Patchouli and Lavender
Fading Love and Scented Memories: Patchouli & Lavender Chronicles
Lyrics
Last month you vowed you'd never talk to me again and as always you've held your word
Last month, you promised not to communicate with me again, and you have kept your word, as usual.
But the truth will come out eventually and by that point you'll just feel absurd
The truth will eventually be revealed, and at that point, you will likely feel foolish.
And the ring that you gave to me for my birthday only turned my finger green
The ring you gave me for my birthday caused my finger to turn green, indicating that the love associated with it was insincere.
I should've known by that point that your love was only cheap as it faded in front of me
I should have realized at that moment that your love was cheap, as it faded away right in front of me.
I watched it fade in front of me
I witnessed the fading of your love firsthand.
So light up your incense
Light up your incense.
Let the smoke fill up the room
Allow the smoke to fill the room.
Until I can't see five feet in front of me
Continue until visibility is reduced to five feet in front of me, creating a barrier between us.
And I can't be seen by you
I want to be unseen by you.
Turn up your records and
Increase the volume of your records.
Turn down the lights
Dim the lights in the room.
Whatever you need to do to make yourself feel more alive
Take any necessary actions to make yourself feel more alive.
My room reeks of patchouli and lavender
The scent of patchouli and lavender fills my room.
And all the other scents I always liked
Other scents I once enjoyed are now cursed as they remind me of our late January nights.
But you've cursed them all cause they just bring me back
These scents bring me back to memories that are painful or regrettable.
To our late January nights
Particularly reminiscent of our nights in late January.
The nice thing about summer is it's always less than a year away
The positive aspect of summer is that it's less than a year away, offering hope for a better time.
Guess I'll stay indoors until I feel the warmth of the sweet sun in May
I'll stay indoors until I can experience the warmth of the sun in May.
Light up your incense
Light up your incense again.
Let the smoke fill up the room
Let the room be filled with smoke once more.
Until I can't see five feet in front of me
Continue until visibility is limited to five feet, maintaining the distance between us.
And I can't be seen by you
I desire to be hidden from your view.
Turn up your records and
Increase the volume of your records once again.
Turn down the lights
Dim the lights as before.
Whatever you need to do to make yourself feel more alive
Take any necessary steps to make yourself feel more alive.
