Control Is a Virtue
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Virtue of Control in Rosesleeves' Melody
Lyrics
Time keeps stretching forward
Time is continually moving forward.
I'm chasing after
The speaker is actively pursuing or seeking something.
Don't know what's more important
Uncertainty about what holds greater importance.
Will it last when I'm gone
Questioning the longevity of an impact after the speaker is no longer present.
Yeah I messed it up
Acknowledging a mistake or failure.
It's always so dark
A metaphorical reference to a difficult or challenging situation.
I can't find a way out til I have a change of heart
Feeling stuck until there is a change in perspective or attitude.
I wish that you never left
Expressing a desire that someone important had not departed.
You still haunt me everyday
The departed person's memory continues to affect the speaker daily.
And though I know you're not dead
Recognizing that the person is not physically deceased.
So far you feel past the grave
Feeling emotionally distant despite the person being alive.
I know control is a virtue in my head
Acknowledging the value of self-control as an ideal.
I will be pure of this envy I possess
Expressing a commitment to overcoming jealousy or resentment.
It wasn't friends
Denying that the cause of the situation was influenced by friends.
And I'll die on that hill
Willing to stand firm on a belief or position.
Cause you said what you said
Recalling someone's words.
And I felt what I felt
Experiencing strong emotions based on those words.
I was fine till I took the time to think about it
Initially coping well until reflecting on the situation.
Now it's my whole life don't know what to do without it
The situation now dominates the speaker's life, causing confusion.
Always on my mind no it's never felt this crowded
Constantly preoccupied with thoughts, feeling overwhelmed.
I'm just looking for something to keep me grounded
Seeking stability or something to anchor the speaker emotionally.
Turn my feelings off just carry on drowning
Considering numbing emotions and continuing without dealing with them.
It's easier if you bury and pretend that you never found it
Suggesting it's easier to ignore and pretend not to have discovered certain emotions or truths.
I wish that you never left
Reiterating the desire for the departed person not to have left.
You still haunt me everyday
Re-emphasizing the ongoing impact of the departed person.
And though I know you're not dead
Recognizing the person is not physically deceased, but emotionally distant.
So far you feel past the grave
Feeling the emotional distance extends beyond death.
I know control is a virtue in my head
Reiterating the importance of self-control as an ideal.
I will be pure of this envy I possess
Commitment to overcoming envy or resentment in thoughts and emotions.
