Matter
Echoes of Heartbreak: Maple Ave.'s Emotional Journey in 'Matter'
Lyrics
It's nights
Expressing a specific time or situation
Like these
Highlighting the current emotional state or circumstance
While lying here
Describing a moment of contemplation or reflection
I'm dressed in your hair
Suggesting intimacy or a close connection with someone
I can feel your heart as It's beating
Feeling the physical sensation of someone else's heartbeat
Against my hollow chest
Conveying a sense of emptiness or emotional void
I'm sinking, she's falling, my hair stands up
Describing emotional turmoil, possibly a relationship in distress
Moving your head now that you've gone to sleep
Observing the partner's state while they are asleep
So I can finally take in some air and fucking breathe
Expressing a need for personal space and relief
And now I'm seeing things clearly
Claiming a newfound clarity or understanding
You shouldn't be near me
Expressing a belief that the speaker may be harmful or undeserving
Wake up and hear me
Calling for attention and acknowledgment
I'll jump off of this porch to change your mind
Expressing a willingness to take drastic actions for change
And I'm holding on to something that shouldn't held
Acknowledging the unhealthy nature of holding onto something
And I'm holding on to something that shouldn't held at all
Repeating the acknowledgment of holding onto something negative
Now wake up and hear me
Reiterating the call for attention and understanding
Cause I'm
Indicating a shift in focus or perspective
I'm just so fucking sick and tired of being ignored
Expressing frustration and exhaustion from being ignored
And now I don't even want to stay here
Declaring a desire to leave the current situation
So take me home
Requesting to be taken back to a familiar place
And I guess were better off after all
Suggesting that separation might be beneficial
So please forgive me
Seeking forgiveness for the speaker's actions or decisions
