Camera Obscura – My Maudlin Career Lyrics 12 years ago
I felt this song deserved an explanation of what I see they are trying to portrait

First of 'maudlin' is a person who is self pity , a sentimental person who often get like that thru alcohol



Now,... I feel this song is about an old love reunited! They meet again but in between it all she realizes she sees sadness in her ex's eyes sees so much pain and can't comprehend why that persons held so much inside over the years and realizes that same ego that broke them years ago still exist snd will not do her any good to go back to someone who never changed and truly broke her inside.

S used to turn to which was once used to forget her ex then began to be a problem because that was the only thing that would bring her back to happy moments and was the only closure she had to her past for some time

But this time deep down inside she doesn't want to go back to 'sadness, depression,and being seen as a soft broken hearted soul

She doesn't want to go back to drinking her eyes shut
She decides to stop being a sad drunk and move on because a love as hurtful as the one she had will only make her loose her mind and depress her.


Beautiful song. My first time narrating what I feel the song portrays
