Lyrics

Shut the window pane

Expressing a desire for solitude or closure by closing the window.

Light a candle by the glass

Creating a calming atmosphere, possibly to reflect or contemplate.

Staring at the rain

Engaging in introspection while observing the rain, suggesting a reflective mood.

Waiting for the storm to pass

Awaiting the resolution of a difficult situation or emotional turmoil.

Letters from lost love

Receiving written communication, likely related to past relationships.

In piles stacked neat on the shelf

Organizing and storing memories of lost love in a structured manner.

Friends like loose ends

Describing friendships as incomplete or unresolved, needing assistance.

Tied together in need of some help

Highlighting the interconnectedness of friends in times of need.

I'm too scared to fend for myself

Expressing fear or reluctance to face challenges independently.

If I slip up once

Concerns about potential consequences if a mistake is made.

Will I crack my shell

A metaphorical reference to vulnerability and the fear of breaking down.

I can't pretend that I feel compelled

Unable to fake enthusiasm or motivation for something.

To keep pushing on to be

Questioning the purpose of persisting and striving to become someone else.

Somebody else

Repeating the desire to be a different person, suggesting dissatisfaction.

Somebody else

Reiteration of the desire for change or transformation.

Cleaning up the place

Cleaning and tidying up as a metaphor for self-improvement or renewal.

Broom and dustpan clear the way

Removing obstacles or negativity to pave the way for a better future.

Staring at my face

Looking at oneself in the mirror, possibly evaluating personal growth.

Smile till my muscles ache

Forcing a smile despite inner struggles, portraying a facade of happiness.

Piecing together

Attempting to reconstruct and make sense of the remnants of one's life.

whats left of the life that I lead

Struggling to contain unspoken thoughts and emotions.

Hope to contain all these thoughts that I have left unsaid

Hoping to manage and control unresolved emotions and thoughts.

I'm too scared to fend for myself

Reiterating fear of facing challenges independently.

If I slip up once

Concerns about the fragility of one's emotional or psychological state.

Will I crack my shell

Continuing the theme of vulnerability and fear of breaking down.

I cant pretend that I feel compelled

Unable to fake enthusiasm or motivation for something.

To keep pushing on to be

Questioning the purpose of persisting and striving to become someone else.

Somebody else

Repeating the desire to be a different person, suggesting dissatisfaction.

Somebody else

Unable to fake enthusiasm or motivation for something.

To keep pushing on to be

Questioning the purpose of persisting and striving to become someone else.

Somebody else

Repeating the desire to be a different person, suggesting dissatisfaction.

I'm too scared to talk for myself

Reiterating fear of speaking up or expressing oneself.

With one sentence done

Highlighting the preference for actions over words.

It's more like show then tell

Suggesting a tendency to present oneself rather than openly communicate.

Words turn worse then what I can sell

Words are not as effective as actions in conveying emotions.

I'll keep pushing on to be

Persisting in the pursuit of change or transformation despite challenges.

Somebody else

Repeating the desire to become someone else, emphasizing determination.

Somebody else

Final repetition of the yearning to transform into a different person.
