Heartbreak Avenue
Navigating Heartbreak: Shaun Ivory's Melodic Journey Through Pain
Lyrics
On the freeway
Expressing a sense of movement on a wide road.
Driving 80 going nowhere
Driving fast without a clear destination.
While you're in the subway
Referencing the other person's journey via a different mode of transportation (subway).
Headed to him now that's not fair
Feeling unfair that the person is heading to someone else.
And I hate the way
Expressing dislike or discomfort regarding how someone looks at another person.
you look at him with those eyes
Reiterating the discomfort with the way the person gazes at someone else.
And I hate the way
Continuing to express discomfort or dislike.
You hold him in your arms
Expressing discomfort with the physical closeness between the two people.
Heartbreak avenue
Metaphorically referring to the emotional pain experienced due to a relationship.
What did I do to get to you
Asking what actions led to being in this painful emotional state.
Heartbreak avenue
Repeating the mention of the emotional pain experienced in this situation.
Can't leave but I want to
Expressing the desire to leave the situation but feeling unable to.
Oh I've tried, I've tried
Conveying attempts made to change the situation or feelings.
Again and again
Repeating attempts or efforts made to change the situation.
Heartbreak avenue
Reiterating the reference to the emotional pain felt due to the relationship.
How could you be so cruel
Questioning how someone can act so hurtfully.
Do I really deserve this
Questioning whether one truly deserves the pain they are experiencing.
I can't take this pain no more
Expressing inability to bear the emotional pain any longer.
I don't want to be hurting
Expressing the desire not to experience emotional pain.
There's no light at the end of the hall
Metaphorically implying a lack of hope for improvement or relief.
I don't really deserve this
Reiterating the question of whether the pain is deserved.
I think it's time for me to move on
Expressing the decision to move forward from the painful situation.
I'm done with my hurting
Declaring the end of enduring emotional pain.
I'll be fine on my own
Asserting independence and confidence in being alone.
