Trust
The Demise of Love and Trust: The Weather Station's Poetic Reflection
Lyrics
Dim the lights and draw the curtains
Prepare for a private, intimate moment by dimming the lights and closing the curtains.
This is the end of love
Signifying the conclusion of a romantic relationship or love.
Ready all your arguments
Get ready with your arguments or defenses.
This is the end of trust
Declaring the end of trust within the relationship.
Send out all the witnesses
Summon all potential witnesses to observe the situation.
Let nobody watch
Ensure there are no onlookers or spectators.
Let there be no more words spilled at the ending of what
Advocate for silence and no further discussion as a significant relationship concludes.
Was it time we had?
Reflecting on whether the time spent together was meaningful or wasted.
Bring me all the evidence
Collect and present all evidence related to the relationship.
The baskets of wild roses
List various symbols of love and beauty, emphasizing the importance of what has been cherished.
The crumpled petals and misshapen heads of reeds and rushes
-The bodies of the common birds, robins, crows, and thrushes
-Everything that I have loved
-And all the light touches
-While we still have time
Highlighting the urgency to appreciate and acknowledge the positive aspects while there is still time.
I watch your eyes pass over me
Describing a vulnerable state during a divorce, wanting to reveal emotional depth and sensitivity.
Holding stupidly, everything I wanted you to see
-In the throes of this divorce, in this court proceedings
-For some reason my mind was filled with all my softest feelings
-All the hidden wounded gentle places of my body
-I wanted to bear my skin to the grass
-In generosity, while we still have time
Expressing a desire for generosity and openness despite the challenging circumstances, emphasizing the limited time.
When everybody's talking
Acknowledging external conversations and distractions while struggling with internal conflicts about what's important.
And I know it's important
-And I should pay attention
-And I know it's important
-And I
-Dim the lights and draw the curtains
Repeating the initial actions, suggesting a cyclical nature, and reiterating the finality of love and trust.
This is the end of love
-Ready all your arguments
-This is the end of trust
-Send out all the witnesses
-Let nobody watch
-Let there be no more words spilled at the ending of what
Advocating for a cessation of words and discussions at the conclusion of the relationship.
