Blair Witch
Yearning Hearts and Bitter Grapes: Surfer Blood's Blair Witch Tale
Lyrics
Reaching for sour grapes
Expressing a desire for something unattainable or undesirable
Reaching for sour grapes
Reiteration of the desire for something unattainable or undesirable
If I can't taste and get my fill
Expressing the need to experience and enjoy something; possibly referring to love or pleasure
Then no one will
Emphasizing a possessive or protective attitude towards the desired experience
If I can't touch, if I can't touch you
Expressing uncertainty and confusion when faced with the inability to connect emotionally
I don't know what to do
Conveying a sense of helplessness or lack of direction when emotional connection is absent
Feels like we're both in love
Perceiving a mutual romantic connection; imagery of marriage and love
Wedding bells ring above
Symbolic reference to a significant commitment or union
And I need love more than anyone
Expressing a deep need for love, positioning oneself as someone deserving of affection
I'm the prodigal son
Identifying with the prodigal son archetype, possibly suggesting a sense of waywardness or seeking redemption
And I need love, but the more I see love
Continuation of the longing for love, acknowledging a growing dependency on it
The more I need love
Reflecting on an increasing craving for love, potentially indicating an addictive or cyclical nature
You reach me unequipped
Describing a vulnerability or unpreparedness to receive emotional connection
For the tenderness you bring
Acknowledging the tenderness offered by someone, despite being unprepared to fully appreciate it
You cannot leave tonight
Stressing the importance of staying together for the moment, possibly due to hidden intentions or feelings
Just to give your disguises away
Warning against revealing true feelings or intentions
All your words of wanting
Highlighting unspoken desires or needs within the context of love
Are somewhere in love's ?
Reference to a mysterious aspect of love or hidden motivations
A powerful tool
Describing love as a powerful tool, possibly with manipulative connotations
A pleasant smile, an excuse for love
Suggesting that a pleasant smile can serve as an excuse for love, implying superficiality
Looked in the mirror today
Reflecting on self-perception and possibly feeling uncomfortable with one's own image
Then I got scared away
Expressing discomfort or fear upon self-reflection
Oh I need love
Reiterating the need for love, suggesting a persistent longing
No affection for my reflection
Lamenting a lack of emotional connection with one's own reflection
Oh I need love
Reemphasizing the intense need for love
'Cause I can't guilt it, never forgive myself
Expressing guilt and an inability to forgive oneself, potentially related to past actions or choices
You reach me unequipped
Repetition of the theme of unpreparedness to receive tenderness
For the tenderness you bring
Acknowledging the tenderness offered, despite being unprepared to fully appreciate it
It tastes like sour ?
Describing a taste or feeling as sour, possibly representing a negative or unpleasant experience
And it feels like a terrible waste
Expressing dissatisfaction or regret about a situation, possibly related to the negative experience mentioned
I'll let you go
Deciding to let go of someone or something
Before you know
Encouraging a departure before true feelings or intentions are revealed
Before you know I was happy on my own
Reflecting on past happiness when alone, suggesting a reluctance to be dependent on others for joy
So when in doubt
Offering advice to avoid burning bridges or causing harm when uncertain
Don't burn 'em out
Warning against overextending or exhausting resources, suggesting self-preservation
There's some things you can live without
Highlighting the importance of discerning between essential and non-essential aspects of life
