Moose Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And girl, I'm sleeping better than I ever have
Have I let you down? It's harder now
You just gotta tell me when you miss me
'Cause I'm barely around
Does she mind at all? Does she get it?
On the walk to school, just forget it
Tell me, is it worth it for you?
See, I'm not being selfish
And is it working for you?
It's okay, I can take it
I need you to say it
So I don't overthink it
She's too young to show it
I need her to understand it
So we're married now
And girl, I'm feeling better than I ever have
Don't wanna let you down 'cause I'm growing up
I'm in no rush to slow down
'Cause I don't know how
You know you have me
You know you have
me
The song "Pastel" by Moose Blood is a reflection on a past relationship and how the singer has found peace with it as time has passed. It begins with the line "It's been a few years now" indicating that the singer has moved on from the relationship and is now in a better place emotionally. He reflects on sleeping better than he ever has before, suggesting that he was once troubled by the relationship.
The singer then questions whether his ex-girlfriend, whom he addresses as "girl," has moved on as well. He wonders if she understands why the relationship ended and if she is able to forget about it. The line "does she get it?" implies that there was a misunderstanding or disagreement in the relationship that caused it to end.
The song then shifts to the present where the singer is now married and feeling better than ever before. He acknowledges that he doesn't want to let his current partner down and is willing to work on himself to maintain the relationship. The closing lines, "you know you have me," suggest that he has found true love and is committed to it.
Overall, "Pastel" is a reflective piece that explores the complexity of relationships and how time can change our perspective on them.
