Flake Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your expression when you left
I'll never change your style
Severed and untied
I failed to hold your hand
Self and unwise
I'll never make you smile
A stain that sticks like glue
Your expression when you left
I'll never change your style
Severed and untied
I failed to hold your hand
I was selfish and unwise
I'll never make you smile
A train runs with the trail
The lyrics are from the song "Deluca" by Flake Music. The song seems to be about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening line talks about a "stain that sticks like glue," perhaps referring to the emotional residue of the relationship that still lingers. The next line mentions the person's expression when they left, suggesting the singer was unprepared for the end of the relationship. The line "I'll never change your style" may suggest that the singer was holding onto the hope they could change the other person, but realizes they never could.
The next few lines seem to express the singer's regret for not trying harder to keep the relationship alive. They failed to hold the other person's hand and were "selfish and unwise." Despite their efforts, the singer knows they can never make the other person smile, like a train that runs without a trail - directionless and aimless, moving forward without purpose. The repetition of the opening lines at the end of the song further emphasizes the sense of regret and the inescapable "stain" of their failed relationship.
