Porcelain
The Agnes Circle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for your time to come
Nothingness in bouquets
Obeying as it falls astray
It's the last time that I'll see your face
Fatal day to come
Fatal day to come
Existence cursed today
Negation burned white to grey
Freedom on display
Burdened by the choice to stay
It's the last time that I'll see your face
Fatal day to come
Fatal day to come
The lyrics to The Agnes Circle's song Porcelain seem to speak of impending doom and loss. The opening lines "Dressed in white again, waiting for your time to come" suggest a sense of anticipation for something that is inevitable yet not fully realized. This is further emphasized by "Nothingness in bouquets, obeying as it falls astray," a phrase that speaks of a lack of control and acceptance of the inevitable.
The chorus "It's the last time that I'll see your face, fatal day to come" adds to the sense of loss and foreboding. This could be interpreted in many different ways; it could refer to the end of a relationship, death or the end of an era. The lines following the chorus further accentuate the mood; "Existence cursed today, negation burned white to grey, freedom on display, burdened by the choice to stay" suggest a decision that needs to be made or an event that is beyond one's control.
Overall, Porcelain seems to be a song that speaks of endings and beginnings, and the inevitability of change. It paints a picture of uncertainty and loss but also highlights the freedom that comes with making a difficult choice.
