Sugarplum Elegy Lyrics

Seven months older
Air's getting cold, our bed's startin' to creak
God knows where you are
I'm here waiting for love through a screen

You show me the outfit you chose
For the dinner and tonight's show
Must be nice to be your clothes

Second to none even at your worst
Sometimes I wish you'd put me first
Nowadays you're such a blur

We keep dancing around the innocent truth that we're just

Out of time (ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise

I love you too much to stay in love

How are you darling? How are you, really?
How was Taiwan? (you never say)
Thanks for the flowers, but you've been here hours
Yet your coat's still very much on

Tiptoein' around the bitter truth but we both know

It's just time (ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise

Great was our love, it was one for the books
We gave it the best we could
But I won't recite all my lines just to watch you and I lie

I'm so proud I got to love you once

What is the Meaning of Sugarplum Elegy?

In this emotional ballad, NIKI paints a picture of a relationship that's slowly fading away. The lyrics are filled with longing and confusion, as she waits for her partner to show the same level of commitment and affection she does. She feels like an afterthought in his life, always second to other things. There's also a sense of denial and avoidance, with both parties refusing to admit that their relationship is nearing its end. The song is a poignant reminder that sometimes love isn't enough to keep two people together. It takes courage to recognize when it's time to let go and move on, even if the love was great once. #UnrequitedLove #LettingGo
