Lyrics
Love was thin thread in the seams
Love was a fragile connection in the conflicts between her harsh words and your tender surrender.
Of her harsh words and your soft defeat.
Despite the fragility of love, it should not be the determining factor in decision-making.
But love need never decide.
Love doesn't always have to be the decisive factor.
Other girls are Styrofoam inside.
Comparing other girls to Styrofoam suggests they may lack depth or genuine emotion.
Empty sidewalk, Empty street.
Describing a deserted sidewalk and street, emphasizing emptiness and solitude.
Walk on weary worried feet.
Walking with a sense of weariness and worry, reflecting a burdensome journey.
Heaven spreads above the trees,
Heaven extends over the trees, setting a celestial backdrop.
You set your woman down.
Putting your partner down, possibly implying separation or ending a relationship.
And you can't recreate the sound
Unable to recreate the familiar sound of home after a separation.
Of home
Reflecting on the intangible essence of home.
Remorse is such a filthy bloodhound
Remorse is likened to a dirty bloodhound, persistently tracking your actions.
Stalks your steps, nose to the ground
Remorse follows closely, with a keen sense of smell.
Your face is cold against the window pane
Your face feels cold against the window pane, evoking a sense of detachment.
Across the fields on endless waving grain
Observing endless waving grain across fields, perhaps symbolizing monotony or vastness.
Will you rust up come the rain?
Wondering if you will deteriorate or lose vitality when faced with challenges (rain).
Will the tears erode your face?
Concerns about tears wearing away at your identity or appearance.
Its a bitter bloody taste!
Describing a bitter and bloody taste, likely metaphorical for the emotional aftermath.
You set your woman down
Repeating the act of putting your partner down, reinforcing separation or loss.
Sink back into the soil.
Sinking back into the soil, possibly symbolizing a return to a natural or basic state.
Let your imagination spoil.
Allowing imagination to spoil, suggesting a negative impact on creativity or optimism.
Combust amongst the toil,
Igniting amidst hardship, possibly alluding to conflict or struggles.
You set your woman down
Repeating the act of putting your partner down, reinforcing separation or loss.
And you can't recreate the sound
Unable to replicate the familiar sound of home after a separation.
Of home
Reflecting once again on the intangible essence of home.
