Comfort Comes
Embracing Solace: Unveiling the Depths of Comfort in Manic Street Preachers' 'Comfort Comes'
Lyrics
Need someone to nurse me
Expressing a need for someone to take care of and nurture the speaker.
Reach out for the first person I see
Desire to connect with the first person encountered for support.
Comfort the helpless sole vanity
Seeking comfort for a vulnerable and self-centered state of mind.
Caressing the broken heart of me
Yearning for solace to heal emotional wounds.
The difference between love and comfort
Exploring the distinction between love and comfort.
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Stating that comfort is more reliable and true compared to love.
Brutal and mocking but always there
Describing comfort as brutal and mocking but consistently present.
A crutch for enmity's saddest glare
Portraying comfort as a support in the face of intense hostility.
I wish that someone would hold me
Expressing a desire for someone to provide physical and emotional support.
Wrap their arms around a shrinking somebody
Imagining the comforting embrace of someone caring for a vulnerable person.
Comfort comes and me till the mourning
Highlighting the arrival of comfort, potentially after a period of mourning or distress.
Whispered words of sanctuary
Describing comforting words that offer a sense of refuge.
The difference between love and comfort
Reiterating the difference between love and the reliability of comfort.
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Emphasizing the consistent and true nature of comfort.
Brutal and mocking but always there
Repeating the description of comfort as brutal, mocking, and always present.
A crutch for enmity's saddest glare
Portraying comfort as a crutch for the saddest expressions of enmity or hostility.
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Reiterating the reliability and truth of comfort in contrast to love.
Brutal and mocking but always there
Emphasizing the constant presence of comfort despite its challenging nature.
A crutch for enmity's saddest glare
Highlighting comfort as a support in the face of intense hostility once again.
Forgetting how I hate self pity blonde
Expressing a momentary forgetting of self-hatred or negative feelings towards oneself.
Comfort comes and smoothes her over
Describing how comfort arrives and soothes over the speaker's emotional wounds.
Calloused hands turn a beautiful dress
Depicting a symbolic act of transforming pain with comforting gestures.
Handcuffs now her pearl bracelets
Metaphorically referring to the transformation of difficulties into something precious and beautiful.
