Shiver

Lacrimas Profundere's song 'Shiver' delves into the tumultuous emotions that accompany the end of a relationship. The lyrics are steeped in a sense of regret and confusion, as the narrator grapples with the aftermath of a love that has soured. The opening lines, 'For every harmony I tried to kill you,' suggest a deep-seated resentment and a desire to erase the memories of the relationship. This is further emphasized by the line, 'I hate our love for sure,' indicating a complete disillusionment with what once was.

The recurring theme of 'shiverings' throughout the song symbolizes the physical and emotional reactions to the pain of lost love. The narrator's struggle to understand the situation is poignantly captured in the lines, 'I thought everything's different and now I try to understand with my face in my hands.' This imagery evokes a sense of despair and helplessness, as the narrator is left to piece together the fragments of their broken relationship. The 'wasted lovely things' mentioned in the song highlight the futility of their efforts to salvage the love they once had.

The song also touches on the idea of mistakes and the inevitability of failure in relationships. The lines, 'and every little dumb there is a mistake, the tried could be wrong,' reflect the narrator's realization that their attempts to make things work were ultimately futile. The mention of 'another emptiness to fall in with our bad times' suggests a cycle of recurring pain and disappointment. Lacrimas Profundere's gothic rock style, characterized by melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics, perfectly complements the themes of sorrow and introspection in 'Shiver.'
