Cold Days from the Birdhouse
Echoes of Ruined Plans: The Twilight Sad's Melancholic Symphony
Lyrics
Another hotel with ruined plans
Facing disappointment in another hotel, plans disrupted.
Romantic gesture with ruined plans
A gesture intended to be romantic, but plans are ruined.
And so you make it your own
Adapting and claiming ownership of the situation.
But this is where your arm can't go
Limitation or obstacle where one's arm cannot reach.
You make it your own
Reasserting control and ownership despite limitations.
Another phone call with ruined plans
Experiencing disrupted plans in another phone call.
Romantic gesture with ruined plans
Similar romantic gesture with plans again disrupted.
And so you make it your own
Claiming and making the situation one's own despite setbacks.
But this is where your arm can't go
Highlighting the same limitation where the arm can't reach.
You make it your own
Continuing to assert control despite limitations.
But this is where your arm can't go
Reiterating the limitation where the arm cannot go.
And your red sky at night won't follow me
The promise of a pleasant evening sky doesn't affect the speaker.
It won't follow me now
Emphasizing that the promised beauty won't impact the speaker.
I won't wear your shoes
Refusing to step into someone else's shoes.
And I won't clip your wings
Rejecting influence and control, not allowing wings to be clipped.
I see it when you lied, we all look so surprised
Observing deception, expressing collective surprise.
And will you come back? Will you come back?
Questioning if the person will return after deception.
And breathing in smoke signs like a puppet told to drive
Noting the impact of deceptive signals, like a puppet instructed to drive.
And will you come back? Will you come back?
Asking again if the person will return despite deceptive signs.
And your red sky at night won't follow me
Repeating the indifference to a promised beautiful evening sky.
It won't follow me now
Reiterating that the promised beauty won't affect the speaker.
And your red sky at night won't follow me
Further emphasizing the speaker's immunity to the promised beauty.
It won't follow me now
Continuing to reject the influence of the promised beauty.
And your red sky at night won't follow me
Persistently asserting independence from the promised beauty.
It won't follow me now
Stating that the promised beauty won't follow the speaker.
And your red sky at night won't follow me
Reiterating that the promised beauty won't affect the speaker.
You won't follow me now
Affirming that the promised beauty won't follow the speaker.
And where are your manners?
Repeating the question about the absence of manners, expressing frustration and seeking an answer.
So where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-So where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-So where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-So where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-And where are your manners?
-So where are your manners?
-So where are your manners?
Continuing to demand an explanation for the absence of manners.
