Night and Day
Emotional Resonance: A Tale of Love, Pain, and Redemption
Lyrics
I know a girl with cuts on her legs.
The singer knows a girl who has cuts on her legs.
I think that she hates the way she was made, but we never spoke of why they were there,
The girl possibly dislikes or despises something about herself, but they haven't discussed the reason behind the cuts.
I just squeezed them and kissed them 'til we both felt a bit better.
The singer comforted her by holding and kissing the cuts to make them both feel better.
And now I've returned to the town where she dwells,
The singer has returned to the town where the girl lives.
That cold lonely cabin her grandfather built,
Describing a cold, isolated cabin built by the girl's grandfather where she might be secluding herself.
I suppose that's where she's imprisoned herself,
Suggests the girl isolates herself in this cabin, possibly to write without distractions.
To write all those words she's too scared to tell
Implies that the girl writes about things she's afraid to vocalize.
Those sad, short stories of a girl curled up in her shell.
Describes the sad stories the girl writes about a person withdrawn into themselves.
Night and day she tends to her bar.
She works at a bar during both night and day.
She pours the drinks, they pour out their hearts.
She serves drinks to customers who open up about their emotions.
All that sorrow and alcohol weighs hard on her thoughts,
The weight of others' sorrow and alcohol affects her deeply.
So she writes them down, she loves them all.
She copes by writing down these experiences and cares deeply about those sharing their stories.
And when we'd make love she'd stare in my eyes
During intimate moments, she gazes into the singer's eyes.
I swore we had met a thousand times.
The singer feels an intense connection, as if they've met repeatedly in different lives or situations.
Thousands of lives, thousands of nights.
Implies a sense of familiarity in their relationship, as if they've lived many lives together.
She's written of it a thousand times.
Indicates that she has written about their connection numerous times.
Night and day she tends to her bar.
Reiterates her work at the bar throughout day and night.
She pours me a drink for my parched heart.
She serves the singer a drink to alleviate emotional pain.
All my sorrows in alcohol,
Reflects the singer's sorrows, implied to be drowned in alcohol.
She holds up the cup to my cracked lips for a kiss.
She offers the drink as a comfort, symbolically offering solace or relief to the singer's emotional pain.
