Crushed Out on Soda Beach
Crushed Dreams and Melancholy Dance: A Love's Desperation
Lyrics
I tried just burning the whole thing to the ground today
The speaker attempted to destroy something significant today.
But decisiveness is such a foreign tenant to my psyche
Decision-making is unfamiliar and challenging for the speaker.
It violently and immediately began to reject it
The attempt to destroy was met with strong resistance.
So I had no choice but to salvage the ravaged remains of our history
Forced to salvage the damaged remnants of a shared history.
I danced with you in a nightmare
Describes a surreal experience of dancing with someone in a nightmare.
I was dragging you across the floor
The speaker was pulling or guiding the other person across the floor.
The radio disrupted by some voyeuristic spirit
An external force, possibly intrusive, disrupts the atmosphere represented by a radio.
I could hardly stand under the weight of my little crush on you
The speaker struggles with the emotional weight of having a crush on the other person.
And you, so limp in my arms, hardly helped
The other person's response to the situation is not very supportive.
So, all that I could do was collapse under you
The speaker is overwhelmed and collapses, unable to handle the situation.
You called my bluff, I love you too much
The other person sees through the speaker's deception and expresses love.
Would you please stay with me?
A plea for the other person to stay with the speaker.
'Cause after all is said and done
An acknowledgment that everything has been said and done.
I want you here, stay with me
The speaker expresses a desire for the other person to stay despite the circumstances.
I showed my hand and I don't give a damn
The speaker reveals their true feelings and doesn't care about the consequences.
Shut the door, stay with me
A request to close the door, emphasizing the urgency of the other person staying.
'Cause after all is said and done
A repetition of the desire for the other person to stay after everything has transpired.
I need you here
An explicit need for the other person's presence despite everything that has happened.
