Past Your Frame
A Drop in the Gray Lyrics

The lyrics of "Past Your Frame" by A Drop in the Gray express a sense of longing for someone that the singer cannot be with. The opening lines allude to the idea of seeing someone in a new light, which could imply a shift in perspective in the relationship. However, despite this newfound understanding, the singer still feels trapped by their own emotions. They trust the other person's heart, but they cannot move past the image of them that they hold in their mind.

The second stanza deepens this feeling of stuckness. The singer describes suffering fools easily, suggesting a lack of patience or tolerance with others, but then immediately pivots to describing their fixation on the other person's face, lips, and smile. The repetition of "I can't get past your frame" drives home the idea of being trapped mentally or emotionally. The final lines hint at a sense of trying to push the other person away, perhaps as a form of protection, but also a desire to follow them even when they go their separate ways.

Overall, the song explores the complexities of feeling deeply for someone and not being able to act on those feelings. Despite trusting the other person's motives, the singer cannot shake their own emotional grip on the relationship.
