PAPERCUTS Lyrics – WesGhost

PAPERCUTS Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer is willing to endure pain and suffering for the person they love. They see themselves as flawed and feel like they’re giving too much emotionally, almost as if they are bleeding out because of their feelings.

[Verse 2]
The singer feels torn when they see their lover cry. They acknowledge the drama but seem to accept it, even admitting they are addicted to the emotional pain that comes with their intense connection.

[Verse 3]
The singer wants their lover to leave a lasting impact on their heart, symbolized by small “papercuts” that accumulate and eventually cause deep emotional pain, representing the gradual buildup of hurt.

[Chorus]
The singer expresses feeling unable to live without their lover’s love, feeling that life would be unbearable without them. They also admit the intensity of their feelings, referring to it as more than just a “crush.” They fear ruining the relationship and constantly carry emotional scars, symbolized by “papercuts.”

[Verse 4]
The singer seeks reassurance from their lover, asking them to promise not to leave. They fear that without the love of this person, they would end up alone, feeling lost and hopeless.

[Verse 5]
The singer is emotionally drained, feeling like they are wasting their energy on something that might not work out. Without their lover, they feel like they have nothing left to live for, indicating deep emotional dependency.

[Chorus]
In the chorus repetition, the singer again emphasizes their fear of losing their lover and how painful it would be to live without them. They can’t call the love a mere crush and are overwhelmed by the emotional weight of their feelings, still feeling the scars of their intense emotional experience.
