don't go back to new york
Lost in Love's Lament: A Melancholic Ode to Heartbreak by Zach Palmer
Lyrics
Who am I without you
Identity crisis without the person in question.
I'm just a kid with a complex lost in my mind
Feeling like a confused individual with a complex mind.
Pray to the man on the moon
Expressing a desire or plea, possibly for guidance.
Hoping you're looking at the craters at the same time
Hoping for a connection despite physical distance.
Just like the summer you never stay
Notable for fleeting relationships or moments.
And with September you take my heart
Associating heartbreak with the month of September.
Now There's a sadness in LA
Referring to a sense of melancholy in Los Angeles.
And with every thread you rip apart
Emphasizing emotional pain caused by separation.
Don't go back to New York
Advising against returning to New York.
If you don't want to kill me
Suggesting potential harm if the return occurs.
There's no angels
Rejecting the idea of divine intervention.
Shooting arrows
Symbolizing love troubles with arrows metaphor.
Through you into me
Describing the impact of romantic challenges.
Who are you without me
Questioning the significance of the person apart.
Do you hate every word that rhymes with my name
Wondering if the person despises anything related.
You pray to forget me
Highlighting efforts to forget and move on.
I'm just a glitch in a memory, a passing face
Being a transient memory, easily forgotten.
Just like the summer you never stay
Repeating the theme of short-lived summers.
And with September you take my heart
Connecting heartbreak again to the month of September.
Now there's a sadness in LA
Reflecting a pervasive sadness in Los Angeles.
And with every thread you rip apart
Stressing the emotional damage caused by separation.
Don't go back to New York
Reiterating the advice to avoid returning to New York.
If you don't want to kill me
Warning against potential harm in returning.
There's no angels
Reinforcing the absence of divine assistance.
Shooting arrows
Symbolizing the negative impact of love with arrows.
Through you into me
Expressing the personal toll of romantic challenges.
Don't go back to New York
Repeating the advice against returning to New York.
If you don't want to kill me
Reiterating the potential harm in returning.
There's no angels
Reaffirming the absence of divine intervention.
Shooting arrows
Reemphasizing the symbolic harm caused by love.
Through you into me
Stressing the personal impact of romantic challenges.
Just like the summer you never stay
Recalling the theme of fleeting summers.
And with September you take my heart
Connecting heartbreak to the month of September once more.
Now There's a sadness in LA
Reiterating the pervasive sadness in Los Angeles.
And with every thread you rip apart
Reaffirming the emotional damage caused by separation.
Don't go back to New York
Repeating the advice against returning to New York.
If you don't want to kill me
Reiterating the potential harm in returning.
There's no angels
Reaffirming the absence of divine intervention.
Shooting arrows
Reemphasizing the symbolic harm caused by love.
Through you into me
Stressing the personal toll of romantic challenges.
