Ephemeral Love and Artistry in Rustic Overtones' Pop Trash
Lyrics
So what about you and me?
Expressing curiosity about the relationship between the speaker and the listener.
Will thoughtfulness fade
Questioning whether consideration and thoughtfulness will diminish over time.
The looks we cast away?
Referring to the non-verbal expressions or glances that are discarded or ignored.
The beginning of tomorrow is today.
Emphasizing the importance of the present in shaping the future.
Can we love another way?
Pondering the possibility of expressing love in a different, unconventional manner.
Save your favors
Encouraging the listener to save their kindness because both individuals are emotionally battered.
'Cause we're both bruised from labors.
Acknowledging emotional scars or hardships from efforts and struggles.
Is this art we make
Raising a question about whether the creative output is genuine art or merely a simple creation.
Or is it only crayons?
Raising the question of whether the artistic expression is profound or as simple as using crayons.
Clouds transform to a storm once more.
Highlighting the potential transformation of a calm situation into a turbulent one.
Love will swarm.
Indicating that love can be overwhelming and all-encompassing.
If it weren't so cold we'd be too warm.
Suggesting that if the situation were not emotionally distant, it would be emotionally intense.
This does not include me
Expressing detachment from a situation or statement.
This does not affect me.
Reiterating that the situation has no impact or influence on the speaker.
You don't have to lie to me
Asserting that honesty is preferred, as the situation does not affect the speaker.
'Cause this doesn't apply to me.
Reinforcing that the situation is not relevant or applicable to the speaker.
I talk you up, you put me down.
Expressing a pattern of the speaker praising the listener and receiving criticism in return.
Hey, girl there's no one around now.
Noticing the absence of others and questioning the listener's behavior.
Why can't you treat me nice?
Pleading for kind treatment from the listener.
Speechless, so I dance around.
Feeling speechless and avoiding direct communication by dancing around the issue.
The sweetest words make not a sound.
Highlighting the emptiness or lack of impact of sweet words that are not expressed audibly.
If you need something to talk about
Suggesting a willingness to break the silence and discuss any unresolved issues.
We can break this silence down.
Offering a solution to break the existing silence and communicate openly.
Is this love or a radio definition of perfect?
Questioning whether the perceived love is genuine or merely conforms to an idealized definition often portrayed in the media.
