Washed Out
The introspective lyrics explore the theme of a deteriorating relationship, reflecting on the struggle to acknowledge the truth. The repetition of "spent five years" signifies a prolonged period of emotional investment that ultimately feels wasted. The phrase "holding so tight" suggests a desperate clinging to what might already be lost, while "if the fire's gone out, is it time we stop?" questions whether it's time to let go. The overarching message is a poignant reflection on recognizing when to end a relationship instead of living in denial. As the singer contemplates if they can "face yourself alone," it underscores the fear and uncertainty of moving forward independently. #EndOfLove #EmotionalRealization #SelfReflection
