Lyrics
I saw you playing at the pill arcade
Saw someone engaged in the consumption of pills at an arcade.
it was a downer day, not like yesterday
Referring to a somber day, contrasting it with a more positive past.
on roofs we sang sad melodies
Recalling singing melancholic tunes together on rooftops.
and in the slow decay, the showers came
Describing a period of gradual decline with the arrival of showers, possibly symbolic of troubles.
We learned to make no judgment
Embracing a non-judgmental mindset.
No more barricades, every touch I made
Breaking down barriers, every physical contact breaking the facade.
Melted the bony marrow of our masquerade
Metaphorically melting the artificial outer layer of their personas to reveal vulnerability.
to shades of grey and I
Transitioning to a nuanced understanding, represented by shades of grey.
And I, told you what was true
Expressing honesty and transparency.
And I found the dark in you.
Discovering the hidden, darker aspects within the other person.
And I felt this kind of blue
Experiencing a melancholic or sad emotional state.
And I found the dark in you
Reiterating the discovery of hidden, darker elements within the other person.
When the morning came we were still wide awake
Despite the morning arriving, remaining awake, possibly indicating a prolonged emotional state.
feeling shivers we hate start to gravitate
Feeling discomfort or unease, with a reference to gravitational forces.
and the water we drank we still felt the taste
Tasting the lingering effects of past experiences, particularly those involving intensity or passion.
of the fire made in our altered state, but I
Reflecting on the impact of a past event that altered their state of being.
Never went back no I never went back
Deciding not to return to a previous state or mindset.
took this heart of mine, and let it die
Allowing a significant part of oneself to wither or fade away.
no I never went back no I never went back
Reaffirming the choice to avoid reverting to the past.
wrapped up in lace, is my own lie and I
Symbolizing personal deception wrapped in an appealing exterior.
And I, told you what was true
Repeating the theme of honesty and transparency.
And I found the dark in you.
Rediscovering the hidden, dark aspects within the other person.
And I felt this kind of blue
Experiencing a blue or sad emotional state once again.
And I found the dark in you
Reiterating the continued discovery of hidden, darker elements within the other person.
