Diagnosis
Navigating Heartbreak: The Foreign Frame Within
Lyrics
I have a headache, I have a sore back
I am experiencing physical discomfort, both in my head and back.
I have a letter I can't send
I possess a letter that I am unable to send.
I have desire, it falters and falls down
I have a desire that wavers and collapses.
It calls you up drunk at three or four AM
This desire, perhaps love, reaches out to you in a vulnerable state during late-night hours.
To wonder when, wonderful
Reflecting on the past, contemplating when certain actions seemed wonderful.
All the cheap tricks I tried too hard not to pull
Regretting attempts at manipulative or deceitful actions that were consciously avoided.
Pulled along or pulled apart
Feeling torn between being drawn closer and being pulled apart.
The diagnosis of a foreign frame of heart
Describing the diagnosis of experiencing emotions associated with a foreign, unfamiliar state of heart.
I have a story that I'd like to tell you
Expressing a desire to share a narrative, likely personal and imperfect.
It's littered with settings and second takes
This story is filled with various scenes and attempts.
I have a feeling that hums with the street lights
An emotional sense that resonates with the urban environment, lurking beneath the surface.
Hides under ice in always frozen lakes
Emotions buried and preserved, akin to emotions hidden beneath frozen lakes.
My mistake to make you cringe
Admitting a mistake that causes discomfort or embarrassment.
Another greeting like a broken creaky hinge
A greeting that feels awkward and unpleasant, resembling a rusty hinge.
To oil and push or pry apart
Weighing the decision to mend or separate, reflecting on relationships.
The diagnosis of a foreign frame of heart
Reiterating the diagnosis of experiencing emotions associated with an unfamiliar heart condition.
Found a cure for being sure
Claiming to have found a remedy for certainty.
And sure as anything
Expressing confidence in the stated remedy.
I'll smile for my reckoning
Committing to smile in the face of consequences or judgment.
Oil and push, pry apart
Repeating the choice between mending and separating, emphasizing the heart condition diagnosis.
The diagnosis of a foreign frame of heart
Reiterating the diagnosis of experiencing emotions associated with an unfamiliar heart condition.
