Wither On The Vine
Fading Echoes: Unveiling the Bittersweet Dance of Love and Decay
Lyrics
Blueblood vagabond with your bag of tricks
The person described is of high social status (blueblood) but lives a nomadic, unpredictable life.
Toss them at her wall, see which one will stick
They try various things to impress or impact someone but are unsure of what will be effective.
Footloose, fancy-free, got nothing but time
They are carefree, without obligations, and have plenty of time on their hands.
Keep it up like this, you'll wither on the vine
Continuing this way will result in their potential going to waste or them deteriorating.
No one called you Romeo, you just pulled on his boots
The person adopts the role of Romeo without being labeled as such, stepping into his romantic persona.
Juliet with the opiates, was a heroin to shoot
Comparing someone they're with to Juliet, who's addictive like a drug.
Take her in your arm, then you can unwind
By embracing this person, they can relax or feel at ease.
Keep it up like this, you'll wither on the vine
Repeating the warning that continuing this behavior will lead to a decline.
But who'll be the one to take you in when the storm is coming down?
Questioning who will support them during difficult times.
I know you like to think that you're the only one who's felt that thorny crown
They believe they've experienced hardships unique to them, reminiscent of Jesus' crown of thorns.
Wither on the vine
Reiteration of the warning about potential decline or deterioration.
Blueblood vagabond, are you feeling sick?
Checking in on the person's well-being, possibly suggesting they seem unwell.
Fly out in the yard, falling like a brick
Metaphorically falling apart or experiencing a downfall.
Soaked in nicotine and fortified with wine
Describing their state as saturated with nicotine and alcohol, possibly indicating addiction.
Keep it up like this, you'll wither on the vine
Repeating the caution about the consequences of their current lifestyle.
But who'll be the one to take you in when the storm is coming down?
Repeating the concern about who will support them in tough times.
I know you like to think that you're the only one who's felty that thorny crown
Emphasizing the belief that their struggles are unique, akin to wearing a crown of thorns.
Wither on the vine
Reiteration of the warning about potential decline or deterioration.
Wither on the vine
Repeating the caution of wasting away or losing potential.
