Bastards
Emotional Echoes: Bastards by Mermaidens Unveiled
Lyrics
A bastard indeed
Feeling like an outsider or misfit
You're just like me
Pointing out similarities and shared experiences
You know about girls
Awareness of relationships and intimacy
And undressing
Reference to vulnerability and exposure
Lie still
Encouraging stillness or passivity
Empty of me
Feeling emotionally detached or emptied
Full of you
Being consumed or overwhelmed by another person
I got bruises
Physical or emotional marks from close interaction
From being too close
Negative consequences of proximity
You feel used when
Feeling used after giving oneself
You give yourself
Exploring the emotional impact of self-sacrifice
Don't make light of history
Advising against trivializing historical events
It's a sore spot
Emphasizing sensitivity towards painful memories
I have to forget somethings
The need to forget certain things for mental well-being
Or else it's hard
Highlighting the difficulty of coping without forgetting
To breathe
The emotional weight hindering one's ability to breathe
Lie still
Reiteration of the call for stillness
Empty of me
Continued emotional emptiness
Full of you
The other person occupying emotional space
I got bruises
Reiteration of physical or emotional wounds
From being too close
Highlighting the negative consequences of closeness
You feel used when
Reiterating the feeling of being used after giving
You give yourself
Reflecting on the impact of self-sacrifice
I'll go blue under my man
Describing a state of emotional distress
With two hands
A vivid image of vulnerability or danger
Around my neck
Symbolic reference to control or restriction
Feel the fruit
Sensory experience of indulging in pleasure
Fill your head
Encouraging immersive thoughts
Take away my breath
A metaphor for overwhelming emotions
Break and mend
Acknowledging the process of breaking and healing
