Smug Peach
Reflections of Lost Youth: Shadow Party's 'Smug Peach' Tale
Lyrics
I'm under the impression
I feel like I'm being perceived in a certain way.
That you see your reflection
You find aspects of yourself in everything positive around you.
In every bright expression
Your positive emotions are reflected in various situations.
Of all the twenty something girls
Observing and comparing yourself to young women in their twenties.
And you can suck the youth away
You drain the vitality and energy from others.
And you can take all you can take
You take everything available without restraint.
Save every piece that breaks
Collecting and holding onto the fragments of what breaks.
Tumbles to the floor
Things falling apart and hitting the ground.
I fell on your blade
I faced a harmful situation or relationship.
Now I'm too far gone to save
It's now too late to recover from the damage.
The structure's gonna kill me now
The existing system or structure is causing harm.
He's gonna find out somehow
Someone will discover the issues eventually.
So I'm popping all my pills
Resorting to medication to cope with the pain.
Trying to push it down
Attempting to suppress the emotional turmoil.
Our love was a time bomb
The love shared was volatile and destructive.
Our love was a mirror ball
Comparing the love to a fragile and temporary illusion.
Saw so much of you and I fall
Witnessed a lot in the relationship, leading to a fall.
And I heard every sound
Heard and experienced every aspect of the relationship.
I fell on your blade
Reiteration of the earlier harmful situation or relationship.
Now I'm too far gone to save
The damage is irreversible, beyond salvation.
You took it all and still you fade
Despite taking everything, you are fading away.
Can you just act your age
A plea to behave appropriately for your age.
I'm under the impression
Repetition of feeling misunderstood or misjudged.
That you sense my inflection
You pick up on the nuances in my tone of speech.
A facetious infection
An ironic and insincere influence spreading like an infection.
Of a twenty something girl
Affecting the life of a woman in her twenties.
