Dragon Teeth
Broken Reflections: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Now for the first time
Expressing a new perspective or realization
I can look past my eyes
Gaining insight beyond superficial observations
Stare through the strain of light
Looking through challenges or difficulties
Wondering why
Questioning the reasons behind challenges
Tell me who did this to me?
Seeking to identify the cause of personal struggles
Did I do this to me?
Reflecting on self-inflicted hardships
There's gotta be a reason you don't look safe to me
Expressing concern about someone's perceived danger
I cage myself
Feeling confined or restricted
And you turned to someone else
Noticing a shift in someone's attention to another person
It's not my fault that you're broken
Denying responsibility for someone else's emotional state
It's not my fault that you're hurting, no
Emphasizing innocence in causing emotional pain
You want to fill my needs
Expressing dissatisfaction with inconsistency
With your inconsistency
Noticing a discrepancy in meeting emotional needs
How can you hold me when you're building your dreams?
Questioning the ability to receive support when partner is focused on personal goals
Won't you listen to me?
Seeking attention and understanding
Can you listen to me?
Reiterating the need for active listening
Your voice is nothing but static
Describing partner's communication as disruptive or unclear
But it won't affect me
Asserting personal resilience against negative influences
I cage myself
Repetition of feeling confined or restricted
And you turned to someone else
Reiteration of partner turning to someone else
It's not my fault that you're broken
Denying responsibility for partner's emotional state
It's not my fault that you're hurting, no
Emphasizing innocence in causing partner's pain
I'm torn up and insensitive
Feeling emotionally torn and numb
And if you think I care it's denial, oh
Rejecting the perception that one cares, possibly due to denial
And I'm sorry that I can't
Expressing regret for inability to simplify someone's life
Simplify your life
Acknowledging difficulty in understanding or relating to another's experiences
And I'm sorry that I can't Sympathize
Apologizing for inability to empathize
And I'm sorry that I can't
Reiterating regret for inability to simplify someone's life
Simplify your life
Reiterating apology for inability to empathize
And I'm sorry that I can't
Repetition of apology for inability to empathize
Sympathize
Continued expression of regret for inability to empathize
It's not my fault that you're broken
Denying responsibility for partner's emotional state (repeated)
It's not my fault that you're hurting, no
Emphasizing innocence in causing partner's pain (repeated)
I'm torn up and insensitive
Reiterating feeling emotionally torn and numb
And if you think I care it's denial, oh
Rejecting the perception that one cares, possibly due to denial (repeated)
