Sayde Price Lyrics

What will you say to me tonight?
The singer is seeking reassurance from someone about what they will say.

Lord knows that I'm naked and bright eyed
The singer is vulnerable and exposed.

With my hands full of stones, I never felt less alone
The singer feels comforted by the weight of the stones in their hands, and finds some solace in feeling alone.

Lord knows I never felt less alone
The artist is emphasizing their sense of loneliness and isolation.

My stones you thought them ugly, common rock
The artist is acknowledging that their coping mechanisms may not be attractive or effective to others.

It's a girl you wanted, darling, all along
The singer believes that their partner desires someone different from them.

But I'm spiny as a tree of fur
The singer is expressing how difficult and unapproachable they feel.

And you knew to touch me it would hurt
The artist's partner understands that getting close to them would be painful.

So I won't deserve you when the winters, they grow long
The artist feels they will be abandoned by their partner when the tough times come.

When the winds stole my walls, I never felt less alone
The artist finds comfort in loneliness when everything else is stripped away.

Cause when you lay your head down at the end of the day
The singer is addressing their partner's behavior.

I wish it was your work that you could put away
The artist wishes their partner didn't bring their work stress home with them.

And when you pick your feet up well steps for to take
The singer is describing their partner's movement through life.

Will you ever notice who was in your way?
The singer wonders if their partner will ever recognize the sacrifices the singer has made for them.

And when you looked at her
The singer is addressing their partner's infidelity.

Her hands covered in clay
The artist's partner has been unfaithful with an artist.

And a smile on her face
The artist's partner seems happy with their infidelity.

Did the thought just escape you?
The singer is asking if their partner really thought about the consequences of their actions.

Maybe your time and your money are not enough to save you
The singer is suggesting that their partner's wealth and power cannot protect them from the negative consequences of their actions.

Maybe your time and your money just won't save you
The artist is repeating the idea that their partner's resources cannot protect them.

But you hold your inky black veins
The artist is describing their partner's darkness and negativity.

And I keep my ghostly white pains - to myself,
The artist keeps their own pain private and internalizes it.

Most of the time anyway
The singer sometimes does express their pain to their partner.

And you hold your dark pointed wick
The artist is describing their partner's destructive nature.

And I don't want any of it
The singer wants nothing to do with their partner's darkness.

No, I never wanted any of it
The singer reiterates their rejection of their partner's negativity.

I will die rosy in-deception
The singer will die still holding onto their illusions and self-deceptions.

Try peeling off these old impressions
The artist wants to shed their old beliefs and illusions.

Stuck to my skin like a bee's legs in pollen
The artist's illusions cling to them like pollen sticks to a bee's legs.

And clung to my shirt
The singer's illusions are so deeply ingrained, they cling to their very clothes.

As my hands met the dirt and my knees kissed the earth
The singer is describing a moment of humility and surrender.

I hope you're sure
The artist wants their partner to be certain of their desires and intentions.

Cause when the winds stole my walls
The artist's barriers and protections have been stripped away.

I never felt less alone
The artist found comfort in feeling alone when everything else was taken from them.

Lord knows I never felt less alone
The singer emphasizes their sense of loneliness and isolation.

With my hands full of stones, I never felt less alone
The artist finds solace in the weight of the stones in their hands and the feeling of being alone.

Lord knows I never felt less alone
The singer reiterates their sense of isolation and loneliness.

Lord knows I never felt less alone
The singer ends the song with a repetition of their feelings of loneliness and isolation.
