Lyrics
You say goodnight
You express farewell
With shrines not lullabies
Choosing symbols of devotion over soothing songs
Sing out their songs
Others vocalize their tunes
But i’ll get the words wrong
I, however, may not articulate them correctly
Voices too loud
Noise overwhelms, my voice remains silent
Mine won’t make a sound
My voice is unheard
And it’s anecdoche
Referencing anecdotes with hearts too open
Hearts too large for sleeves
Hearts vulnerable and exposed
It’s in bad faith that we--
Engaging in insincere actions
Songs of bitter things
Lyrics touch on painful subjects
It’s uneasy listening
The music is discomforting to the ears
The thoughts you must stow
Concealing thoughts and emotions
Oh rosemary told me so
Referring to advice from someone named Rosemary
And it’s fragility
Fragile state of being
It’s a drowning machine
Comparing life to a suffocating mechanism
It’s in bad faith that we--
Engaging in insincere actions
Oh the bridges we burn
Reflecting on past mistakes
May they light the way
Hoping lessons learned from burning bridges guide us
Oh the hatred in turn
Addressing the negativity and resentment
Hands remember (x4)
Physical actions retain memories
I just want to be (x3)
Expressing a desire for authenticity
Be
Emphasizing the need to exist genuinely
More (x4)
Yearning for increased authenticity and depth
