Chelsea Park After Dark
Donovan Melero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does it work like it did when you paint on new polish instead.
Stay over there. You said please don't interferethat we no longer share the same course.
And if I came it wasn't fair. That I knew just how to steer, and I'm one of your weaknesses. So that was it.
(Chelsea Park After Dark). I'm not saying that I hate you but I'm just saying that I hate the way that it fell apart.
But you did what you had to
Asked believe me I believe you when you told me what you had to do and then what you did you did for yourself.
Like the road trips, the photos on your terrace back when you felt it, still.
We couldn't get our clothes off quick enough if we tried.
In a whirlwind we'd stay but we liked it that way.
And now we don't talk but let's not think about that, let's think about how we always dreamed.
In the cab rides at night we would see all the lights.
But nothing was brighter and nothing felt better than being right there.
When it's 5 am overseas I just left the show, I'm calling to tell you I'm free.
That was last year, now I'm not sure you'd answer.
Was my love a cancer, maybe a disaster..
So we'd sever and bleed.
And I just wish you well. I know I always will.
I know we don't talk but, let's not think about that, let's think about.
Chelsea Park After Dark.
I'll always have Chelsea Park After Dark.
I'll always know the color of you.
Chelsea Park After Dark
The color of us.
In "Chelsea Park After Dark" by Donovan Melero, the artist reflects on a past relationship that has fallen apart. The opening lines suggest that the relationship ended because of external factors that affected it negatively. The use of an analogy in the first few lines, comparing a magnet losing its magnetic power to the way their relationship fell apart, suggests that the bond between the two individuals may have been strong in the beginning but fizzled out as time passed.
The song then explores the themes of regret and self-reflection. The artist admits to his shortcomings in the relationship, acknowledging that he was aware of his impact on the relationship, and his presence was a weakness for the other individual. The lyrics recall the good times shared by the couple, such as the road trips, and photos taken together, and the whirlwind of passion that they shared. The chorus suggests that despite the heartbreak, the artist can still cherish the happy moments they shared at "Chelsea Park After Dark," and that place will always be a fond memory for him.
The closing lines highlight the artist's acceptance of the situation and his wish for goodwill towards his ex-partner. The reference to the "color of us" represents the memories shared and how they will always be part of their lives.
