Your Portrait
Undone Canvas: Unveiling the Haunting Portrait of Lost Love
Lyrics
Yeah I know
Expressing awareness or understanding
How many times do i gotta say it?
Frustration at the need to repeatedly convey a message
I don't
Denial or refusal
We burned slow through the winter
Describing a slow burn or decline during the winter
And after it got old
After the experience became old or tiresome
I'm undone
Feeling undone or emotionally affected
I'm sliding out of my covers into the sun
Moving out of comfort into a challenging situation
Where you looking now?
Questioning someone's focus or attention
I can see past the crooks of your teeth
Seeing beyond superficial aspects, possibly deception
and your lips are cracked
Observing physical signs of distress or neglect
You're just a habit
Characterizing someone as a habit, possibly negative
A rotting out lung
Portraying someone as a deteriorating or harmful influence
Nothing but an idea
Reducing someone to a mere concept or abstract notion
You never hit my tongue
Implying lack of direct communication or intimacy
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Expressing a preference for internal thoughts or imagination
Than lost in my head
Choosing mental isolation over external influences
Drowning out your dead voice
Ignoring or avoiding the impact of the person's voice
And singing out instead
Choosing self-expression over external voices
I'm gonna paint you a portrait
Expressing an intention to create a representation of someone
I'm gonna paint your portrait
Reiterating the intention to paint a portrait
My memory's no good anymore
Acknowledging a decline in memory function
But that's alright
Acceptance of memory decline as acceptable
Because i still know you just as well as before
Claiming familiarity with the person despite memory loss
You're my souvenir
Describing the person as a keepsake or memory
With faded running colors
Depicting the person with fading, less vivid qualities
And old broken ceramic
Comparing the person to old, deteriorating materials
Cutting my hands and making me bleed
Highlighting the pain and negative consequences of the connection
And I got this fucked up song from it
Receiving a distorted or damaged creation from the experience
