Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
your lacerating lips lain upon mine for the last time
painful papercuts strewn across my gums
your such a pretty example of a picture perfect portrait painted with my blood from each time i kissed your photo goodbye...
...goodbye lover, im dripping myself dry, no more tears i'll fucking cry, i will bleed no more, there'll be no more scars across my arm, all i have to do is tear every letter and burn all the envelopes and watch the embers float away...
...i fucking hate what i became, a hollow shell shot straight to hell, empty eyes and an empty casket, you wont kill me that easy...
...staring down a lovers corpse
ive never felt so alive, its a pity you couldnt survive to see the smile on my face...
...your lips will lacerate mine for the last time, painful papercuts still stewn across my gums, such a pretty example of a picture pefect portrait painted with my blood from each time i kissed your photo goodbye...
...im not as crazy as i seem, i hope you know this is all a dream, just a fucked up dream...
...please tell me this was a dream...
painful papercuts strewn across my gums
