Rupture
Rupture: Echoes of Lost Love in Smoke and Silence
Lyrics
Got my key in the door
Entering a familiar place, possibly home.
I'm not sure
Expressing uncertainty or confusion.
What I'm going home for
Questioning the purpose of returning home.
Creeping in taking a hold
Slowly infiltrating and gaining control.
But I only get colder
Feeling a chill or emotional detachment.
And cigarettes remind me of you
Associating cigarettes with memories of someone.
I guess that's why
Recognizing the connection and frequency of smoking.
I smoke them as much as I do
Smoking as a coping mechanism since the person's departure.
since you've been gone
Acknowledging the impact of the person's absence.
I can't forget
Struggling to forget the person.
The presence of you
The lingering influence or memory of the person.
That ghost on my skin
Describing the person's presence as a haunting presence.
That won't let me start over again
Unable to start anew due to the lingering memories.
Since you've been gone
Reiterating the impact of the person's absence.
And I don't wish you'd die
Expressing a desire for closure without malice.
But I'd drink to your death
Symbolic willingness to let go, even through extreme means.
Just to get closure
Seeking resolution or finality after the person's departure.
And I'd dance on your grave
Symbolic act of moving on and overcoming the past.
With my very last breath
Expressing a strong desire to move forward.
Just to get over
Willingness to overcome the impact of the person's absence.
Since you've been gone
Reiterating the challenges faced since the person left.
Cause cigarettes remind me of you
Repeating the association of cigarettes with memories of the person.
I guess that's why
Acknowledging the persistent nature of the smoking habit.
I smoke them as much as I do
Continued reliance on smoking as a coping mechanism.
since you've been gone
Reiterating the difficulty in forgetting the person.
I can't forget
Struggling with the enduring presence of the person.
The presence of you
Describing the person's influence as a lingering presence.
A ghost on my skin
Comparing the person's impact to a ghost on the skin.
That wont let me start over again
Feeling unable to start afresh due to the lingering memories.
Since you've been gone
Reiterating the challenges faced since the person left.
Since you've been gone
Reiterating the continued impact of the person's absence.
