Deluca

ultimate break up song. how searing those last arguments can be and how you can look back with a lot of regrets.

the lyrics posted here are great! Well done. I have a few minor suggestions on how i hear it:

The stain that sticks like glue Your expression when you left I’ll never change your style We're severed and untied

I failed to help your head I was selfish and unwise I’ll never make you smile Cuz my train runs with no track

A stain that sticks like glue Your expression when you left I'll never change your style We're severed and untied

I failed to help your head I was selfish and unwise I'll never make you smile My train runs with your track

another breakup song by the master.

In a lot of Flake Music / Shins songs love and friendship are transcendant, escapes, adventures. the imagery is flight and floating (From Girl Inform Me: "How else could you tie my head to the sky?").

Then the breakups are messy, devastating. The imagery is "severed and untied" or losing a part of yourself (like a phantom limb).

"the weird divide" is an amazing song title and that phrase also appears in the song Sphagnum Esplanade: "Far better a find it is if we try to span the weird divide With no real rationale we step out of bounds and think we've escaped the lies"

From Fighting in a Sack: "Walking a bridge with weakening cables" and "Marionettes on weakening cables/Huddled up with fear and hate/because they know their fate/ and it's a lot to put them through"

From Pink Bullets: "When our kite lines first crossed We tied them into knots And finally fly apart We had to cut them off" and lastly, "Two loose kites falling from the sky Drawn to the ground and an end to flight"

From Past and Pending: "We settle down to cut ourselves apart" and "and lose yourself in lines dissecting love".
