Lucky In Love
Devin Lauder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not once have petals grown on roots to which I've tended - none shown
But blossoms, wilted, fell to my feet
Back home wandering streets
Outer space love, all aboard your lullaby
I'm face-up, light speed into my demise
I bathe in galaxies on hunts for actualities - expeditions unknown, cosmic alibis
Won't you appear in more than fragments floating behind Henry's stare, in the dust above that hair
Oh I can't help but wonder - what would mid July be like
Green January, somebody's in love
Only after hours will I walk, path enlightened by your cherries
Seldom do you talk with words that I don't carry
I could recite back to you our night from 12th to your room
Crystallized chews, forced myself to make believe I'm not blue, staring at your eyes of the same hue
Ash my lucky in Love and say goodbye to the only one I've ever known
The song "Lucky In Love" by Devin Lauder is a highly emotional and imaginative piece of music.

The lyrics "Won't you appear in more than fragments floating behind Henry's stare, in the dust above that hair" suggests that the singer was once in love with someone, but now, they have gone - appearing only as fragments or memories.
