Slow Leak
Unraveling Love's Slow Leak
Lyrics
Who can say they haven't changed And believe that is the truth
Reflecting on personal change and the challenge of accepting it as the truth.
Everyone wins and loses no matter What they do
Acknowledging the inevitability of both winning and losing in life.
Todays not the same as yesterday, all We have is now and that perfectly Okay
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present, accepting it as satisfactory.
You can wish in one hand and shit in The other and see which one fills up
Using a metaphor to express the futility of wishful thinking without tangible action.
She said he was a keeper then found Out he was down on his luck
Describing a relationship where initial perceptions were misleading, discovering the partner's misfortune.
It was his diplomat, his dignitary, he Wasn't the man that she wanted to marry
Highlighting a mismatch in expectations within a relationship.
All was lost until the dogs bone was Buried
Suggesting a turning point or resolution after a significant event (dog's bone being buried).
I want to know what love is
Expressing a desire to understand the nature of love.
I want you to blow me
Using provocative language to express a desire for intimacy.
I know what love is
Contrasting the desire to know love with a claim of already understanding it.
It's a slow leak
Defining love as a gradual, unnoticed loss or emotional drain.
Well here we are, and here were not
Expressing a sense of confusion or uncertainty about the current situation.
Time has passed and that's all we've Got
Acknowledging the passage of time as the only constant.
Nothing much has changed, nothing Much is learned
Stating that little has changed and that the lessons learned are minimal.
Except for the hell that we pay
Recognizing the high cost of certain experiences.
And that is honestly earned
Asserting that the price paid for those experiences is genuinely earned.
I want to know what love is
Reiterating the desire to understand love, possibly in a different context.
I want you to blow me
Rephrasing the desire for intimacy using provocative language.
I know what love is
Repeating the claim of already knowing what love is, maintaining a contradiction.
It's a slow leak
Reaffirming the concept that love is a gradual, unnoticed loss or emotional drain.
You say you want to try again, but We both know the truth
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of rekindling a relationship, acknowledging the truth.
There's nothing left to gain, and Nothing left to lose
Asserting that there is nothing to gain or lose in attempting to revive the relationship.
We can bury our heads in the sands Of the past
Suggesting a tendency to avoid facing the consequences of past actions or decisions.
But that won't wash away this bed of Broken glass
Metaphorically describing a situation as a painful and irreversible consequence (bed of broken glass).
I want to know what love is
Repeating the desire to understand love, possibly emphasizing the persistence of the quest.
I want you to blow me
Rephrasing the desire for intimacy with provocative language, maintaining a consistent theme.
I know what love is
Reiterating the claim of already knowing what love is, in line with previous statements.
It's a slow leak
Reaffirming the concept that love is a gradual, unnoticed loss or emotional drain, concluding the lyrics.
