Struggling Roles: Unveiling the Intricate Dance of Relationships
Lyrics
I don't want you to know too much about me, oh no
I want to keep certain aspects of myself private.
'Cause I know you'll take advantage of the words that I say
Fear that revealing too much will be taken advantage of.
You're looking for a way to depress me, make me pay
Concern about being manipulated or exploited.
You don't want me to be too close around you 'cause I would see
Avoiding closeness to prevent exposure of weaknesses.
All the weak sides that you got but which you're trying to hide
Awareness of hidden vulnerabilities in the other person.
You know that I would nail you if I could nurse my pride
Desire to protect one's self-esteem and assertiveness.
You're on the top when I am low
The other person thrives when the speaker is down.
As soon as you're fading I will grow
The speaker grows stronger when the other person weakens.
I don't like you, you don't like me
Mutual dislike and lack of harmony.
We're lacking energy
A shared deficiency in vitality or motivation.
Yeah, we're lacking energy, we do
Emphasizing the persistent lack of energy.
It's a mindgame we play, rule the roost, major cliche
Describing their relationship as a psychological game.
Yeah, one of us is fit, the other's going insane
Imbalance in mental well-being between the two.
And every time we think the positions will remain
Expectation that their roles will remain unchanged.
You're on the top when I am low
The other person excels when the speaker is in a low state.
As soon as you're fading I will grow
The speaker thrives when the other person is declining.
I don't like you, you don't like me
Reiteration of mutual dislike and disharmony.
We're lacking energy
Continuation of the shared lack of energy.
Yeah, we're lacking energy
Reinforcing the persistent deficiency in vitality.
So you got me up against the wall
Feeling cornered or pressured by the other person.
And I'm only waiting for your fall
Awaiting the other person's decline or failure.
I'll get back on top and be carefree
Anticipating personal recovery and carefree living.
It's not the end for me, no, it's not the end for me
Optimism about personal resilience and continuation.
I know we're thinking the same and our opponent's the one to blame
Shared recognition of a common mindset and blame on the opponent.
Thinking this way is not something that we both longed for
Reflecting on negative thoughts not mutually desired.
Living this way is something that we never did plan
Living in an unplanned and undesirable manner.
But I don't think we will change
Skepticism about the possibility of change.
'Cause we're stuck in roles as other's antipoles
Being stuck in opposing roles with the other person.
You're on the top when I am low
The other person prevails when the speaker is low.
As soon as you're fading I will grow
The speaker flourishes when the other person weakens.
I don't like you, you don't like me
Reiteration of mutual dislike and disharmony.
We're lacking energy
Continuation of the shared lack of energy.
Yeah, we're lacking energy
Reinforcing the persistent deficiency in vitality.
So you got me up against the wall
Feeling cornered or pressured by the other person.
And I'm only waiting for your fall
Awaiting the other person's decline or failure.
I'll get back on top and be carefree
Anticipating personal recovery and carefree living.
It's not the end for me, no it's not the end for me
Optimism about personal resilience and continuation.
It's not the end for me, no it's not the end for me
Reiteration of optimism and continuity.
It's not the end for me, no it's not the end for me
-It's not the end for me
