Liam Horne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love wash away like dirt on my shoe
Don't, don't run away like you always do
No, no more excuses for you
Get away from pain like seven days
The lyrics of Liam Horne's song Black and White, is a reflection of the aftermath of a broken relationship. The singer tells his lover not to try and stay as he has moved on from the pain caused by the breakup. He likens their love to dirt that can be easily washed away from the sole of his shoe, suggesting that their love was not strong enough to withstand any trial.
In the second verse, the singer tells his lover not to run away as they always do. He is tired of the excuses she gives for the pain she inflicts on him. He wants her to take responsibility for her actions and stop running away from their problems.
The chorus creates a vivid imagery of a person trying to distance themselves from pain. The singer tells his lover that he's trying to get away from the pain, much like 'seven days' or a week. This could be interpreted as the need for time to heal and move on.
Overall, the song talks about a person who has moved on from a toxic relationship and is now ready to let go of the past and venture into the future.
