Freckles
Sandy Fox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I brush against the freckles that I hated so when,
Life goes on and I heave a little sigh for you.
It's heavy, the love that I once share with you,
Then it dissolved like it was just a sugarcube.
Now the little pain sitting in my heart
Has shrunk in a bit, but it really does hurt me now.
Those silly horoscopes, I
Guess I can't trust them after all.

If we could get further away,
I wonder what it would be like?
Yay!
I'd be so happy
Inside my heart.

All the memories I have are beautiful in my mind,
But they don't feed the hunger deep inside my soul.
And tonight I thought,
I'd be just sitting in my sorrow.
And now I must wonder wonder why.
What did it really mean to you?
I just can't see it anymore!




I just can't see it anymore.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oooooh

Overall Meaning

The song "Freckles" by Sandy Fox seems to be a reflection on a past relationship, specifically the thoughts and feelings of the singer as they reminisce on their former lover. The line "I brush against the freckles that I hate so when" suggests that the singer has mixed emotions about their memories of the relationship - they are drawn to it, but also feel negative feelings associated with it. The next line, "Life goes on and I heave a little sigh for you" suggests that the singer still thinks about their ex-partner, even though they may have moved on. The lyrics contrast the heaviness of the love that was once shared between the singer and their ex-partner with the ease with which it dissolved, represented by the simile "it dissolved like it was just a sugarcube".


The chorus expresses a desire to escape the pain associated with the ended relationship. The singer wonders what it would be like to be "further away", hinting at the idea that distance may provide a way to move on from the pain. The line "I'd be so happy inside my heart" reinforces this idea, suggesting that the singer is currently unhappy and seeking a way to find joy again. The second verse talks about the beauty of the memories of the relationship, but how they cannot satisfy the singer's "hunger deep inside [her] soul". The lines "And tonight I thought, I'd be just sitting in my sorrow. And now I must wonder wonder why. What did it really mean to you?" suggest a feeling of confusion and sadness in the singer as they question the meaning and depth of the relationship. The repeated refrain of "I just can't see it anymore" seems to express a sense of disorientation and confusion as the singer tries to make sense of their emotions.


Line by Line Meaning

I brush against the freckles that I hated so when,
I feel my freckles as a subtle reminder of my past insecurities.


Life goes on and I heave a little sigh for you.
Even though life continues, I still feel sadness for the loss of our love.


It's heavy, the love that I once share with you,
The love that we shared was deep and significant in my life.


Then it dissolved like it was just a sugarcube.
However, our love came to an end so easily, as if it was nothing of real substance.


Now the little pain sitting in my heart
I carry this small but constant ache in my heart,


Has shrunk in a bit, but it really does hurt me now.
Although the pain has lessened, it still hurts me greatly.


Those silly horoscopes, I
I used to put faith in astrology and its predictions, but


Guess I can't trust them after all.
I no longer find comfort or truth in them.


If we could get further away,
If we could distance ourselves from our shared past,


I wonder what it would be like?
I wonder how different things would be now.


Yay!
I would be ecstatic!


I'd be so happy
I crave happiness and the chance to move on.


Inside my heart.
This feeling of joy would be internal and personal.


All the memories I have are beautiful in my mind,
My memories of us are fond and sentimental.


But they don't feed the hunger deep inside my soul.
However, they do not fulfill the longing I feel for love.


And tonight I thought,
Tonight I reflected and pondered


I'd be just sitting in my sorrow.
That I would be consumed by my sadness of our lost love.


And now I must wonder wonder why.
I now ask myself, why did our love end?


What did it really mean to you?
Did our love actually mean anything to you?


I just can't see it anymore!
I am unable to comprehend the reason behind our breakup.


Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oooooh
This emotion leaves me speechless and overwhelmed.

This song is such a great fakeout.

Badass guitar intro

CUTE LIL GIRL SINGIN

Wait what?

@TA-ew9bi

Mr. Mystery I wouldn't have it be any other way

@theanxiouscatechist2504

Mr. Mystery The original voice is stronger, it sounds better. Believe me.

@sjappiyah4071

Le Pétit Virtuel Princesse You mean the Japanese version, I found it awful

@shellypotts7379

Mr. Mystery shut up this is awesome

@spartancolonel

Maybe that's Kenshin's character in a nutshell. You don't expect this dorky and painfully polite man to be the the Imperialists greatest warrior and fiercest killer.

"All the memories I have are beautiful in my mind, But they don't feed the hunger deep inside my soul"-Every year I feel this lyric more and more.

@TheShifter1001

Study Scripture Sir 🫡

@FullOedipus

@@TheShifter1001 Instead of studying scripture, how about you just lead by example like jesus did. Because when the world is burning, talking to the sky, and reading books does no good. Only action can make a difference.

@UncoolForYou

Stay strong man. Lord knows we got to.
