Pleasantries
Unveiling Hidden Desires: Pleasantries Explored
Lyrics
What's in between all those pleasantries?
Reflecting on the substance beneath surface-level niceties and politeness.
How do you think most times?
Inquiring about the predominant thoughts and mindset.
I've been searching for some passion for my actions
Expressing a quest for genuine passion in actions.
Now you know that its full price
A realization that authenticity comes at a cost.
You know how and you know why
Acknowledging understanding of the situation and its reasons.
You're not the bedroom type
Commenting on someone not fitting the stereotype associated with intimate settings.
Nightly fading, just what are you celebrating?
Raising questions about the meaningfulness of celebratory actions.
Old fashions burn your short fuse dry
Noting that traditional behaviors may deplete one's patience quickly.
Whatever this is, the pleasure's all his
Attributing pleasure to someone else in an undefined situation.
Endlessly trailing my dreams
Continuously pursuing personal dreams, possibly without resolution.
No need to pretend I want you instead
Rejecting pretense and expressing a genuine desire for someone.
To council her excellency
Suggesting the need to advise or support someone in a position of authority.
Can't be the first to say you're the worst
Declaring a reluctance to be the first to criticize or blame.
Surely there's one or two
Speculating on the existence of others who share similar sentiments.
I care more if you act as though you like me
Valuing genuine actions over mere expressions of affection.
Then if you really do
Emphasizing the significance of authentic feelings.
Living a lie to a song you can't hide
Living a falsehood to a melody that cannot be concealed.
The paintings are still in the tube
Referring to unfinished or unrealized artistic endeavors.
I needed to fall, you need not crawl
Expressing a need to experience a downfall without external assistance.
I punish myself with you
Choosing to endure self-inflicted punishment in the company of another.
What was between all those pleasantries
Revisiting the search for substance beneath pleasantries.
What did you hope you'd find?
Pondering the expectations and outcomes of the search.
I was waiting for the chance you never gave me
Expressing anticipation for an opportunity that never materialized.
I'm still working on my line
Indicating an ongoing effort to articulate thoughts or feelings.
