a morning i woke up
Infinity Crush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

post-apocalyptic dreams taste the way you would
and all the trees and teenagers would try you if they could

even when I'm fucking up you say I'm still your angel
and all the snarls in my hair are just to make my halo
we started out so beautiful and now we're just all mangled
wearing through this skin we're in our sheets they just stayed tangled
i was just 16 yrs old when i first lost my mind
in a summer metro ride to the faceless ghosts inside

the times i said i'd care for you and the promises i made you
got me bored and sick again
so i went and i betrayed you
I'm the rust that your blood will soon change to
to get inside and poison you




and love and rearrange you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Infinity Crush's song "A Morning I Woke Up in" tell a story of a tumultuous relationship that has gone from something beautiful to something mangled. The opening lyrics "post-apocalyptic dreams taste the way you would and all the trees and teenagers would try you if they could" evoke an eerie and desolate image, as though the dreamer is experiencing a world that has gone awry. The phrase "the way you would" suggests that the person they are dreaming of is intimately connected to this post-apocalyptic world, as though they somehow belong to it.


The second stanza refers to the dreamer's partner, who sees them as an angel even when they're "fucking up." This suggests that the relationship is troubled and that the dreamer is not living up to their partner's expectations. The line "all the snarls in my hair are just to make my halo" is a clever play on words, as though the dreamer is using their hair to create a visual representation of their status as an angel.


The third stanza introduces a darker theme, as the dreamer reflects on the fact that they were just 16 when they first "lost [their] mind." This could be interpreted in a number of ways - perhaps the dreamer experienced some kind of trauma at that age, or perhaps they began to struggle with mental health issues. Either way, the image of a "summer metro ride to the faceless ghosts inside" is haunting and evocative.


The final stanza is perhaps the most harrowing, as the dreamer realizes that they have grown bored of their partner and "betrayed" them. The line "I'm the rust that your blood will soon change to" suggests that the dreamer is aware that their actions will have a lasting impact on their partner, and that they may cause them to suffer in the future. The final line, "and love and rearrange you," is a poignant ending to the song, as though the dreamer still wants to try and fix their relationship, even though they know they might be too late.


Overall, "A Morning I Woke Up In" is a haunting and deeply introspective song that captures the pain and complexity of human relationships.

post-apocalyptic dreams taste the way you would
My dreams of a desolate world taste like the reality of your love


and all the trees and teenagers would try you if they could
The purity and beauty of nature and youth would long to experience the depth of your love


even when I'm fucking up you say I'm still your angel
Despite my flaws and mistakes, you still see me as a divine being to be treasured


and all the snarls in my hair are just to make my halo
My tangled and messy appearance is actually a representation of my angelic nature


we started out so beautiful and now we're just all mangled
Our relationship began with such promise and beauty, but now it has become distorted and damaged


wearing through this skin we're in our sheets they just stayed tangled
Our physical bodies are becoming worn and tired, while our emotional ties remain tangled and unresolved


i was just 16 yrs old when i first lost my mind
At a young age, I experienced a mental breakdown that forever changed my perception of the world


in a summer metro ride to the faceless ghosts inside
During a train ride, I became consumed by the inner demons and fears that haunt me


the times i said i'd care for you and the promises i made you
I made vows to love and care for you, but now those words feel empty and meaningless


got me bored and sick again
The routine of our relationship has become dull and draining


so i went and i betrayed you
In search of excitement and fulfillment, I acted against your trust and loyalty


I'm the rust that your blood will soon change to

to get inside and poison you
I aim to infiltrate and damage your emotional wellbeing through my destructive actions


and love and rearrange you
Even as I cause harm, I still hold a twisted form of affection for you that seeks to manipulate and control
