"Bruises" by NGHTMRE & Grabbitz is a song about longing for someone who has been gone for a long time. The lyrics express the pain and emptiness the narrator feels in the absence of this person. The line "It's been way too long without you, It's been way too many weeks" suggests that the separation has been difficult and has lasted for an extended period of time. The mention of getting bruises on the knees when thinking about this person is a metaphorical representation of the emotional pain the narrator experiences. It symbolizes the vulnerability and helplessness they feel in their longing for the return of this person. The pain is described as slowly killing them, emphasizing the deep impact of their absence. The repetition of the phrase "One more week and 7 days" reflects the narrator's anticipation and desperation for this person to come back. However, there is skepticism expressed in the line "I don't believe a word they say," suggesting that they have been given false hope or empty promises about the person's return. The question of whether one more week and seven days will alleviate their pain implies that the narrator is unsure if this reunion will truly bring them solace. Overall, "Bruises" portrays a sense of longing, pain, and desperation in the absence of a loved one, while also highlighting the uncertainty and doubts that can accompany such circumstances.
