Joan of Arkansas - Circa

Copied!

Time chews me up and spits me out
I've just learned to blend in with the crowd
Were heartbeats ever meant to be this loud?

This is my gothic phase
Circa 1982
My bad poetry
Revealed to you
I'm not bleeding out
Your red ink crossed me through
I'll wait now in the black
Like all true lovers do

Don't have the heart to fall in love again
I'll eat my words when I hit send
Death might win, but it is not the end

This is my post-war phase
Circa 1952
Confessions in a box
Kept hiddеn from you
The fading of the light
From telеvision blue
I'll wait now in the black
Like all true lovers do

edit description

"Joan of Arkansas" by Circa is a haunting and introspective ballad that delves into themes of heartbreak, loss, and self-discovery. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who feels lost and out of place in the world, struggling to find their place among the crowd. The song explores different phases of the protagonist's life, from a gothic phase in 1982 to a post-war phase in 1952, each one marked by pain and longing.

The protagonist's reluctance to fall in love again is palpable, as they grapple with their own insecurities and fear of getting hurt. Despite the darkness that surrounds them, there is a sense of resilience and strength in their words, as they vow to keep waiting in the black like all true lovers do. "Joan of Arkansas" is a poignant and evocative track that captures the complexities of human emotion and the enduring power of love.
