Brown Boxes
Unpacking Heartbreak: The Hidden Meaning Behind 'Brown Boxes'
Lyrics
I've got this notion
I have a feeling or belief
That moving out is better
Leaving is a better option
Than this commotion
Than dealing with this chaos
If she complains I won't let her
If she complains, I won't allow it
Tell me what to do
Advise me on what actions to take
And if she wants to argue
If she wants to argue
I'll remind her that were through
I'll remind her that our relationship is over
A late reminder
A belated reminder
And Post-it notes and marker
Post-it notes and marker
Were it not kinder
If it were not kinder
Her black eye would be darker
Her black eye would be even darker (suggesting violence)
And all these brown boxes
All these brown boxes
Haven't helped me move one bit
Have not assisted me in moving
In half empty rooms they sit
They sit in rooms that are only partially filled
Stay that's where they will stay
They will remain where they are
I could never say
I could never express
I would never say, "This is over"
I would never say that "This is over"
I've got this cupid
I have this cupid (symbolic of love)
Humble from woolen sacket
Humble from a woolen jacket
It's pretty stupid but nonetheless I'll pack it
It's pretty foolish, but I'll still pack it
And this box cutter?s too dull
The box cutter is too dull
Other wise I'd end it all
Otherwise, I might end everything
There's still boxes in the hall
There are still boxes in the hall
And stay, that's where they will stay
They will stay where they are
I could never place any other blame
I could never blame anyone else
And how could you even go
How could you continue living
On living if it's so unintentional? I'd like to know
If it's so unintentional? I'd like to know
