Lyrical Analysis of...
"Lux Vitae (Light of my Life)" by Patches
- Topic: Regardless of how it's perceived, I'm using my platform as a musician
- to communicate my romantic struggles, as well as what I'm looking for
- Is this nice guy shit? I want to make sure this isn't extremely sad or creepy
- Prelude
- I normally don't write about
- Things I don't know about
- But I'm still holding out
- I'll find what I go without
- Verse 1: I'm a lonely boy, and my financial situation doesn't help
- Hello listeners who feel what I'm wishing for
- Whose lack of accolades hold you back from many scores
- Of women twice as gorgeous as the morning Sun that soars
- Out from underneath us to illuminate our shores
- Longing on the awning, I'm not looking for belongings
- I just want somebody strong who lifts me when I'm falling
- On this road I've walked, you shouldn't trust how I have talked
- My showing no emotion left me floating over rocks
- Sitting in an ocean hoping they notice the commotion
- And lends a helping hand, I'm corrupted by this notion
- See, I'm quite a vocal folk until my only hope approaches
- I inhale when near a female, but turn up mostly hopeless
- And if you mention dating apps, don't even get me started
- I don't shop anywhere unless at the farmer's market
- It should be easier with all the apps on all our phones
- But with the way I respect our women, swiping right I can't condone
- To get a taste for meat when you only want the bone
- A romantic hopeful, who in social situations
- Doesn't know what's proper and resorts to imitation
- Chorus:
- A king on a throne, but his home is remote
- Hey, did I miss the boat? Should I go for the throat?
- Verse 2:
- My happy ever after has to have some sort of seasoning
- A body I can worship with a head that's full of reasoning
- Who sees me as an equal, hardly at my beck and call
- But is acting as my rock who can get me through it all
- Let me say I'm not afraid to show my times of weakness
- I've had only myself in days marked by waves of bleakness
- Why in the first place do you think I'm set to seek this?
- A lover, not above her, that gives reasons to a sequence
- Of actions that I take, with every beautiful mistake
- We get closer and we hope that maybe better days await
- Let her challenge me on my poorly though out fallacies
- That she is capable of seeing I support invalidly
- Let her grab a scholar by his tightly knitted collar
- And count our blessings, giving many thanks to every dollar
- But most of all, we both recall we'll always have each other
- I oppose excess, but don't oppose a palace
- If I don't want contradiction, I must find a balance
- Tolerating heiresses transcends my ability
- If money's the foundation, then my patience spills fragility
- I want a 5 foot something youngun, 20 at the earliest
- Comfortable in clothing, as well as all her nerdiness
- And if she's a little pervy, then I think that I could work with this
- I want someone considerate of blights of other people
- Someone just naive enough to rid the world of evil
- Maybe cuz I'd see some of myself in all her acts of kindness
- We would give each other all of us, even with none behind us
