Exit scene
Closed curtains
Wait
Dulled

I can see through your body
Tangled wires
First light glowing from inside
Glaring eyes

Saw your birthmark
Under crawl space
I'm desolate
I've dulled my taste
Wait

You're transparent
An apparition
Fading

Into nothing
Outlines a shape unclear

A blurred focus
Yet still familiar

Exit scene
Closed curtains
Wait
Dulled
Exit scene
Closed curtains




Wait
Dulled

Overall Meaning

The song "Romance" by Blanket seems to be a hauntingly beautiful track that explores the feeling of fading affection in a relationship. The repeated phrases, "Exit scene, closed curtains, wait, dulled" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the end of a relationship. The "exit scene" could represent a breakup, while the "closed curtains" symbolize the end of the show, or the end of the relationship. The wait could be the time in between, where the feelings and emotions get dulled and fade away.


The second verse, "I can see through your body, tangled wires, first light glowing from inside, glaring eyes," seems to suggest that the singer is looking deeper into their partner and can see the flaws and imperfections that they have been hiding. The "glaring eyes" could represent the partner's acknowledgement of their faults, and their discomfort with being exposed.


The last few lines of the song, "You're transparent, an apparition, fading into nothing, outlines a shape unclear, a blurred focus, yet still familiar," seems to suggest that the partner has become a shell of what they once were, and the love that was once so clear is now fading away. The "shape unclear" could represent the doubts and uncertainties the singer has about the relationship, but the familiarity is still there.
