing the wall, with her back to his face
She turns away, facing the wall
And she heard his heavy breathing,
Awareness of his heavy breathing
and they felt this awkward feeling that was settling in the room
Awkward tension settling in the room
So in the deepest silence, he walked out.
He exits silently in the midst of the silence
She heard him in the shower,
She hears him in the shower
peeling off the skin, of whoever he was yesterday evening
Metaphorically shedding the past
He knows he wasn’t right, he didn’t keep his cool,
Acknowledgment of his wrongdoing
but there’s something dark inside him
Hinting at a dark aspect within him
that keep’s chewing on his flesh
An internal struggle haunting him
Let it out
Suggesting the need to express emotions
Leave him be
Advising to leave him alone
Tell her ‘bout it
Encouraging communication about the issue
No, he can’t.
He can't open up or share
it’s nothing real, it’s nothing right, it’s everything, it is nothing,
Describing a complex and contradictory situation
it’s all so vague, it’s all so hard, it’s all so black, it’s all so bright,
Portraying the ambiguity and intensity of life
a perfect day in the sun light, a rainy cloud above his head,
Contrast between a perfect day and inner turmoil
his tangled hair, the drugs he takes, his heart so full of the frustration
Listing external factors affecting him
of spending his whole entire life being the complete opposite
Expressing frustration with his life choices
of who he always wanted to be.
Discrepancy between his aspirations and reality
Sweaty hands on the steering wheel. Drive.
End of the narrative with a reference to driving
