You look better when the lights are off
Embracing Change: Unveiling the New Me in the Shadows
Lyrics
Can't you see I can't find the humor
Struggling to find amusement, possibly due to a challenging situation.
It's in my head, the words that you said to me
Reflecting on words spoken, likely impactful and lingering in the mind.
You say you like the old me better
Acknowledging a preference for a past version of oneself.
But I've worked too hard to turn my back on the new me
Expressing resistance to abandoning personal growth efforts.
Can you please stop calling me
Requesting to cease communication, possibly due to negativity.
I can't stand to hear another complaint
Expressing discomfort with constant complaints.
Are you for or against my
Pondering the stance on hard-earned attempts at self-improvement.
Hard earned attempts to change
Questioning if others support or oppose personal changes.
Can't you see I can't find the humor
Reiterating the struggle to find humor, emphasizing difficulty.
In backhanded compliments from you
Frustration with insincere compliments, possibly undermining efforts.
You say you like the old me better
Noting a preference for a previous version, predicting disappointment.
I guess it tracks that you would fall through
Expecting that the preference for the old self will lead to disappointment.
You say the sweetest things
Acknowledging positive words but sensing hidden negativity.
Yet I know your intention's bitter
Recognizing deceptive intentions behind seemingly sweet remarks.
Say I look good when the lights are off
Receiving a compliment but under conditions of darkness, not authenticity.
So I'll flick the switch just so I can be with her
Choosing to be with someone despite insincere compliments.
Can't you see I can't find the humor
Reiterating difficulty finding humor in insincere compliments.
In backhanded compliments from you
Expressing frustration with recurring insincerity in compliments.
You say you like the old me better
Highlighting the anticipation of disappointment due to a preference for the old self.
I guess it tracks that you would fall through
Expecting a letdown in line with the predicted disappointment.
I have to work on myself right now
Prioritizing personal growth and self-improvement independently.
With or without you
Asserting independence and self-improvement regardless of external influence.
I think I'm done with trying
Expressing a sense of giving up on trying, possibly due to frustration.
I have to see this through
Determined to see personal development efforts through to completion.
