Bedsheets
Embers of Love: Olivia Lunny's Bedsheets Unraveled
Lyrics
Cigarette inside your hand
The person has a cigarette in their hand.
Wish you would hold me like that
The speaker wishes to be held in a manner similar to how the cigarette is held.
Breathe me in and and pull my close
Desire for close physical connection, asking to be embraced and pulled close while being breathed in.
I can only wait so long
Expressing impatience, suggesting there's a limit to how long the speaker can wait.
Do you think of me in your bedsheets
Questioning if the person thinks about the speaker when in bed.
Do they feel the same without me
Wondering if the bed sheets provide the same comfort without the speaker.
‘Cause the flame is out and now I choke
The flame of love has extinguished, leading to a feeling of suffocation.
As the love we had it turns to smoke
Reflecting on the end of a relationship, where the love transforms into something negative (smoke).
I got two more days
Counting down the remaining days until a departure.
Till I leave this place
Expressing a desire to leave the current place.
And you stay the same
Noticing that the other person remains unchanged.
I got two more days
Reiterating the countdown to departure.
Oh oh
Repetition of emotional expression (possibly frustration or realization).
Oh oh
-Is it true you love me yes or no
Seeking confirmation of love, a direct yes or no.
‘Cause back in June you told me so
Recalling a previous affirmation of love from June.
And now i’m in your house alone
Being alone in the other person's house, reflecting on the past.
The embers burns my body slow
Sensations of burning, possibly metaphorical, as the relationship deteriorates.
Do you think of me in these bed sheets
Repeating the question about being remembered in bed sheets.
Do you hear me babe I’m screaming
Expressing desperation to be heard, possibly feeling neglected.
‘Cause I thought I loved you now I know
Realization that what was once considered good has turned into something negative (smoke).
That good shouldn’t turn to smoke
Reflecting on the transformation of a positive experience into something negative.
I got two more days
Repeating the countdown to departure.
Till I leave this place
Stating that the other person will remain unchanged even after departure.
You’ll stay the same
Reiterating the lack of change in the other person.
I got two more days
Repeating the countdown, emphasizing the limited time left.
Leaving here I’ve gotta go
Expressing the necessity of leaving for personal growth, repeated for emphasis.
I’m leaving you I have to grow
-Leaving ‘cause I gotta go
-I’m leave you I have to grow
-Leaving here I’ve gotta go
-I’m leaving you I have to grow
-Leaving ‘cause I gotta go
-I’m leave ‘cause I have to grow
-Cigarette inside your hand
Reiteration of the initial image with a cigarette in hand.
Wish you would hold me like that
Reiterating the desire to be held in a specific manner.
