THE FRAGMENT
In the song
The first fracture: when something arrives before you are ready.
Lyrics
Twelve a.m. in your bed, in your bed
Again, while the moon paints me red
Two hundred miles away we could wait in the space
Two hundred miles away, maybe that would ease the pain
I wanna scream, I wanna fight
But tonight don't make me cry
I wanna scream, I wanna fight
But tonight don't make me cry
I wanna breathe, I wanna fly
Please don't smother me tonight
I wanna breathe, I wanna fly
Please don't smother me tonight
Fall in love with me tonight.
Backstory
The moment something arrives without warning and changes the shape of the room. It is the first fracture: being hit before you even understand what did it.
Info
It can be read as a song about the unexpected, emotional distance and what breaks in when you thought you were safe.
