Eternal Yearning: Unveiling Passion and Regret in Mistel Marie's 'Direct Messages'
Lyrics
I send you letters but you never seem to write me back
I've reached out to you through letters, but you haven't responded.
I built a house for you and all our futuristic plans
I've created a future for us, symbolized by a house and plans.
Do not get confused but girl you got me in a trance
I'm captivated by you, although it might be perplexing.
Tell me what to do what it will take to be your man
Tell me what I need to do to be your man.
I'm feeling like you haven't been out for a little bit
You seem distant or not treated as you deserve.
Or at least not in the way how you should be treated with
Expressing concern about how you're being treated.
Laguna Beach romantic fantasy experience
Desire for a romantic and idealized experience like Laguna Beach.
I'm puffing tree the dopest dreams are delirious
Using substances to enhance dreams and emotions.
I'm obsessed as I contemplate bad decisions
I'm preoccupied, thinking about questionable choices.
I wanna put my face where God made your incision
Expressing intimate desires.
Finally start the race put the key in your ignition
Initiating a relationship metaphorically with starting a race and igniting passion.
They can't imitate the way I always start your engine
Highlighting uniqueness in starting your "engine."
I'm a man now but I got that boyish charm
Despite being a man, retaining a youthful charm.
Understand now how I need you on my arm
Stating the importance of having you by my side.
I command thou to myself and every scar
Claiming ownership of you and acknowledging past struggles.
I forgot how beautiful you really are
Forgetting momentarily how beautiful you are.
I just wanna hold you one more time before you go
Expressing a desire to hold you one last time before parting.
Look into your eyes and slowly tear apart my soul
Willing to face emotional pain by looking into your eyes.
Poetry is better when you read between the lines
Believing that poetry is enriched when reading between the lines.
Music to my ears the day we runaway or die
Anticipating a significant moment when we either run away or face adversity together.
I can bring you back raise you up from the dead
Expressing the ability to revive and support you.
Remember how to fight before you begin to beg
Remembering the importance of resilience before begging.
Every single night I go to sleep in my bed
Nightly reflections on regret and realization of your correctness.
Knowing you were right and I'm filled with regret
Acknowledging regret and guilt for not heeding your wisdom.
But I put it in my sight and I took aim
Focusing on a target (the past) and taking decisive action.
Shot that fuck boy right inside his stupid brain
Making a metaphorical statement about overcoming past challenges.
You don't know me now but you know I'm in the game
Asserting presence and influence in the "game" of life.
You didn't want Adam so I went and changed my name
Changing for you after recognizing the rejection from someone else.
Vampires don't fathom when they're in the sun
Highlighting the discomfort of being out of one's element.
Pirates in a boat stranded on the ocean
Using a nautical metaphor to convey feeling lost.
A valid vote that wasn't put in motion
Reflecting on missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.
But I'm breaking code to all your emotions
Breaking societal norms to connect with deep emotions.
Do you think it's wrong if I go and help myself
Questioning the morality of self-indulgence and satisfaction.
To anything I want including how I want to fail
Expressing a willingness to embrace failure on one's terms.
At ever moving on don't you break away your spell
Resisting moving on, held by a spell or emotional attachment.
It will not be that long till I'm the beast and you're my belle
Foreseeing a transformation where roles reverse, becoming the "beast" and you the "belle."
I just wanna hold you one more time before you go
Reiterating the desire to hold you before parting.
Look into your eyes and slowly tear apart my soul
Embracing the pain of separation by gazing into your eyes.
Poetry is better when you read between the lines
Emphasizing the depth of poetry when looking beyond the surface.
Music to my ears the day we runaway or die
Anticipating a significant event, whether running away or facing challenges together.
