Wake Up When It's Over
Love's Quiet Cracks: Unveiling the Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
It wasn't one big blow that brought our love down
Highlighting that the end of their love wasn't caused by a single significant event but by subtle, unnoticed issues.
It was a hairline cracks that took it to the ground
Comparing the deterioration of love to small, unnoticed cracks that eventually led to the collapse of the relationship.
Just kept creeping over time
Describing the gradual progression of problems over time.
Spreading like wildfire
Using a metaphor of wildfire to convey the rapid and uncontrollable spread of issues.
It wasn't one big blow that brought our love down
Reiterating that the downfall of their love was not a result of a single major incident.
You didn't wanna see
Addressing the partner's unwillingness to acknowledge the problems in the relationship.
You didn't wanna believe the dreams getting colder
Expressing the reluctance to accept the reality that dreams or aspirations are fading away.
We begged the truth to bend
Describing a plea for honesty and reality to be more flexible or accommodating.
It's easier to pretend
Suggesting that pretending is a more comfortable option than facing the harsh truth.
You only see it when you're sober
Indicating that clarity about the relationship is only apparent when one is not under the influence.
Yeah you only wake up when it's over
Emphasizing the tendency to realize the severity of the situation only after it has concluded.
You only wake up when it's over
-There was so much love too, I didn't realize
Reflecting on the abundance of love that went unnoticed.
There was so much love we couldn't recognize
Acknowledging that the love they shared was substantial but not fully appreciated.
'Cause you can only get a clear view
Stating that a clear perspective is only attainable when the love is fading away.
When it's fading in the wind
Using the wind as a metaphor for the passage of time and the gradual loss of love.
There was so much love too, we didn't realize
Reiterating that there was a significant amount of unacknowledged love.
You didn't wanna see
Repeating the partner's unwillingness to confront the problems in the relationship.
You didn't wanna believe the dreams getting colder

We begged the truth to bend
Reiterating the plea for truth to be more flexible, hinting at the difficulty of facing reality.
It's easier to pretend
