Brushed Heartbreak: Mike Aragón's Emotional Canvas
Lyrics
Should've known this could never work
Expresses regret and realization that the relationship was doomed from the start.
But I still tried to ignore the hurt
Despite recognizing the potential for pain, the person attempted to ignore the impending hurt.
Yeah I tried, to make the best out of this
Effort to make the best of the situation.
But I died, everyday just a bit
Acknowledgment of personal deterioration and suffering every day.
And now
Transition in the narrative or emotional state.
Seems like I've gone down now
Expresses a downward spiral or negative progression.
It was so hard not to drown
Struggle to avoid drowning metaphorically.
Couldn't save what we had found
Unable to preserve or salvage what was found in the relationship.
But it wasn't worth it
Reflection on the relationship's value and whether it was worth the pain.
Tried to keep this alive and you killed it
Effort to sustain the relationship, but the partner's actions caused its demise.
Hurt the wound every time that I healed it
Repeatedly reopening emotional wounds when attempting to heal.
Every crack, every stain, I just painted over
Metaphor of covering up emotional damage with metaphorical paint.
Now it's starting to fade and I've run out of paint
The temporary fix is fading, indicating the inability to sustain the emotional cover-up.
I know I'm not that innocent
Acknowledgment of personal faults and imperfections.
But all my mistakes you made me pay for them
Punishment for mistakes in the relationship.
Yeah I tried to pretend and hide every bruise
Attempts to hide emotional and physical scars from the partner.
And realized I got nothing else left to lose
Realization of having nothing more to lose in the relationship.
And now
Reiteration of negative emotions or state.
Seems like I've gone down now
Continued descent or decline in emotional well-being.
It was so hard not to drown
The struggle to avoid succumbing to emotional turmoil.
Couldn't save what we had found
Inability to preserve the positive aspects of the relationship.
But it wasn't worth it
Reflection on the relationship's worth and its ultimate cost.
Tried to keep this alive and you killed it
Effort to maintain the relationship, unsuccessful due to external factors.
Hurt the wound every time that I healed it
Repeatedly reopening emotional wounds during attempts at healing.
Every crack, every stain, I just painted over
Metaphor of covering up emotional damage with temporary fixes.
Now it's faded away and I've run out of paint
The temporary cover-up has faded away, signifying the end of the emotional concealment.
Scrape the sorrow that we traced in these walls
Removing or confronting the emotional pain symbolized by traces on the walls.
Bleeding colors trying to cover these scars
Attempt to conceal emotional scars through various means.
This ain't where I belong
Feeling of displacement or not fitting into the current situation.
This ain't what I deserve
Reflection on personal worth and deservingness in the context of the relationship.
Though I tried to convince
Efforts to self-convince about forgiveness, possibly towards the partner.
Myself to forgive
Recognition of an inability to forgive or move past the pain.
I can see now that I've
Realization of having nothing more to give emotionally.
Got nothing else left to give
Acknowledgment of emotional exhaustion or depletion.
Oh
An expression of pain or realization.
And now
Reiteration of negative emotional state or descent.
Seems like I've gone down now
Continued decline in emotional well-being.
It was so hard not to drown
Struggle to avoid succumbing to emotional turmoil.
Couldn't save what we had found
Inability to preserve the positive aspects of the relationship.
Tried to keep this alive and you killed it
Effort to maintain the relationship, unsuccessful due to external factors.
Hurt the wound every time that I healed it
Repeatedly reopening emotional wounds during attempts at healing.
Every crack, every stain, I just painted over
Metaphor of covering up emotional damage with temporary fixes.
Now it's faded away and I've run out of paint
The temporary cover-up has faded away, signifying the end of the emotional concealment.
