Limerence
Limerence Unveiled: Love's Silent Warfare and Shattered Past
Lyrics
Your love is violent
Your love is intense and powerful
Your love is like a fired gun
Love is compared to a fired gun, suggesting it's impactful
Heavy and silent, so silent
Love is weighty and silent, possibly hinting at hidden struggles
Before what it's done
Anticipation before the consequences of love become clear
I know I cannot stay here any longer
The realization that staying in the relationship is no longer possible
I knew long ago
Awareness of the situation for a while
It's over, still I'm waiting like a soldier
Despite knowing it's over, waiting for the final end
For the final blow
Waiting for the inevitable conclusion
Hold you, let me
Repeated plea to hold on to the relationship
Hold you, let me
-Hold you, let me
-Hold you, let me
-What lovers, what lovers we were
Reflecting on the past relationship
What lovers we were when there were carpets of grass
Describing a time of happiness and unity
Then something shattered and it all went so awry
Something went wrong, causing a drastic change
We couldn't make it a mile for all the pieces of glass
Unable to move forward due to the shattered pieces
There's nothing for me out there
Nothing awaits outside of the relationship
Nothing, not even the sun
No hope or warmth even from the sun
The moment I step out the door
Loss of positivity when stepping out
And look up to the sky it's gone
Reference to the disappearance of happiness
Sometimes a light gets through
Occasional glimpses of the past happiness
And I remember how it was before
Recalling better times
Like there was something else ahead
Nostalgia for a future that seemed promising
I can't quite make out anymore
Uncertainty about the future
Hold you, let me
Repeating the plea to hold on, suggesting desperation
Hold you, let me
-Hold you, let me
-Hold you, let me
-Dead, it's dead, it's dead, it's dead
Emphasis on the end of something
It's not dying anymore
Highlighting the finality of a relationship
The roots of our land never grow
Symbolic stagnation, no growth or progress
The seasons don't pass by our window
Isolation, no connection with the outside world
Say it, say it, say it
Expressing the finality of the situation
Say it aloud, we're nevermore
Acknowledging the end of the relationship
Together let's each put on a glove
A joint effort to bury the past and move on
And bury the bones of our dead love
Metaphorically letting go of the remnants of the relationship
What lovers we were when there were carpets of grass
Reiteration of the happiness lost in the relationship
Carpets of grass
Emphasizing the loss with "Carpets of grass"
What lovers we were
Reflecting on the past love and its impact
