Navigating Love's Turbulence: Slinky by Silence & Light
Lyrics
Into another day
Beginning another day
Bored, no guitar to play
Feeling uninterested, lacking a guitar to play
Reached for somebody else
Seeking connection or comfort from someone else
Cause I can't stand myself
Disliking oneself, needing distraction from self
Always seems I'm so lonely
Consistently feeling isolated and alone
Can you care if you're gone all the time
Asking if someone cares despite their absence
We swore matrimony
Previously made a commitment or promise to be together for life
We can do this thing part-time
Suggesting the relationship might be pursued casually or intermittently
And you were so far away
Referring to the distance between two individuals
I needed something strange
Seeking something different or unfamiliar
What is the price to pay
Questioning the cost of an aimless or unfulfilling existence
For living life in vain
Wondering about the consequences of living without purpose
In pain
Emphasizing the experience of emotional distress
Woke to another day
Starting another day without significant change
Still haven't changed my ways
Continuing with familiar behaviors despite wanting to change
A drink will numb the pain
Using alcohol to numb emotional pain linked to memories
Of faces from past days
Struggling with memories of people from the past
You're the only
Expressing a focus on one particular person
One I've had on my mind
Constantly thinking about a specific individual
Try to be better for me
Encouraging oneself or another to improve for personal growth
Or do we need more
Uncertain if improvement is necessary or if there's a need for more
I can't see
Unable to perceive or understand the situation clearly
I won't see
Refusing to see or acknowledge something
I'm losing
Experiencing a loss of something significant or valuable
What's in front of me
Being unaware or blind to what's directly in front
You can't see
Others unable to see or understand the situation
You won't see
Others unwilling to acknowledge or comprehend
You're losing Too
Others experiencing loss or difficulties
And you were so far away
Reflecting on the distance between two individuals
I needed something strange
Seeking something different or unfamiliar
What is the price to pay
Questioning the cost of an aimless or unfulfilling existence
For living life in vain
Wondering about the consequences of living without purpose
Will we always be lonely
Contemplating perpetual loneliness despite a love that's been damaged over time
A true love ruined in time
Expressing regret for not meeting halfway in a failed love
Should have met with me halfway
Suggesting a missed opportunity for compromise or understanding in the relationship
