Lyrics
Effy I've come to tell you
Expressing the speaker's intention to communicate with Effy.
Freddie, I don't think I can
Effy's response indicating doubt or reluctance.
You can't remember who I am
Effy's inability to recall the speaker's identity.
But I was trying to save you
The speaker attempted to save Effy, suggesting a past connection or relationship.
We don't even speak
Despite not communicating, Effy holds a significant influence over the speaker.
But you're the one I'm a slave to
The speaker feels enslaved by emotions towards Effy.
Forever more than friends
The relationship with Effy is deeper than friendship and defies labels.
Don't need no fucking label
Rejecting the need for societal labels in the relationship.
Spilling million dollar blood
Metaphorically describing intense emotions or sacrifice for Effy.
With a fifty cent razor
Symbolic imagery of significant sacrifice (million dollar blood) with minimal tools (fifty cent razor).
We were supposed to be like Freddie and Effy
Desire for a relationship similar to Freddie and Effy's.
Now you're gone and you tell me I'm not supposed to be jealous
Effy's absence leads to jealousy, questioning the nature of their connection.
A half a milly in a month so how the fuck am I stressing
Monetary success contrasts with emotional distress.
Came a long way from depression, that shit taught me a lesson
Growth and resilience gained from overcoming depression.
I don't remember what went wrong
Uncertainty about the cause of the relationship's deterioration.
But we was probably just young
Attributing issues to youthful mistakes.
Was too in love to be heartless
Too deeply in love to be heartless.
Too heartless to be in love
Paradoxical nature of being both heartless and in love.
Bones pulled out of the skin so they can dry in the sun
Graphic imagery of bones symbolizing emotional vulnerability.
Yeah, I'm sick of being sick. I don't need no one
Desire for independence and self-reliance.
It rained hard for five minutes
Description of a short-lived intense emotional experience.
And the world ceased to move
Symbolic pause or disruption in the world.
Then, just as suddenly as it began
The sudden onset and cessation of a challenging situation.
It was over, so we all forgot
Collective forgetfulness after a transient crisis.
You can't remember who I am
Effy's continued inability to recognize the speaker.
But I was trying to save you
Reiteration of the speaker's attempt to save Effy.
We don't even speak
Despite non-communication, the speaker remains devoted to Effy.
But you're the one I'm a slave to
The speaker feels enslaved by emotions towards Effy.
Forever more than friends
The relationship with Effy is deeper than friendship and defies labels.
Don't need no fucking label
Rejecting the need for societal labels in the relationship.
Spilling million dollar blood
Metaphorically describing intense emotions or sacrifice for Effy.
With a fifty cent razor
Symbolic imagery of significant sacrifice (million dollar blood) with minimal tools (fifty cent razor).
We were supposed to be like Freddie and Effy
Desire for a relationship similar to Freddie and Effy's.
Now you're gone and you tell me I'm not supposed to be jealous
Effy's absence leads to jealousy, questioning the nature of their connection.
A half a milly in a month so how the fuck am I stressing
Monetary success contrasts with emotional distress.
Came a long way from depression, that shit taught me a lesson
Growth and resilience gained from overcoming depression.
So now I've told you, okay
Confirmation of the speaker's communication with Effy.
Now you know
Reiteration of Effy being informed.
