Sew Intricate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the night, so cold.
It was I, wishing you were by my side.
Well I confess,
I'm a fool.
Such a mess,
Here as I sit and try not to break down.
Guess I'll keep dreamin'
I can't bare to live a life.
Without you by my side.
Tell me, am I alive?
Can I confide?
You said we would survive.
Yeah right, you're only telling lies.
Why am I surprised, that I'm not alright?
I built this heart of stone.
In the night alone.
What a life, right?
Missing what was never even mine.
Just confess, you're lustful.
Half a mess, enough though.
As I sit here smiling soft, guess I'll keep dreamin'
I can't bare to live a life.
Without you by my side.
Tell me, am I alive?
Can I confide?
You said we would survive.
Yeah right, you're only telling lies.
Why am I surprised, that I'm not alright?
I guess you're like a storm,
Pouring on to shore.
Listening is something I perfected on the floor.
I'm cashing in my chords, cutting off my tongue.
This poison has to love me more than you ever could.
I can't bare to live a life.
Without you by my side.
Tell me, am I alive?
Can I confide?
You said we would survive.
Yeah right, you're only telling lies.
Why am I surprised, that I'm not alright?
The lyrics of "Alright" by Sew Intricate portray the pain and longing of a person who wakes up alone in the cold night, wishing to be with their loved one. The singer expresses their vulnerability and confesses their foolishness in their inability to handle the situation. They dream of having their special someone by their side while acknowledging the fact that they are a mess, trying not to break down. The singer then questions if they can even survive without the other person, wondering if they are alive at all. They feel betrayed by their partner's promises of survival, which turn out to be lies. The singer feels like they are missing something that was never theirs to begin with, building a heart of stone in the process, but still holding onto the hope of dreaming.
As the song progresses, the singer likens their loved one to a storm, something chaotic and uncontrollable, to which they had learned to listen passively. The singer realizes that they need to let go of their chords and cut off their tongue, for the poison of their love is greater than their desire for their partner. The song ends with the singer lamenting the fact that they are not alright, despite the promises and lies of their loved one.
Overall, the song conveys the message that love can be poisonous and chaotic, but despite all the pain and hurt, the longing for the other person remains. It is a bittersweet representation of the struggles of love.
