Your Apartment
City Views and Broken Hearts: Real Fake Flowers' Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
You can see the city from your apartment
You have a view of the city from your apartment.
I can't light a candle 'cause you'll lose your deposit
Using a candle is prohibited as it may result in losing the rental deposit.
Just so you know
A transition line, setting the stage for the following thoughts.
I can't sleep in summer without a fan
In summer, you need a fan to sleep comfortably.
My temperature is rising, can we just spend the night in?
The singer's temperature is rising, suggesting emotional intensity, and a desire to spend the night together.
I'm never up this late because I get too tired
The singer is not accustomed to staying up late due to fatigue.
Ambulances crying until the morning after
Ambulances are a noisy disturbance, possibly reflecting a chaotic environment.
You've been wasting your breath
A realization that efforts have been in vain or not valued.
There are just too many weights on my chest
Feeling burdened, possibly by emotional or life challenges.
And I don't know how we got this far
Uncertainty about the progression of a relationship.
Karma's catching up to all these scars
The consequences of past actions are catching up, possibly implying regret.
I guess that I like to bet a little better than you
The singer enjoys taking risks or uncertainties more than the listener.
Am I only chemical? I can't shake the feeling
Questioning the nature of one's existence, perhaps in a romantic context.
Gravity's irrelevant, I'm stuck on the ceiling
Feeling emotionally stuck, with gravity symbolically irrelevant.
Heartache and malevolence, I'll mix and measure
Mixing heartache and malevolence, possibly addressing emotional pain and ill will.
I can be your waiter babe, you know it's my pleasure
The singer is willing to serve and please, expressing a desire to contribute positively.
You've been wasting your breath
Reiteration of feeling unheard or undervalued.
There are just too many weights on my chest
The burdens are overwhelming and affecting the singer's chest.
And I don't know how we got this far
Continued uncertainty about the relationship's progress.
Karma's catching up to all these scars
Past actions or mistakes are catching up, leading to consequences.
I guess that I like to bet a little better than you
The singer finds thrill or satisfaction in taking risks compared to the listener.
Who said it was easy to love where you started?
Questioning the ease of loving one's origin or starting point.
I can't save my feelings from broken hearts alone
The singer cannot shield their emotions from heartbreak alone.
Who said it was easy to love where you started?
Reiteration of the difficulty in loving one's roots.
I can't save my feelings from broken hearts alone
The singer cannot protect themselves from emotional pain without help.
You can see the city from your apartment
Repetition of the earlier description of the city view from the apartment.
I can't see the ceiling from your apartment
The singer cannot see the ceiling in the listener's apartment, suggesting an unfamiliar or uncomfortable environment.
You can see the city from your apartment
Reiteration of the city view from the apartment.
But you can't see the sky when it's blue
