Bruises
Elvis Depressedly Lyrics

In Elvis Depressedly's song "Bruises," the lyrics are a reflection of the singer's restless state of mind, indicating that he is going through a difficult time. The line "restless, out of my head" suggests that the singer is unable to find peace or calmness, which could be due to mental health issues or a turbulent relationship. In the next line, "touching death for laughs, I guess," the singer is referring to his flirtation with death, which could indicate either a reckless lifestyle or a mental state that makes him feel numbness towards his surroundings. The following line, "endless in your first kiss, bruises of amethyst," portrays the memory of the singer's first kiss, which resulted in a painful and impactful experience that he remembers with the metaphorical bruises of amethyst.

The subject of the song then shifts to the idea of wishing away one's life to escape the pains of love. The line "we met so long ago" signifies that the singer has been in love for a long time or has known someone for a long time, enough to have developed real feelings. The lyric "I've torn my insides out" suggests that the singer has put all his feelings and emotions into this love, though it seems to be causing him some emotional pain. He then expresses his perspective "to wish our lives away, from this eternal love," indicating that he feels trapped in the relationship and wishes to escape it. Finally, the song ends with the line "my advice is rancid," indicating that the singer feels his words or thoughts may not be considered of much value or worth any longer.
