Obsolete Majesty: Nostalgic Reflections on Lost Love
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Headphones on and out the door

Preparing to leave, isolating oneself with music

You don’t want me anymore

The speaker is no longer desired by someone

Seems like you forgot why you did before

Reflecting on the forgotten reasons for the past desire


Sneaking under stranger’s sheets

Engaging in intimate encounters with strangers

You leave no marks on concrete streets

No visible impact on the outside world

The heart does not grieve over what the eyes don’t see

Emphasizing emotional detachment from hidden actions


Obsolete majesty

Describing a once significant and powerful presence

Come over me

Feeling the influence or impact of the past majesty

Like when I was thirteen

Recalling a time of innocence and vulnerability

And break the cogs off my machine

Requesting a disruption to the speaker's routine


Netflix on to pass the time

Using entertainment to pass the time

Sneaking into stranger’s minds

Exploring the thoughts of others through media

It soothes the soul that dreams of magic carpet rides

Finding solace in fantasies and dreams


You fool yourself you feel just fine

Deluding oneself into believing everything is fine

But silent signs of our decline

Unseen signs revealing a hidden decline

Reveal the truth of what’s behind your shallow smile

Exposing the truth behind a superficial smile


Obsolete majesty

Repeating the description of a once powerful presence

Come over me

Feeling the return of the past majesty

Like when I was thirteen

Recalling a vulnerable age and requesting a fiery disruption

And pour some gasoline in my machine

Symbolic act of intensifying the disruption


If only in my dreams

Yearning for a certain scenario, possibly unrealistic

If only it just seems

Questioning the authenticity or reality of the yearning


Headphones on and out the door

Repeating the opening scene, indicating a cycle

You don’t love me anymore

Reiteration of no longer being loved

Seems like you forgot

Reiterating the forgotten reasons for the lack of love


Obsolete majesty

Repeating the description of a once significant presence

Come over me

Feeling the impact or influence of the past majesty

Like when I was thirteen

Recalling a time of innocence and vulnerability

Obsolete majesty

Repeating the description of a once powerful presence

Come over me

Feeling the return of the past majesty

Like when I was thirteen

Recalling a vulnerable age and desiring a fiery disruption

And pour some gasoline in my machine

Symbolic act of intensifying the disruption
