Longbody
Unveiling Heartbreak: Longbody's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
we pull the car around again
We circle back in the car once more.
to pick up something that you missed
Returning to retrieve something overlooked.
next to a glass of ice still melting
Near a glass of ice, still melting from last night's drink.
from the drink you drank last night
Referencing the remnants of your previous night's beverage.
I catch you writing on the wall again
Observing you writing on the wall.
I wonder who you're leaving signs for
Curious about the intended recipient of your messages.
I thought the light would turn off on its own
Expecting the light to turn off independently.
and so the car begins to die
The car starts losing power.
without a push from your long body
Your prolonged frame is needed to push the car.
but I don't have your long body
The speaker lacks your extended body.
I don't have your long body
Emphasizing the absence of the long body.
I don't have you now
Confirming the absence of the person.
I don't touch the wheel for half a mile
Abstaining from steering for a distance.
while I put my gloves on
Putting on gloves while the car is warm with open windows.
heat blaring and the windows down
Creating a contrast between external conditions and internal state.
I jump tracks to hear your voice
Changing tracks to hear the voice of the absent person.
I have not seen the bottom of my cup
The cup remains full, symbolizing an ongoing experience.
since we went ahead and filled it up
Continuous indulgence, unable to see the cup's bottom.
but the heart of the thing is too big to find now
The essence is elusive and vast, challenging to grasp.
the heart of the thing is too big to find without your long body
The heart's core is unreachable without the long body.
but I don't want your long body
Expressing a lack of desire for the extended body.
I don't want your long body
Reiterating the absence of longing for the extended body.
I don't want you now
Confirming the lack of desire for the person.
if you need me I'll be lying
The speaker will be reclining in a new light with their lover.
in that new light with my lover
Repeating the intention to be with a lover in a new light.
if you need me I'll be lying
Stating the availability to be found in a new light with a lover.
in that new light with my lover
Repeating the assurance of being with a lover in a new light.
