Lyrics
Am I awake?
Questioning reality and consciousness, unsure if awake.
Am I a sucker for anything or anyone?
Reflecting on susceptibility to anything or anyone.
Compiling words for an argument (yeah)
Creating arguments with words.
And now I'm sounding so vigilant (yeah)
Expressing heightened awareness.
In fact I know it's my hearts defense.
Recognizing that emotional defenses are in play.
like curves that flow and the sand it spins.
Metaphorically describing the fluidity of life and time.
It spirals down through the hourglass
Describing the passage of time like sand through an hourglass.
but who's got time for that?
Questioning the value of time.
Well I could hold my head up to you.
Offering vulnerability or openness to someone.
I could wish for better days
Expressing a desire for better days.
but be honest no one feels the same.
Acknowledging a lack of shared feelings with others.
In the garden I could look a fool
Being willing to appear foolish for love.
but be honest babe the pain was brutal.
Recognizing the pain of love.
An optimist sure to show (what's really going on below)
Being optimistic while acknowledging hidden struggles.
The taste of chocolate recognized.
Using the taste of chocolate as a metaphor for recognizing something familiar.
Well I'm not happy.
Explicitly stating unhappiness.
There's eyes in the graveyard.
Noticing eyes in a graveyard, possibly symbolizing death or loss.
He's reading words on a dirty stone.
Reading words on a gravestone, suggesting a connection to mortality.
His last words spoke through the telephone.
Referring to someone's last words spoken through a phone, possibly emphasizing communication.
Those words were sealed through an envelope.
Highlighting the permanence of words sealed in an envelope.
Well I could hope for better days if no one steals my wheels away.
Expressing hope for better days if personal possessions are preserved.
In the garden I could look a fool but be honest babe the pain was brutal.
Acknowledging the potential for looking foolish in love.
An optimist is sure to show (what's really going on below)
Reiterating optimism despite hidden struggles.
The taste of chocolate recognized.
Using chocolate taste as a metaphor for familiarity in a situation.
Well I'm not happy... But you are.
Contrasting personal unhappiness with someone else's happiness.
I've been put in the middle of...
Being caught in a complex situation.
No I'm not just a body
Asserting individuality beyond being just a physical entity.
Well I've been stuck in the middle of love
Describing being stuck in the complexities of love.
and now my hearts with somebody.
Expressing a shift in romantic affections.
