Pastel
Painted Pastel: Love's Hue in Melancholy Melodies
Lyrics
I remember when
Reflecting on a past time
We were just friends
Recalling a friendship
We would sit around and smoke cigars
Engaging in leisurely activities, possibly nostalgic
Till they end
Continuing a relaxed moment until it naturally concludes
Then came the day
Transitioning to a significant event
We did more than play
Shifting from friendship to a more intimate connection
I still can't believe
Expressing disbelief at the consequences
The price that I paid
Regretting the high cost of the choices made
Ooooh
Expressing emotional distress
This, just ain't the blues
Rejecting the notion that it's just a typical blues situation
Cause my hell
Describing personal torment
Is painted pastel
Conveying the unique and subtle nature of the suffering (pastel)
Ooooh
Reiteration of the emotional pain
This, just ain't the blues
Reemphasizing that it's not a conventional blues scenario
Cause my hell
Reiterating the personal anguish
Is painted pastel
Stressing the nuanced, gentle quality of the suffering (pastel)
So now I spend my days
Describing the current daily struggle
Trying to write away
Attempting to cope through writing
These thoughts of you
Expressing difficulty in conveying feelings about the person
What more can I say
Acknowledging the limitations of words
The records on repeat
Using music to cope with emotions
Amy sings out to me
Referencing a specific song by Amy
Oh, love is blind
Noting the blindness of love
I wish this were a fuckin dream
Expressing a desire for the situation to be unreal
Ooooh
Reiteration of emotional distress
This, just ain't the blues
Rejecting the conventional blues label for the situation
Cause my hell
Describing personal torment
Is painted pastel
Emphasizing the unique and subtle nature of the suffering (pastel)
Ooooh
Reiteration of the emotional pain
This, just ain't the blues
Reemphasizing that it's not a conventional blues scenario
Cause my hell
Reiterating the personal anguish
Is painted pastel
Stressing the nuanced, gentle quality of the suffering (pastel)
