| Oh Shadowmeld :/ I feel your pain...even though for me it is reversed. Even though I'm a girl, I was you in the equation. Here's to both of us finding that right someone :) | |
| Sick of Sarah – Giving Up Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song (and band really) reminds me of an almost romance with a guy @ 17. Our timing is always off and we hurt one another off and on, yet beneath it all, there are genuine feelings present. In the song she constantly sings of cyclic emotions dealing with wanting/the past/and painful/bittersweet emotions that almost inhibit her from moving on. "Extend my hand for one more drink" - Literal alcohol addiction, crutch or metaphor for going to that buried emotional "place" that brings heartache. "I haven't touched the surface yet it was too close for me, I caved" - meaning she hasn't confronted full on her real (scary) feelings for him and backs away before she goes over that all consuming cliff. "The flowers never grow I think I'll pick forever, this time Well, I guess I'm giving up again I guess it's fair, I guess it's fair, I guess it's fair I just don't..." Because of timing, their naivete and life their chance never came. Love never fully bloomed and that realization hurts. She gave up on him once and reflects that this is reality where she will always wonder "what if" things had turned out differently. She understands and accepts that the pain of constantly wondering what if is a trade off for the wrong she did to him. She loves someone still after parting ways and is trying to cope with such. |
