Automatic LoveLetter - Unhearted

Photograph each day so we can live forever. Sit in the light to make the dark a little darker and I dance to move only you and I fight to kiss and make up. I scream for some silence. I laugh to laugh for once, not there so you notice I'm gone and I breathe cause its necessary and I sigh when I see the moon. I dream to make sleep less boring until there was you and I feel in the absence of heart and I plug my eyes to cry. I'm a hopeless romantic and kicking the habit but all hearts have darts.


Chorus: Sweet red cherry blossom tree that lives in both you and me. You marked your name but I can see it's not on me. So I've shamelessly gone and made myself come undone.
Heavy hangs my head when I'm Unhearted.


2nd V
I wear this angels crown to cover up my devils frown and upon my broken chest lay a struggle between loneliness and things that are out of place like my head in outer space and the carpet you walked on the ceiling that cries please don't walk away "chorus"


Bridge:
Bellow it out with all the breath in my lungs. Apologize for all that I've done. You did a number on me and a fantastic job. In the scheme of all things we never felt. When your hearts been breached and your guards been let down; You've rotten and spoiled me into the ground and a good mess forgives all the rest we allow


"chorus" x2 Sweet red cherry blossom tree that lives in both you and me.

General idea/story inference: I believe that this song is about a girl who fell in love with someone and got her heart broken in the end. It seems like he was her whole world. I think that she had to end up leaving him and that refers to her being ''unhearted''. I also believe that he found another girl. Maybe that's why she had to leave him.

Quote references:
1. "You did a number on me and a fantastic job."-  This sentence, I think, refers to her boyfriend and how he broke her heart. Her saying he did a number on her means that he hurt her, scarred her, etc. Her also saying he did a fantastic job means that it really, really hurt her. 

2.  "You marked your name but I can see it's not on me."- I think this refers to his other 'lover'. Meaning he found some one else. He "marked his name" on another girl, devoting himself to the other woman and the other woman only. The second part of the sentence clearly means that he didn't want her.

 3. "I wear this angels crown to cover up my devils frown."- I believe that this means she is upset but she covers her sadness up. She fakes her happiness.

4. "I dream to make sleep less boring until there was you."- I feel like this part of the song means that she had a boring life. Not even her dreams were good. Until this guy came into her life. Then she felt complete.

5. "Photograph each day so we can live forever."- This obviously refers to taking pictures. She felt that taking a photograph of them together, means it would feel like they would last forever. She thought that it would mean something. She can look at the pictures and remember what was good in their relationship.

My Name Statement

My name means a lot to me. Not just in one way, but in many. It is like my title for who I am. If I do something morally wrong or just wrong in general then it all comes back to me and my name. I don't want people to hear my name and say, "That girl is bad news." or anything in that criteria. I want my name to be remembered as a good one. I want to be remembered as a good person who did good things in her life. If I were John Proctor, I would have done the same thing he did. I wouldn't want people to think I was once a witch and was friends with the devil. I wouldn't want to sale out my friends either! He did the right thing. He didn't want to soil his name for his life. Seems dumb but I wouldn't want to either.

I have many values in my life. Most consist of doing what's right for me or doing what is good for my future. Especially being good to other people and getting good grades. I wouldn't sale out a person to save myself from getting in trouble or anything like that. I would rather take my consequences for my actions. That's why I try and not do anything that will come back to me and bite me in the butt. I don't want to have to deal with it and get in trouble so that's why I try not to do anything wrong. But like any normal person, I still screw up every once in a while. Hey, it's life. I would still like to follow my values and keep my name clean. It's one of the main things for me to do in my life.

I can understand and relate to John Proctor in many ways. Not only do I want to keep my name like him, which I think he meant keeping it clean and not wanting people to hear it and say mean things or think wrong of him, but also the fact that people in the town heard rumors of him and assumed things about him. I can relate to that because some people assume that just because I have a piercing, I do bad things and do drugs etc. Which isn't true. Just like how people said John was a 'witch'. When he hadn't done anything remotely close to being one. Not many people know that pointing fingers or accusing people of things, can really hurt that persons reputation and their "name". That's why I choose not to do that. I value my name and that's why I have values for it. I'm sure everyone values their name in one way or another. Some just think of it differently than others.
