Soft Focus
Soft Focus: Navigating Love's Disarray Through Melodic Chaos
Lyrics
No point in adding to the sad romantic canon
No desire to contribute to the collection of sad romantic songs.
The melodies are dull and the rhymes are pretty dismal
Criticizing the uninspiring melodies and lackluster rhymes of such songs.
Anyway, I was never good at writing love songs
Expressing a personal difficulty in crafting love songs.
You know I'd rather keep the happy songs in hymnals
Preferencing cheerful songs over melancholic ones.
But lately I've been stuck inside a sequence
Describing a period of confusion and continuous uncertainty.
Of disorienting blur and so far, it's never-ending
Feeling disoriented with no apparent end to the confusion.
You know I'm used to coloring in these sharp, jagged lines
Accustomed to dealing with clear, defined boundaries, but this emotion spills over.
But this feeling seems to spill on over everything
The described feeling affects everything in one's life.
Don't think that I can't recognize the patterns
Aware of recurring patterns but feeling helpless to prevent them.
There's a spark, and then it starts, and then the whole thing falls apart
Recognition of a pattern: a spark, a start, and eventual collapse.
Until the only thing left certain
Highlighting the certainty of clichéd failures and endings.
Clichéd collapses, closing curtains
Emphasizing the predictable nature of collapses and conclusions.
But lately I've been cutting this to pieces
Recent attempts to dissect and understand the situation.
Looking hard at every angle to defend this
Examining every aspect to justify or protect the situation.
Just pull the filters off the lenses
Suggesting a need to remove filters and see things clearly.
'Cause right now all it does is blend into
Current perspective is blending into a blurry and unclear state.
Soft focus
Introduction of the recurring theme: everything dissolving into soft focus.
Soft focus
Reiteration of the concept of soft focus.
Well they say that when Samson met Delilah
Reference to the biblical story of Samson and Delilah.
There was fire, there was passion, there were sexy mullet haircuts
Describing the intense emotions and passionate events in the story.
You know it ended on a sour note
Highlighting a negative turn in the story with violence and despair.
A little violence and despair but
Reflecting on uncertainties and doubts about the recurrence of such events.
You know I'm not sure if that kind of thing still happens
If such events happen, the narrator is unaware or indifferent.
And if it does, well I never seem to notice
Acknowledging a personal involvement leading to a scene dissolving into soft focus.
But I know whenever you're involved
Whenever the narrator is involved, the entire scene blurs into soft focus.
Well the whole scene dissolves into
Reiterating the idea of dissolution into soft focus when the narrator is present.
Soft focus
Continuation of the recurring theme: everything dissolving into soft focus.
Soft focus
Final repetition of the concept of soft focus.
