ode to a supernova
Whispers of a Love Mirage: Sabrina Ault's Cosmic Confession
Lyrics
I could pick your freckles out of a crowd
I have the ability to recognize your unique features in a crowd.
I could be the stars in your eyes if you'd let me
I could be the source of joy and inspiration in your life if you allow me.
You're just another confession
You are just another secret or hidden truth.
I wish you would let me be
I wish you would give me the chance to be myself.
Mirage and rose colored glasses
An illusion and a distorted positive perspective.
I am a fool, you are a waste of my time I think
I feel foolish, and you seem like a waste of my time.
I think I'm running out of mind to lose
I feel like I'm losing my sanity or sense of self.
I think I might be in love with you
I suspect I might be falling in love with you.
Leave behind, I've always been juvenile
I'm leaving the past behind; I've always been immature.
Leave behind just the taste of your smile
I'm leaving behind memories of your smile.
Warning signs, I am just a small bit of space
Indications or signs suggest I occupy a small space in your life.
Warning signs say that you're not worth my while
Warnings suggest that you're not worth my time or attention.
Mirage and rose colored glasses
Similar to line 6, reinforcing a distorted positive perspective.
I am a fool as you're still making passes
I feel foolish as you continue to make advances or attempts.
I think I'm just not used to being somebody who's wanted
I'm not accustomed to being desired by someone.
I just wanted something that lasted
I only wanted something lasting or enduring.
Smile in the sun
Smiling in the sun, portraying a moment of happiness.
Just like the world had just stopped spinning
Describing a moment where the world seems to stand still.
Just as the way my heart stops beating
Comparing the pause in the world to the cessation of one's heartbeat.
As the new world was beginning
A metaphor for the start of a new phase or relationship.
Smile up at me
Requesting a smile directed at the speaker.
Just like you just saw an angel
Describing a smile as if the person has seen an angel.
I am still falling from above
Despite falling, there's a feeling of timeless connection.
Why do I still feel like we're age old?
Questioning why the connection feels ancient or longstanding.
Quick, turn back
Urgently advising to turn back from a particular moment.
You're still a moment I can't stop living
You are a moment that I can't stop reliving.
I live in the nervous glances and mistakes I keep forgiving
The speaker lives in moments of anxiety and forgiveness.
Quick, turning pale
Quickly becoming pale, indicating fear or shock.
Hold me as I forget to keep breathing
Asking to be held during a moment of forgetting to breathe.
Hold me as if I was still believing
Desiring to be held as if the speaker still believes in something.
And don't let me go
A plea not to be let go.
Mirage and rose colored glasses
Reiterating a distorted positive perspective and self-perception.
I am a freak and annoying and senseless
The speaker sees themselves as abnormal, irritating, and without purpose.
You are a fraud, I can't stand you don't need me
You are a deception; I can't tolerate that you don't need me.
I can't tell which one of us is the densest
Uncertainty about which person is more foolish or unaware.
Mirage and rose colored glasses
Similar to line 38, reinforcing a distorted positive perspective.
I am a fool, you are a waste of my time I think
Feeling foolish, and the other person seems like a waste of time.
I think I'm running out of mind to lose
Repetition of feeling like losing one's mind and suspecting love.
I think I might be in love with you
Repeating the suspicion of falling in love with the other person.
