Love's Battlefield: Decoding The Odd Eights' Ghosted
Lyrics
The last time that we spoke was great
The speaker recalls a positive past conversation or interaction.
You twirled your hair
Describes a specific action or gesture the person made (twirling their hair).
But now you're ghostin' me away
Expresses feeling ignored or avoided by the person now.
How is that fair
Questions the fairness of the situation, feeling it's unjust.
I've been dropping hints like bombs away
The speaker has been dropping hints or signals to convey their feelings.
But your heart is a bunker
Metaphorically describes the person's emotional defenses as impenetrable.
And your love is a battleship on the bay
Compares the person's love to a strong, fortified battleship, difficult to approach.
And I'm going under
Feeling overwhelmed or overpowered emotionally.
Who said that love can't fade away
Questioning the commonly held belief that love doesn't fade.
I'd call them a liar
Disputing or disagreeing with those who claim love doesn't diminish.
I wish that I could call ya babe
Expresses a desire to reach out affectionately but feels unable to.
Or kill my desire
Expresses a wish to suppress their longing or feelings.
I've been dropping hints like bombs away
Reiteration of trying to communicate feelings indirectly.
But your heart is a bunker
Repeats the analogy of the person's heart being emotionally guarded.
And your love is a battleship on the bay
Reiterates the strength and inaccessibility of the person's love.
And I'm going under
Re-emphasizes the feeling of being emotionally overwhelmed or submerged.
The kiss we shared while music played
Recalls a special moment shared between the speaker and the person.
Was special my dear
Acknowledges the significance of the past but recognizes it's been disregarded.
But now you've tossed that memory away
Expresses the person's dismissal or disregard of a meaningful memory.
You've made it clear
Indicates the person's clear indication of moving on or ending things.
I've been dropping hints like bombs away
Repeated attempts to convey feelings indirectly.
But your heart is a bunker
Reiterates the metaphor of emotional defenses being impenetrable.
And your love is a battleship on the bay
Repeats the comparison of the person's love being unapproachable.
And I'm going under
Reinforces the feeling of being overwhelmed or overpowered emotionally.
