Ordinary Girl
Lost Love Chronicles: Embracing Memories and Heartache
Lyrics
Abandoned sandals on the edge of the strand
Abandoned sandals symbolize lost or discarded connection on the shore.
A band of vandals carving hearts in the sand
Vandals carving hearts in the sand suggests destructive actions affecting love.
You got two candles lighting up the wasteland
Two candles lighting up the wasteland may represent futile efforts to find light in desolation.
Too hot to handle and I'll just get burned where I stand
Being "too hot to handle" implies a situation too risky, likely leading to emotional burnout.
And I'll cast into the wind the things we planned
Casting things into the wind signifies letting go of planned aspirations.
And I'll depend on my friends to lend a hand
Depending on friends reflects a need for support in difficult times.
And yet I don't think that they will understand
Doubting friends' understanding of the situation.
I just can't speak, there's too much to say
Struggling to articulate overwhelming feelings.
Once I was laughing, now I'm crying
Transition from laughter to tears, indicating a profound emotional shift.
Once I was living, now I'm dying
Shift from living to a metaphorical dying, possibly representing emotional death.
Thought I had someone I could trust in
Realization of misplaced trust in someone.
Thought it was love but it was just in my head
Discovering that perceived love was imaginary.
Memories comfort me instead
Repetition of memories comforting indicates reliance on the past for solace.
Memories comfort me instead
-Memories comfort me instead
-Memories comfort me instead
-Remember hours blazing many a trail
Recollection of shared experiences and adventures.
Among the flowers, through the sleet and the hail
Mention of facing challenges together in various weather conditions.
While all the others ducked for cover and hid
Contrasting lovers who faced challenges with those who hid.
We were the lovers who discovered and always did
Emphasizing continuous discovery in the relationship.
Was the connection infused between our souls
Raising questions about the authenticity of the connection between souls.
A mere confection you used to seize control?
Suggesting a manipulative element in the relationship.
With no direction we spin into a hole
Feeling lost without direction, spiraling into a negative situation.
Look what it's cost since we lost our way
Reflecting on the cost of losing the way in the relationship.
Once I was laughing, now I'm crying
Repetition of emotional transition from laughter to crying and reliance on memories.
Once I was living, now I'm dying
-Thought I had someone I could trust in
-Thought it was love but it was just in my head
-Memories comfort me instead
-Memories comfort me instead
-Memories comfort me instead
-Memories comfort me (oh yeah)
-The sun was rising through a thicket of trees
Describing a past moment of optimism with the rising sun.
Trailing horizons we were ready to seize
Expressing readiness to seize opportunities on the horizon.
Wasting my destiny in staring at screens
Regretting wasting life staring at screens, possibly a metaphor for lost time.
Taking what's left of me and tearing it at the seams
Describing the tearing apart of one's self.
How can you sleep with the damage that you've done
Questioning the ability to sleep with the damage caused in the relationship.
Knowing I now barely manage to go on
Struggling to manage life after the damage inflicted.
Oh what a dastardly web we both have spun
Describing the tangled web of consequences from actions.
Until I rot I will rue the day
Expressing regret until the end of days.
How do you rectify the wreck of
Questions on rectifying and understanding the rupture in a once prosperous love.
What was a prosperous and true love
-Then in a rupture so abrupt it
-Deftly corrected then corrupted your world?
-She was an ordinary girl (she was an ordinary)
Repetition of the phrase "She was an ordinary girl," possibly emphasizing the normalcy of the person involved.
She was an ordinary girl (she was an ordinary)
-She was an ordinary girl (she was an ordinary)
-She was an ordinary girl
