| The Irrepressibles – In This Shirt Lyrics | 12 years ago |

"lost in our rainbow" I think it signifies how he was consumed in the peaceful bliss and his life was truly vivid and colorful and without this person he is lost. It's as if part of him has died because you no longer have the beauty and warmth of the rainbow to assure that everything is okay. Then he goes on to say "overcast by your shadow" meaning that no matter where he goes, he thinks of this person, he sees this person and time and location don't affect how he feels. However, once he puts this shirt on he has that sense of feeling whole again and with the one he lost. It's about the the sad nostalgia that devours you when you lose someone. "the crane", I assume is the obstacles that have resulted in there own destruction. Probably my favorite line is "There's a thorn, in my side, it's the shame, it's the pride..." He still feels the pain that he can not easily remove and it all due to two different feelings. One of shame, because now everything that has been lost is out of control and pride because how far do we go until we finally decide to stop sacrificing in order to be happy, yet the happiness was a result of being with the other person. It's the irony he must face. This is sad where we see change not being something desired by him. No matter how they 'move on' he thinks about this person every day and with so much pain because all he wants is for things to return. His memories become his enemy because they haunt him with these sad feelings of remorse and emptiness. He is almost numb because he has endured so much. So fucking upsetting, but I think every person goes through this in there life and our experiences are what make us appreciate all we do have. That's it for me. |
