Verse 1
• "I stopped writing you down as my emergency contact": This line indicates a significant change in the relationship, symbolizing moving on or creating distance.
• "I bet you're glad that you don't have to come running every time I fall back": Suggests the speaker acknowledges the burden they might have been on the other person, implying a sense of guilt or resignation.
• "The light is out in my kitchen, But I'm still washing the dishes": Despite the lack of light (hope or clarity), the speaker continues with routine tasks, indicating perseverance through difficult times.
• "Avoiding all existence, And it gets so dark sometimes, But I keep you out of sight, Not ready to see what I'm missing": Reflects avoidance of reality and emotions, keeping the person out of mind to avoid the pain of missing them.
Chorus
• "I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't wanna get it right": The speaker is resigned to not seeking perfection or resolution in their situation, perhaps accepting the imperfection and messiness of their feelings.
Verse 2
• "I cry, cry, cry in the shower, Tears and water are no different": The speaker finds solace in crying in the shower, where tears blend with the water, symbolizing a private space to express their emotions.
• "And I could call you I know you'd listen, But I keep you at a safe distance": Acknowledges the possibility of support from the person but chooses to maintain distance for self-preservation.
• "Park my car on your street, I heard that song and had to scream": These lines suggest lingering attachment and emotional triggers, despite trying to move on.
• "I made too many enemies, So I'll leave this city or keep running, No slowing down or giving in, At least until the drugs kick in": Reflects a sense of escapism and the struggles of dealing with adversities, possibly through substance use.
Bridge
• "I watched you like an instant classic, Memorized every line, every scene, Act it out in my sleep, Rewind and repeat": The person is unforgettable, and their memories replay in the speaker's mind like a beloved movie.
• "Someone else can watch you now, 'Cause it can't be me": Acceptance that the relationship is over and someone else may take their place.
Overall Interpretation
The song captures the complexity of moving on from a significant relationship. The speaker is dealing with the emotional aftermath, trying to find a balance between forgetting and preserving memories. Themes of avoidance, resignation, emotional triggers, and the struggle with ongoing attachment are prevalent throughout the lyrics
Conclusion
I pray Christ by means of the Holy Spirit illuminate you; and bring you to the true light of real peace. Amen
