Ophelia

about

The latest single from Sinnober, re-imagining Ophelia.

lyrics

From your watchtower of privilege
You fixed your eyes on the horizon
Looking on and on
And what you saw was hardly surprising

No, you're no Prince of Denmark
But you like to keep me in the dark
Your courtiers pass me by
Never meeting my eye

Now I know
How Ophelia must have felt

You play your cards close to your chest
Duck and dive and second guess
Would it be so wrong to make a mess
Tell me

Sparring with my ego
Holding back and letting go
These fireflies are drowsy from the afterglow
And now I know
How Ophelia must have felt

Remember in our youthful folly
When you'd lay in my lap
Now I'm ushered to the door like a stranger at a party
Pity

You worshipped me in hidden places
Corridors away from prying faces
Tumbling down forgetting social graces

Now I know
How Ophelia must have felt

Rosemary for remembrance
Columbines for faithfulness
Rue for disdain
I'm quite the flower girl these days
