Platonic Love

about

A song about my past. In 2014 I fractured my ankle and I was waiting in the emergency room for being checked: back then I started writing this lyrics. This year (2020) I graduated in Philosophy and they still made sense to me: they are appliable to different subjects and situations, but Platos' theory of love is the one which connects them all. It's a love that distinguishes: me and you, us and them.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Is this the end, where everything falls apart?
You think you're the only one to be warm and heat the world?
See above? There's light from the stars
Burning my skin while you rely on the only sun you know

IT'S EASY TO LOVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU, BUT CAN YOU ACCEPT THE ONES WHO DON'T WANT?
IT'S EASY TO LOVE PEOPLE YOU NEED OF, BUT CAN YOU WITH ONES WHO NEED NOT YOU?
BUT I CAN'T FEEL LOVE, I CAN'T LOVE ALL NOW, I THINK: THIS IS MY TRUTH
YOU THINK I'M NUMB, BUT TRUTH IS NOT NONE, I GOT OVER AND MOVE ON

She's dead to me, the future doesn't come
Anymore through her lips like the shutters on the seashore
I've always thought that you were the right one of us
And now I see that we both prefer convenience over what we felt

IT'S EASY TO LOVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU, BUT CAN YOU ACCEPT THE ONES WHO DON'T WANT?
IT'S EASY TO LOVE PEOPLE YOU NEED OF, BUT CAN YOU WITH ONES WHO NEED NOT YOU?
BUT I CAN'T FEEL LOVE, I CAN'T LOVE ALL NOW, I THINK: THIS IS MY TRUTH
YOU THINK I'M NUMB, BUT TRUTH IS NOT NONE, I GOT OVER AND MOVE ON
