Candy Walls

Trust's song 'Candy Walls' delves into the complexities of love, healing, and the illusions that often accompany them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both enchanting and disillusioning. The phrase 'candy wall' serves as a metaphor for the sweet yet ultimately insubstantial barriers that people build around their emotions and relationships. These walls are alluring but fragile, representing the temporary and often deceptive nature of romantic connections.

The song's opening lines, 'So be it what it is / Just give it time and try your best to smile,' suggest a resigned acceptance of the situation, urging patience and a positive outlook despite underlying dissatisfaction. The mention of 'evening slime' and 'what a waste of time' further emphasizes the sense of disillusionment, as the protagonist grapples with the futility of their efforts to find genuine fulfillment. Yet, there is a persistent search for 'the things that make you come alive,' indicating a deep-seated desire for true emotional connection and meaning.

Healing is another central theme in 'Candy Walls.' The lyrics 'Healing comes down to this / It's why you're here / Oh, why you walk?' suggest that the journey of healing is intrinsic to the human experience. Holding hands and the reference to 'gamut boys' and 'millionaires' hint at the societal and historical influences on our perceptions of love and success. The song concludes with a sense of hope and resilience, as 'Her streak survives, in the night,' implying that despite the challenges and illusions, there is an enduring strength and potential for renewal.
