| The Lumineers – Morning Song Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I believe this song is about the endlessly sinking feeling of a good hearted guy who just cant seem to understand how objective this girl he loves is. She told him it was love, probably that he was her one and only, a soulmate. But when times got tough, she bailed and so he knows she would've never stayed. There's a slow acceptance that starts with the head and wanders toward his heart, that nothing gold can stay. He's a hopeless romantic and believes in true love and this has jaded him. As he goes through the stages of acceptance, he's first sorry for himself and sad and then it begins to turn to frustration and anger, as he begins to imagine his one true love sleeping with someone else and sharing everything he said would always be his. He feels so cheated and replaceable. Like it was all a hoax, and his hands begin to shake and bitterness is all he tastes. He's in more pain than he cares to cope with so his car won't stop because he cut the brakes. In spite of all of this, he holds on to his faith that she will one day get what she gave. That one day, she will actually mean the words she speaks and when she gives herself over to love, he hopes that her love leaves her the way she left him. |
