Caught You Like a Cold
Unveiling Hidden Pains: Caught You Like a Cold by Vendetta Red
Lyrics
Hey, I am sure to fall this time around
Anticipation of a fall or failure.
And I could look you in the eye
Ability to confront or face a situation directly.
But you never show your face
Unwillingness or inability of the person being addressed to reveal themselves.
Something sticky in your ears turned to logic
Some ideas or influences that were initially emotional have become rational or logical.
And what you reiterate is meaningless to me
Repetition of certain ideas or statements lacks significance for the speaker.
Save yourself because you're dying slowly
Encouraging the person to save themselves from a slow deterioration or decline.
Say goodnight before you ever say goodbye
Suggesting the importance of saying goodnight before ending a relationship.
Tore the buttons off your coat
Symbolic act of removing protective elements, possibly making oneself vulnerable.
To keep the wind out
Metaphorical action to protect oneself from external influences.
Held a candle to the sun
Symbolic act of challenging or opposing powerful forces.
To drown the twilight
Attempting to overcome a dark or challenging period.
But when you bruise
Not showing vulnerability even when hurt.
You never bleed,
Indicating emotional resilience or suppression of pain.
No, you never cry out
Emphasizing strength by not expressing pain audibly.
Strong,
Encouraging resilience and fortitude in the face of challenges.
Carry on,
Requesting to continue despite difficulties.
Carry me home
Asking for support or assistance to return home.
Serve your flesh circuts unkown
Referring to unknown and mysterious aspects of one's own being.
Stitches sewn to leave me alone
Desire for isolation or solitude through self-inflicted wounds.
Crane your neck till I crawl
Asking the person to lower themselves until the speaker can move forward.
Does it make you sick?
Questioning if the speaker's actions evoke discomfort or repulsion.
The smell of daddy's sweat
Evoking sensory memories related to a father figure.
The taste of daddy's spit
Evoking visceral memories related to a father figure.
Crawl, blood in, blood out
Symbolizing a commitment or initiation with a strong, possibly dangerous, association.
