Punch
Ephemeral Love and Tired Cups: Music for Models' Poetic Punch
Lyrics
I see coal in our eyes
There's a sense of darkness or hardship reflected in our gaze or expressions.
Watched me steal your light
Witnessed me taking away your brightness or happiness.
Shared a cigarette
We shared a moment of intimacy or connection, possibly during a difficult time.
Yeah we stayed alive
We managed to survive or endure despite challenges.
It was not enough
What we had or what we did wasn't sufficient for both of us.
For the two of us
The situation or relationship couldn't accommodate both of us adequately.
Drinks from tired cups
We drank from cups that symbolize weariness or exhaustion.
Cause my baby packs a punch
My partner is strong and impactful, possibly intense or forceful.
It was all a bit too much
The situation became overwhelming or excessive.
Never bout the two of us
It was never solely about us as a couple.
Taking a familiar puff
Engaging in a familiar act, possibly to find comfort or solace.
Now my baby's packed her stuff
My partner has left, packed belongings and departed.
There's a beautiful boy
There's an attractive or charming young man present.
Sitting in the dark
He sits in darkness, possibly feeling lonely or isolated.
Alone he softly trembles
He trembles softly, indicating vulnerability or distress.
Crumpled up papes line an ashtray
Scattered papers lie around like discarded or disregarded thoughts.
I picked myself up
I got up from his bed, suggesting a departure or separation.
From his bed
I made new acquaintances or friends for a single night.
Made some one night friends
Stockholm, the setting, has a haunting or eerie presence.
Stockholm's haunted guise
There's a mention of a lesbian who's in a highly altered state.
She's a lesbian
Similar to line 5, the situation or relationship was insufficient for both.
And she's really high
Again, referencing the weariness from drinking.
It was not enough
My partner possesses strength or impact similar to before.
For the two of us
Reiterating the inadequacy of the situation for both.
Drinks from tired cups
Another reference to drinking from cups symbolizing fatigue.
Cause my baby packs a punch
A repeated emphasis on the strength or forcefulness of my partner.
It was all a bit too much
It became overwhelming or excessive yet again.
Never bout the two of us
Highlighting it was never solely about the couple.
Taking a familiar puff
Engaging in a familiar act, possibly seeking comfort.
Now my baby's packed her stuff
My partner has departed, packed belongings and left.
