Rearview
Breaking Free from the Past: A Foreign Affair's Rearview Revelation
Lyrics
Feeling jaded but what can I do
Feeling worn-out or exhausted, but uncertain of actions to take
Want to keep my eyes off of the rear view
Wanting to avoid dwelling on the past and its memories
Because I'm a sucker for the past and all the shit I put myself through
Admitting a tendency to be drawn to past experiences despite their negative impact
Whether I'm sober or drunk
Regardless of sobriety or inebriation, feeling emotionally distressed without the person
No matter what I'm still fucked up without you
Emphasizing the continued emotional turmoil without the mentioned individual
Can't live within the past I'm breaking through
Recognizing the need to move forward from the past
The further I'm away I see the truth
Realization dawns with distance, acknowledging the truth of the situation
Because I'm finally seeing through you
Finally perceiving someone's true nature
Now that I see you in the rearview
Seeing the person clearly, albeit in hindsight
Tell me lies and stab me in the back again
Referencing a history of deception and betrayal
Bleed me dry and act like it's nothing
Experiencing exploitation and disregard for emotions
You look so fake wearing your plastic smile
Calling out insincerity and superficiality in someone's demeanor
Say you're the victim when you're in denial
Accusing someone of playing the victim while denying their actions
Wish I could write you off
Expressing a desire to distance oneself from the person
Cause every time its not worth the cost
Weighing the emotional toll against the relationship's value
Can't live within the past I'm breaking through
Reiterating the necessity of moving past past grievances
The further I'm away I see the truth
Understanding becomes clearer with increased distance from the situation
Because I'm finally seeing through you
Continuing to perceive the true nature of the person after separation
Now that I see you in the rearview
Now seeing the person clearly only in hindsight
I'm doing everything I have to
Committing to actions necessary for moving forward without the person
To keep moving on without you
Determined to progress in life without the individual
Can't live within the past I'm breaking through
Reaffirming the need to break free from past influences
The further I'm away I see the truth
Understanding reality more clearly as distance grows from the past
Further away from you
Moving further away from the individual
Erased from my Rearview
Symbolizing the removal of the person from one's perspective and life
Further away from
Emphasizing the increasing distance from the person
Erased from my Rearview
Reiterating the removal of the person from one's perception
(Because I'm finally seeing through you
Reaffirming the clarity gained about the person in hindsight
Now that I see you in the rearview)
Reflecting on the clear perception of the person in retrospect
