Wedding Dress
little white lies Lyrics

The lyrics to Little White Lies' song "Wedding Dress" speak about a broken relationship, and the aftermath of it. The opening lines suggest that the singer has lost their grace and threw away their wedding dress, which symbolizes the loss of their marriage. The next line, "I buried your love alive," further supports the idea that the relationship is over, and the singer is carrying that loss with them. The following line, "This illness drained all my strength," could suggest that the singer is suffering from depression or illness, which has made it difficult to move on.

The line "Going down a blind alley, going up in flames again" suggests that the singer may have tried to reconcile the relationship but failed, and the attempt was a foolish one. Despite this failure, the singer feels like it's time to move on, and they urge their partner to realize it as well. The repeated lines "Divided we stand, united we fall" further emphasizes the idea that the relationship is broken and that the only way to heal is by standing together.

The chorus of the song repeats the concept of realizing that the relationship is over and accepting it. The use of "We" in the chorus suggests that the singer is acknowledging that both parties need to accept the loss to move on. The song's use of opposing concepts such as divided and united emphasizes that the singer sees the dichotomy of the relationship and knows that to overcome the obstacles, both parties must come together.
