Lavender
Lavender Whispers: Embracing the Struggle of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
It seems that eventually
Expressing the inevitability of events unfolding over time.
Everyone's got their reason to leave
Everyone has their reasons for leaving, suggesting a universal experience.
There's a tarnishing that creeps up
Describing a gradual deterioration or decay that silently advances.
And threatens to seize everything
The decay poses a threat to everything, possibly alluding to a destructive force.
And you said that
A reference to someone claiming that lavender provides comfort or calmness.
The lavender keeps you at ease
The speaker has not found their own solution or solace.
Well i haven't found my salve
Expressing a search for relief from a troubling situation.
For that mechanized whirring // whirring
Describing a persistent and bothersome mechanical sound.
"It's not worth it"
A dismissive attitude, suggesting the difficulty may not be worth the effort.
That beckoning breaking me down
Referring to a compelling force that is emotionally breaking the speaker down.
Breaking me down
Reiterating the emotional impact of the breaking down process.
I'm alone as I fade through the days
The speaker is experiencing loneliness as time passes.
An irritant like your tv's static plague
Comparing the speaker's state to the irritating static of a television.
I'm unspooling and fetal
Feeling emotionally unravelled and vulnerable.
Upon the kitchen floor
The vulnerability is emphasized by being on the kitchen floor at 3 am.
At 3am; your phantom limb
A metaphorical reference to the absence of a loved one, likened to a phantom limb.
Where you used to hold me
Reflecting on the loss of physical closeness in a relationship.
Now, I have grown into it
Acceptance of the emotional void and growing into it.
With ivy-lattice dissidence
Using ivy-lattice dissidence to symbolize detachment and separation.
That holds up my indifference
The detachment supports the speaker's emotional indifference.
A grimy, sour shell
Describing a grim and sour emotional state.
Internalizing every well-meaning word
Internalizing and processing well-intentioned words in a dissonant manner.
Dissonantly and eventually
Over time, the internalization becomes discordant and starts affecting the speaker.
It starts breaking me down
Reiterating the emotional breakdown as a consequence of internal conflict.
Breaking me down
Continuing the theme of emotional deterioration and vulnerability.
I wish i knew how
Expressing a desire to understand how to avoid internal conflict.
To not be at odds
Feeling in conflict with oneself and seeking resolution.
With myself
Highlighting the internal struggle and discord within the speaker.
Imagine how that would sound!
An invitation to imagine a harmonious state without internal conflict.
That would sound
Reiterating the idea of a harmonious state and its positive sound.
