lay me in the boat of the flames

VALENTINE
> so you could say that the song is about unrequited love but it’s also about placing the one you love on a pedestal so it’s kind of like the please relationship? / only be subject of romantic delusions. which i have a Lot to say on so lets just skip to lyrics
>> You didn’t see my valentine / I sent it via pantomime
>>> re: pantomime is a MIME so basically shes trying to express her feelings through her actions but shell never say them out loud and she gets upset when her Li doesnt get it
>> I’m amorous but out of reach / A still life drawing of a peach
>> she loves them (peach) but see above: will say nothing of it. there is no EMOTION in still life drawings ...get therapy fiona..
>> I’m a tulip in a cup / I stand no chance of growing up
>>> so shes been unrooted and is unable to escape her cup (her feelings) she cant move on
>> I watched you live to have my fun
>>> she finds joy in loving this person from afar
>> HOOK: I root for you / I love you / You, you, you
>>> okay so the you/you/you part contains the tritone otherwise known as the devils note because of how unsettling it sounds - it’s usually used in plays to sort of instill a sense of foreboding

im tired now ill get back to this later
