Hologram
Love Lost in Holograms: A Tale of Disconnection
Lyrics
Yeah the way that you're broken, you're the perfect fit
Expressing that the broken nature of the person is a perfect match for the speaker.
Put your hand in mine, complete the circuit
Inviting the listener to join in, creating a connection or completing a meaningful bond.
You can see the light come on behind my eyes
Suggesting transparency or openness, revealing emotions or thoughts through the eyes.
We can share my heart to keep us both alive
Proposing a mutual sharing of emotions to sustain both individuals.
I cut myself apart to make the pieces fit
Metaphorically describing self-sacrifice to fit into a relationship.
Disfigure me until I'm perfect
Implies a willingness to undergo changes to achieve an ideal state.
We can share our skin until we forget
Suggesting an intense level of intimacy where boundaries blur.
Where one of us ends and the other begins
Describing a deep connection that challenges the distinction between individuals.
The shape of you moves through my hands
Physical and emotional connection, feeling the essence of the other person.
We fell in love with holograms
Reflecting on falling in love with illusions or unreal aspects.
I reach for you but I can't feel
Expressing an inability to perceive the other person physically.
These memories were never real
Acknowledging that certain memories and experiences were never genuine.
You were the sun in my sky, the light is moving away
Describing a significant person who brought light but is now fading away.
The shadow that it casts of me is changing shape
The influence of the fading light, possibly representing changing perceptions of self.
The light starts to fade and now I'm afraid
Expressing fear and uncertainty as the light fades.
I'm not a person, I'm not a person
Denying a sense of personhood, possibly due to the impact of the relationship.
You got me again, you're not what you seem
Realizing deception or hidden aspects in the person.
Someone wake me up another bad dream
Feeling trapped in a recurring nightmare.
I stay awake with my head in my hands
Struggling with self-awareness and existential questions late at night.
I'm up at 2am wondering who I am
Insomnia-driven introspection on identity and purpose.
You turned me into something that I never really wanted to be
Regretting the transformation into something undesirable caused by the relationship.
And now I'm having so much trouble remembering
Difficulty in recalling the negative impact of the relationship.
What you did to me, I'm not a human being
Feeling dehumanized by the actions of the other person.
No remorse, no emotion, I became a machine
Describing a loss of empathy and emotional capacity, becoming robotic.
The shape of you moves through my hands
Reiteration of the physical and emotional connection, despite the negative consequences.
We fell in love with holograms
Revisiting the theme of falling in love with illusions.
I reach for you but I can't feel
Continuing to reach out emotionally despite the inability to feel the other person.
These memories were never real
Reiterating that certain memories were never authentic.
The sun stopped shining, I need your electricity
Expressing a need for the energy or vitality that the other person provided.
You turned me into a monster, I became a machine
Acknowledging a negative transformation into a monstrous, machine-like entity.
I tried to make you human, so I gave you my heart
Attempting to make the other person more human by giving them the speaker's heart.
When you leave my arms, my eyes go dark
Highlighting the darkness and emotional void left when the other person departs.
