Codeine
Codeine's Melancholy Embrace: A Poetic Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Kept on this bed of restlessness
Feeling trapped in a state of unease or dissatisfaction
Cannot move I cannot request
Unable to take action or make requests
All of the dreams you left for me
References the dreams or aspirations left behind by someone else
All of the places we long to see
Places or experiences desired but not yet attained
Pain is the river that runs through me
Pain is a prevalent feeling or experience
Ebbs and it flows constantly
The pain fluctuates, coming and going continuously
Thought that I’d paid my dues then
Believed that past hardships were already overcome
That’s not how it works let’s not pretend
Realization that overcoming difficulties isn't as simple as assumed
Codeine always at the scene
Codeine, a pain-relieving drug, is consistently present or used
Maybe it’s just a part of me
Suggests the possibility of dependency on Codeine
Now beneath the wandering moon
Under the influence of a wandering, possibly uncertain, environment
Bed like an island feeling marooned
Feeling isolated or stranded like being stuck on an island
Cradle the thought of you near
Longing for the presence or closeness of someone
Holding you close to keep out the fear
Seeking comfort and security by staying close to someone
Needles and veins and memory lanes
Mentions drug use (needles) and revisiting memories
Scars of mind and skin remains
Physical and mental scars persist as reminders
Thankful for the beauty of love
Grateful for the positive aspects of love
Thankful for the stars above
Expresses gratitude for something beyond personal control (the universe)
Codeine always at the scene
Reiteration of Codeine's consistent presence or influence
Maybe it’s just a part of me
Reiteration of the potential dependency or ingrained nature of Codeine in the persona
