Lyrics

Apple of My Eye [Verse 1] It was love, at eleven eleven I took a bite, tasted like heaven You told me, everything I need Should’ve known, you were a bad seed [Chorus] Ooohhh…you were so shiny Then, you turned all slimy First, you were crisp Gave me everything, I wished I picked the, apple of my eye Made me believe, you were my guy I loved you, to your core You promised me, so much more You became, so rotten Then you left me, feeling forgotten Yeah…then you left me, feeling forgotten [Verse 2] I’m rotting in a love, so sour Wilting like, an old blossom flower You fed me dreams, with that smile I gave you an inch, you took a mile [Chorus] But…you were so shiny Then, you turned all slimy First, you were crisp Gave me everything, I wished I picked the, apple of my eye Made me believe, you were my guy I loved you, to your core You promised me, so much more You became, so rotten Then you left me, feeling forgotten Yeah…then you left me, feeling forgotten [Verse 3] You still look like, a bushel of gold Even if my heart, is covered in mold You tempt me, I want to take a bite Knowing damn well, I’ll fill with spite Because… [Chorus] You were so shiny Then, you turned all slimy First, you were crisp Gave me everything, I wished I picked the, apple of my eye Made me believe, you were my guy I loved you, to your core You promised me, so much more You became, so rotten Then you left me, feeling forgotten Yeah…then you left me, feeling forgotten [Chorus] Ooohhh…you were so shiny Then, you turned all slimy First, you were crisp Gave me everything, I wished I picked the, apple of my eye Made me believe, you were my guy I loved you, to your core You promised me, so much more You became, so rotten Then you left me, feeling forgotten Yeah…then you left me, feeling forgotten…

Relatable theme of seeing someone in a better light than they deserve. The different, not always obvious iterations of the metaphor of the apple (crisp, seed, sour, core, blossom, bushel, etc) is a great through-line with lots of sensory cues. It... read delicious! ;)

Thank you for taking the time to share this . I like writing with metaphors and this Skirmish was the perfect theme.

You took the time to make some art and share it with us and it deserves feedback :). Why I have a lot of time to devote to FAWM is not great, but I am very fortunate that I can treat this as my main focus right now and that includes trying to give thoughtful comments :).

I also like writing with metaphors and really appreciate clever lyrics and themes in the songs I listen to as well.

That "read delicious" was a reach for a pun on how your lyrics were 'tasty' to read keeping in the apple theme of Red Delicious apples, by the way, just in case that didn't come through before :)
