Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pointed chin and rounded nose
The angle at which they slope
Keep me on my knees and on my toes

Freckled face and ears that glow
A breath you take, soft and slow
Stop my heart but that's just how it goes

Please don't walk away from me
Before I say my piece
I know it's hard enough to keep
Your composure
And maybe later on this week
We'll take back the words we speak
And you'll tell me once again
That it's over

Tangled hair, a beauty mark
Every touch, a work of art
Tell me why this has to be so hard

Glassy eyes and lips that part
A tear you shed, an odd remark
Why'd you make me love you in the dark

Please don't walk away from me
Before I say my piece
I know it's hard enough to keep
Your composure
And maybe later on this week
We'll take back the words we speak
And you'll tell me once again
That it's over

Pointed chin and rounded nose
The angle at which they slope
Keep me on my knees and on my toes

Freckled face and ears that glow

A breath you take, soft and slow
Stop my heart but that's just how it goes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fuvk's song "Dec17" seem to be about a relationship that is ending or has ended, with the singer struggling to come to terms with their feelings. The song contains a number of descriptions of the other person, such as their pointed chin, rounded nose, freckled face, and ears that glow, which suggest a deep interest and attraction to them. However, it is clear that the relationship has been fraught with difficulty, with lines like "tell me why this has to be so hard" and "why'd you make me love you in the dark" suggesting a sense of confusion and helplessness.

Despite the pain that the singer is feeling, they seem determined to speak their mind and try to salvage something from the situation. They ask the other person not to walk away before they've had a chance to speak, acknowledging that it's difficult to keep their emotions in check. They also express hope that they may be able to reconcile in the future and "take back the words we speak." Ultimately, though, the song's final lines seem to suggest resignation to the situation, with the singer accepting that their heart has been stopped and that "that's just how it goes."
