You're Getting Married
Love's Cost: A Melancholic Journey of Unrequited Feelings
Lyrics
Threw a stone at the moon,
Expressing a futile or impossible gesture, throwing a stone at the moon.
And I was hoping it would orbit and drop down,
Hoping for an extraordinary outcome, wanting the moon to orbit and reach a specific destination.
At the window of your bedroom, if you only knew.
Desiring a connection with someone, specifically at their bedroom window.
Tried to bend laws of nature,
Attempting to defy natural laws, suggesting a struggle against reality.
I tried to teach myself how to hate you,
Trying to cultivate negative feelings, possibly in response to a relationship.
But it took more than I've got,
Acknowledging personal limitations in fostering hatred.
If you only knew.
Expressing a desire for understanding or recognition from the other person.
That I'm on the edge of forever with you on my mind,
Feeling a deep connection or longing for someone, possibly unrequited.
You'd open your window but hey you just ain't got the time.
Recognizing a lack of time or willingness from the other person to engage.
You're getting married and I'm getting lost,
Expressing a sense of loss and despair as the other person is getting married.
In bottles and bends in the road, fuck it, girl it's your loss.
Coping with the pain through substances and navigating life's challenges.
You're getting married and I'm getting lost,
Reiterating the theme of the other person's marriage and the speaker's loss.
Bullshit and bravado are worthless but come at a cost.
Highlighting the worthlessness of certain behaviors but acknowledging their consequences.
And that cost is more than I can afford.
Stating that the consequences are more than the speaker can handle.
I'm alone in a room,
Describing isolation, accompanied by unsettling elements in the environment.
Except for spiders in the corners and flies hungry for doom,
Comparing personal desires to those of spiders and flies, implying shared dark intentions.
And I'm ashamed to admit I want the same thing they do.
Admitting a shameful desire aligned with the creatures in the room.
Tried to bend laws of nature,
Repeating the attempt to defy natural laws in the context of the relationship.
I tried to teach myself how to hate you,
Reiterating the struggle to generate negative emotions toward the other person.
But it took more than I've got, if you only knew.
Emphasizing the difficulty in hating, especially if the other person is aware.
That I'm on the edge of forever with you on my mind.
Reaffirming a profound connection or obsession with the other person.
You'd open your window but hey you just ain't got the time.
Noting the lack of receptiveness or time from the other person.
You're getting married and I'm getting lost,
Expressing the theme of the other person's marriage and the speaker's spiraling into self-destructive behaviors.
In bottles and bends in the road, fuck it, girl it's your loss.
Using substances and navigating challenges as a coping mechanism.
You're getting married and I'm getting lost,
Reiterating the loss felt by the speaker due to the other person's marriage.
Bullshit and bravado are worthless but come at a cost.
Acknowledging the consequences of certain attitudes and behaviors.
And that cost is more than I can afford.
Stating that the consequences are overwhelming or beyond the speaker's capacity.
I'm aware that's a place I can't go.
Acknowledging a realization that there's a place or situation the speaker can't access.
And I'm aware that I made it so.
Taking responsibility for creating barriers or limitations.
If I could just find a way back home.
Expressing a desire to return to a state of familiarity or comfort.
You're getting married and I'm getting lost,
Reiterating the theme of the other person's marriage and the speaker's descent into self-destructive habits.
In bottles and bends in the road, fuck it, girl it's your loss.
Using substances and facing challenges as a way to cope with the emotional pain.
You're getting married and I'm getting lost,
Emphasizing the continued loss experienced by the speaker.
Bullshit and bravado are worthless but come at a cost.
Acknowledging the worthlessness of certain behaviors and their associated costs.
And that cost is more than I can afford.
Stating that the consequences are more than the speaker can bear.
