The Irrepressibles – In This Shirt Lyrics 2 years ago
I am lost in a rainbow
Now our rainbow is gone
Overcast by your shadow
As our worlds move on

this is a gay couple in a rainbow of love that is now lost. worlds move on with possible death or separation. The unbearable sadness of worlds that were once united so much so as if they were lost in a rainbow, but now lost because that rainbow world is gone.

In this shirt, I can be you
To be near you for a while
In this shirt, I can be you
To be near you for a while

He wears the shirt in order to recapture the feelings and the world.

There's a crane knocking down
All those things that we were
I awake in the night
To hear the engines pout

He lives near the building they used to live in together that is being torn down, and the tearing down of their place together is unbearable.

There's a pain, it does ripple
Through my frame, makes me lame
There's a thorn in my side
It's the shame, it's the prize

He is proud of their love, but ashamed that it is trapping him in the past that is gone.

Of you and me, ever-changing
Moving on now, moving fast
And this touch must be wanted
Must become through your ask

now the pace of loss has increased with time, the loss of their place together.


But I need Jake to tell you
That I love you, it never rests
And I bled every day now
For a year, for a year


I did send you a note
On the wind for to read
Our names there together
Must've fallen like a seed

To the depths of the soil
Buried deep in the ground
On the wind, I can hear you
Call my name, held the sounds

he planted a seed of their love in the ground so that it would over time reach the winds and be transplanted somehow to Jake. (personally i think Jake is dead and that is why their world together is gone)

I am lost, I am lost
In a rainbow
Now our rainbow is gone
I am lost in a rainbow
Now our rainbow is gone

I am lost, I am lost
I am lost, I am lost
I am lost


I don't know if I have ever heard a voice express the loss of love like this voice and these lyrics and this song. I think it is very very hard for him to live, and Jake I think is not on earth anymore.
