Locket
Lost Echoes: Unspoken Words and Locked Emotions in Magic Dirt's 'Locket'
Lyrics
I don't want to regret the stuff I never said
I want to avoid feeling remorse for things left unsaid.
Or the chance we never get
Expressing concern about missing opportunities.
Is it special or easy, am I free or am
Questioning the nature of the relationship – is it special or casual?
I anywhere near your neck
Uncertainty about proximity to the person, both physically and emotionally.
Fuck it I locked it I lost it again
Expressing frustration and a sense of losing something important.
Fuck it I locked it I lost it again
-Maybe you save it for your rainy day
Suggesting the possibility of saving emotions for difficult times.
Maybe you change it with nothing to say
Considering the option to change the course of the relationship despite having nothing specific to say.
Fuck it lock it I can't say, fuck it lock it lock it away
Expressing difficulty in expressing feelings and locking them away.
I think I'm going mad (from the) tiny writing on my hands
Indicating a sense of losing control, possibly due to overwhelming thoughts.
My test is subtle and yours is so mean
Comparing personal trials subtly, noting someone else's harshness.
She tells me to do it in room seventeen
Referring to a specific place (room seventeen) and an instruction given by someone.
It all comes together and it all falls apart
Reflecting on the contradictory nature of life – things coming together and falling apart.
There's room in your closet and stuff in your heart
Imagery of personal space and emotional baggage.
Anywhere near your neck
Reiteration of uncertainty about proximity to the person.
It arouses past to present
Stimulating memories from the past and connecting them to the present.
Like a happy little accident and I'm waiting like a thunderling
Describing a serendipitous moment with a waiting anticipation.
And I'm waiting wanna go over the edge
Expressing a desire to take risks and go beyond conventional boundaries.
Coffins are shining above your ceiling
Using metaphorical language about the impact of past experiences (coffins) on one's present.
Nicola Radcliffe is understanding
Acknowledging someone's understanding, possibly in relation to the mentioned experiences.
