Lyrics
Red is bled
Red symbolizes bleeding or emotional pain.
Petals blue
Petals blue may represent fragile or fading aspects of love.
And in my sleepless head
The speaker is unable to find peace in their thoughts.
Our love's been dead a week or two
The love between the speaker and the other person has ended recently.
Sometimes, good times are stuck inside of you
Positive experiences are trapped within, not easily accessible.
And they're gone
Those good times are gone.
But I don't know why
The speaker is uncertain about the reasons for the breakup.
A lot of things have changed since we said goodbye
Many changes have occurred since the parting.
There were reasons for you to love me
The speaker acknowledges their failure to provide reasons for love.
But I gave you none
The speaker recognizes their shortcomings in the relationship.
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
The speaker raises a glass, contemplating the past.
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
The speaker wonders about the romantic connections of the ex-partner.
So time's just time
Time is just time; it doesn't heal or change things.
Cars can't escape
Cars are unable to escape, possibly symbolizing the inescapability of fate or memories.
Clouds are grey and close
The atmosphere is heavy with sadness.
Not often, too far away
Proximity is rare; things are not often too far away.
And blue has no value, power, or hue
Blue, usually a color of depth, has lost significance.
Or open skies, relationless
Open skies lack connection, representing a relationship without ties.
Carelessness is what I miss and that's how I think of you
The speaker misses carefree moments and associates them with the ex-partner.
Sometimes, good times were all we had to do
Good times were the essence of the relationship.
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
Reflecting on the past, the speaker taps their glass again.
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
Continued speculation about the ex-partner's current relationships.
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
Repetition of tapping the glass and pondering the ex-partner's rhythms.
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
Reiteration of the contemplation about the ex-partner's current romantic involvements.
