Sharp Objects

Sorn's song "Sharp Objects" delves into the tumultuous and often perilous nature of love, using vivid metaphors to illustrate the emotional risks involved. The lyrics open with a reflection on the artist's mother's experiences, portraying love as a 'crazy game' that ultimately led to her downfall. This sets the stage for the central theme: the inherent danger in love, likened to walking on broken glass or playing with sharp objects. Despite witnessing the pain love caused her mother, Sorn admits to not learning from these lessons, suggesting a cyclical pattern of emotional risk-taking.

The chorus reinforces this idea, with the heart being described as cutting 'deeper than a knife.' The repetition of 'sharp objects' serves as a powerful metaphor for the emotional wounds that love can inflict. Sorn acknowledges the lack of guarantees in love, recognizing that it can lead to emotional bleeding. Yet, she embraces this danger, indicating a willingness to face the potential pain for the sake of the emotional highs that love can bring. This duality of fear and attraction to danger is a recurring motif, highlighting the complex nature of human emotions.

In the second verse, Sorn introduces the idea of her tongue being a 'razor blade,' suggesting that her words can be as cutting as the emotional wounds she endures. The comparison of love to 'running with scissors' further emphasizes the recklessness and thrill associated with romantic relationships. Despite the risks, Sorn finds herself drawn to this 'rush,' indicating a craving for the intense emotions that come with love. The song concludes with a repeated affirmation of playing with sharp objects, symbolizing a fearless embrace of the dangers of love, despite the potential for pain.
