Avail

The song 'Avail' by The Burns delves into the complexities of love, emotional struggles, and the search for meaning in relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship, where love is both a source of joy and pain. The opening lines, 'Love is mine, pink wires/love is my pink wine,' suggest a sense of ownership and intoxication that love brings, but also hint at the fragility and entanglement that come with it. The mention of 'Rum and spite' further emphasizes the conflicting emotions that the narrator experiences.

The song's narrative continues with the narrator's introspection and attempts to make sense of their feelings. The line 'Closed eyes tryna picture us/Falling down, heavy hands' evokes a sense of weariness and the struggle to hold onto the relationship. Despite the challenges, the narrator still believes in the power of love, even though 'a lot of words are useless now.' This highlights the difficulty in communicating and expressing emotions effectively in the midst of turmoil.

As the song progresses, the narrator's vulnerability becomes more apparent. The repeated plea, 'Today you’ll fear, I'm begging you please,' underscores the desperation and longing for understanding and connection. The narrator acknowledges their own shortcomings, feeling 'slow and tired,' while also recognizing that their partner's 'heart is blind.' The recurring theme of wasting time until things are 'alright' reflects the uncertainty and hope that things will eventually improve. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the narrator tries to find solace in the small moments of connection, even if they are fleeting.
