Lyrics
There's a space in between
Describes a gap or distance between things, likened to a dull but enduring presence
Like a grey evergreen
Comparing the gap to an evergreen tree, using the color grey to signify something persistent and unchanged
Where the hurt never meant stops to linger
Where emotional pain persists without ceasing
On the pavement below
Refers to a crack in the pavement below, possibly representing a fracture or flaw in the environment
See a crack that I know
An identifiable imperfection, relating to a familiar pain or struggle
All the corners of you
All the parts of your being
All the bones that I knew
Refers to knowing someone deeply, understanding their essence
I said I would never come back
Expressing a commitment not to return
Screaming at the walls in jet black
Experiencing intense emotions, possibly anger or frustration
Hurt until my words are out flat
Feeling emotionally drained, unable to articulate thoughts
Can I whisper it back?
Questioning the possibility of reversing or taking back words or actions
What a waste, what a waste
Repeated refrain highlighting the feeling of being alone as a waste, emphasizing the isolation
What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-There's a space in between
Repetition of earlier verses, reinforcing the persisting emotional pain and familiarity with it
Like a grey evergreen
-Where the hurt never meant starts to linger
-On the pavement below
-See a crack that I know
-All the corners of you
-All the bones that I knew
-I said I would never come back
Reiteration of commitment not to return, intense emotional turmoil, and desire to retract words or actions
Screaming at the walls in jet black
-Hurt until my words are out flat
-Can I whisper it back?
-I said I would never come back
-Screaming at the walls in jet black
-Hurt until my words are out flat
-Can I whisper it back?
-What a waste, what a waste
Repeated chorus emphasizing the waste and heaviness of loneliness
What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-So alone, so alone a waste, what a waste
Continued repetition of the feeling of being alone as a waste, expressing the overwhelming nature of this emotion
What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
-A waste, what a waste
-What a waste to be so alone
