Just Abuse Me
Love's Elusive Shadows: Air Traffic's Tale of Yearning
Lyrics
Never knew you
Expresses a lack of previous knowledge about the person being addressed.
But now I'm haunted by your past,
The speaker is troubled by the undisclosed history of the person, creating a haunting effect.
How long will this last?
Questioning the duration of the unsettling impact of the past on the present.
I thought you loved me,
Initially believed in the sincerity of love from the person.
You say you love me,
Despite the verbal expression of love, it is perceived as insubstantial—merely a fleeting shadow.
Loves just a shadow that you cast.
Love is portrayed as an ephemeral and intangible presence, not a concrete reality.
And all my dreams come round in threes always
Suggests a pattern of recurring dreams or thoughts, possibly related to the person.
I'm independent but I'm tied to you
The speaker acknowledges independence but acknowledges emotional ties to the person.
You lied to me, I'd die for you
Highlights a betrayal, a lie, but expresses a willingness to make sacrifices.
But I can't read your mind.
Expresses difficulty in understanding the person's thoughts and feelings.
I'm lost without you
Describes a sense of being lost when not in the company of the person.
An empty feeling deep inside
Conveys an inner emptiness and emotional void.
I want to run and hide
Desire to escape or avoid the distressing emotions by running and hiding.
I'll let you use me
Expresses a willingness to be used and mistreated by the person.
And just abuse me
Explicitly states a readiness to endure abuse for the sake of being with the person.
But girl I want you to be mine
Despite the willingness to be mistreated, the speaker desires a commitment from the person.
And all my dreams come round in threes always
Reiteration of recurring dreams or thoughts, emphasizing their persistence.
I'm independent but I'm tied to you
Reaffirms both independence and emotional ties to the person.
You lied to me, I'd die for you
Repeats the theme of betrayal and willingness to make a significant sacrifice.
But I can't read your mind.
Emphasizes the challenge of understanding the person's thoughts, reinforcing a sense of confusion.
And all my dreams come round in threes always
Reiteration of persistent dreams or thoughts, underscoring their ongoing influence.
I'm independent but I'm tied to you
Restates the simultaneous experience of independence and emotional entanglement.
You lied to me, I'd die for you
Repeats the theme of betrayal and the willingness to make significant sacrifices.
But I can't read your mind
Concludes with the ongoing difficulty of understanding the person's thoughts, leaving an unresolved tension.
