Eight Month Hiatus
SecondShot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These are conflicting arguments
Repeating doesn't amplify
Yelling doesn't justify
This shade of irritant
Is worse than it's ever been
It's shitting on my day and night
I'm taking on the second offer
I'm disregarding all the blame
And all the promises we made
Crystal clear without a sound
The thrill and the guilt are both wearing out
Unashamed, unafraid
No conscience intact
Not too proud to beg, steal or borrow
Since we are two parts of an idiot
Fighting for space
And I am not supposed to be here
It's a nice enough day to make some complaints
Who's up next to hear my confession
This eight month hiatus is pinning us back into place
I'm disregarding all the blame
And all the promises we made
Crystal clear without a sound
The thrill and the guilt are both wearing out
Unashamed, unafraid
No conscience intact
Not too proud to beg, steal or borrow
Since we are two parts of an idiot
Fighting for space
And I am not supposed to be here
The lyrics of SecondShot's song Eight Month Hiatus speak to a relationship that has reached its peak, and not in a good way. The opening line of "Wait one second" suggests a frustrated pause in a heated argument. The next few lines lament the lack of resolution, as the arguments just repeat and yelling only makes things worse. The chorus sets the tone of the rest of the song, where the singer is disregarding the blame and the broken promises that have led them to this point. It seems that the relationship has reached an impasse, as both parties are fighting for space but neither feels like they belong. The line "I am not supposed to be here" suggests that the singer recognizes that there is no reconciliation in sight.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of resignation, that the once thrilling relationship has lost its spark and the guilt and thrill are both wearing out. The singer admits to having no conscience, and not being too proud to beg, steal or borrow, suggesting a feeling of desperation. The eight month hiatus mentioned in the title of the song seems to have been a period of separation that was supposed to help the relationship, but has instead pinned both parties back into place.
Overall, the lyrics of Eight Month Hiatus are a poignant and relatable portrayal of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lack of resolution and the sense of resignation are palpable, making the song a powerful ode to heartbreak and the futility of staying in a relationship that has gone sour.
