Wishing
Regretful Reflections: Unveiling Lies and Longing for Redemption
Lyrics
I won't forget that private eye
Expressing regret or acknowledgment of being caught by a private investigator.
That found me out and told you all my lies
Referring to the revelation of personal deceit to the listener, possibly by the investigator mentioned in line 1.
I promised truth swore to you peace
Highlighting a broken promise to be truthful and provide peace in the relationship.
Always keeping both out of your reach
Suggesting a pattern of keeping truth and peace distant from the partner.
It's no surprise I don't see love in your eyes
Noting the absence of love in the partner's eyes, possibly as a consequence of previous deceit.
I turned these hearts into a mess
Acknowledging the speaker's role in causing emotional chaos in relationships.
I need this medicine more than I need my friends so I'm wishing
Expressing a reliance on some form of "medicine" (possibly escapism or coping mechanisms) more than friendships.
I'm wishing it all away
Conveying a desire to escape or eliminate the consequences of past actions through wishing.
I gave it up ran out of luck
Admitting to giving up or losing hope, possibly in the context of the relationship.
Once we started lying to ourselves
Highlighting self-deception as a destructive force in the relationship.
Apologies you threw at me
Receiving apologies, but acknowledging personal responsibility for the situation.
No one is to blame here but myself
Accepting blame for the relationship's problems and failures.
It's no surprise I don't see love in your eyes
Reiterating the absence of love in the partner's eyes as a recurring theme.
I turned these hurts into a mess
Acknowledging the speaker's contribution to emotional pain in the relationship.
I need this medicine more than I need my friends so I'm wishing
Reiterating the dependence on "medicine" over friendships for solace.
I'm wishing it all away
Expressing a strong desire to escape or erase the consequences of past actions.
Yeah I'm wishing I'm wishing it all away
Repeating the theme of intense wishing and desire to eliminate the past.
Yeah I'm wishing I'm wishing it all away
Reaffirming the strong desire to escape or erase the consequences of past actions.
