In the Blink of an Eye
Love Strikes Unseen: Blink of Destiny by Adrian Sipin
Lyrics
It must have been destiny
Expressing a belief in preordained fate or destiny.
Wasn't looking for anyone
Was not actively seeking a romantic partner.
I was happy to coast along
Content with the current state of life, not actively pursuing change.
What I had was enough
Content with what was already possessed or achieved.
Then one day you're there
Suddenly, someone new appears in life.
Didn't know what hit me
Caught off guard and unaware of the impact of this new person.
In the blink of an eye
Emphasizing the rapidity with which emotions changed.
I'm in love
Realization of being in love.
Could the universe be punishing me
Reflecting on whether life's circumstances are a form of punishment.
For the way that I've lived my life
Questioning one's past actions and decisions.
Didn't care to be too tied down
Preference for freedom and avoiding commitment.
Just wasn't my style
Personal style characterized by avoiding being tied down.
Then one day you're there
Reiteration of the sudden appearance of the significant other.
Didn't know what hit me
Repeating the feeling of being caught off guard emotionally.
In the blink of an eye
Reaffirming the swiftness of falling in love.
I'm in love
Reiteration of the realization of being in love.
But there's a catch in this story
Introducing a complication or challenge in the narrative.
'Cuz I'm not sure you see me
Expressing uncertainty about whether the other person notices or acknowledges the speaker.
So I'll ignore it's one-sided
Acknowledging a potential one-sided nature of the affection.
Hang around as a friend
Choosing to remain in the person's life as a friend despite one-sided feelings.
It must have been meant to be
Reaffirming a belief in destiny or meant-to-be scenarios.
Every time that I say to myself
Internal dialogue about the likelihood of mutual feelings.
Will you ever feel the same way
Questioning whether the other person will reciprocate the feelings.
Or should I give up, should I give up
Contemplating whether to persist or give up on pursuing the relationship.
'Cuz one day you looked at me
Highlighting a specific moment when the other person's perception changed.
Very differently
Describing a shift in the way the other person looks at the speaker.
I get lost in your eyes
Experiencing a captivating and intense connection through eye contact.
I'm in love
Reiterating the realization of being in love, intensified by the gaze.
It must have been meant to be
Reaffirming the belief in destiny or meant-to-be scenarios.
Every time that I say to myself
Continuation of internal questioning about mutual feelings.
Will you ever feel the same way
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the other person's emotions.
Or should I give up, should I give up, ooh
Revisiting the internal debate of whether to pursue or give up.
'Cuz one day you looked at me
Recalling the moment when the other person's gaze changed.
Very differently
Emphasizing the profound shift in perception by the other person.
In the blink of an eye, I'm that guy
Expressing a personal transformation into someone deeply in love.
Who's in love
Reiteration of the swift transition into being in love.
In the blink of an eye
Reaffirming the rapidity of falling in love.
I'm in love
Final acknowledgment of being in love, concluding the narrative.
