Low Expectations
Struggling with Shadows: Unveiling the Depth of 'Low Expectations'
Lyrics
Let me set the stage
Expressing readiness to begin or create a situation.
Freshly out my cage
Just released from confinement or restraint.
And I'm confronted with your face
Facing the presence of the person being addressed.
Your symmetry
Referring to the beauty or balance of the person.
Is beyond me
Expressing awe at the extraordinary beauty or balance.
And I'm where I need to be
Feeling content and in the right place.
Breathing devils air
Experiencing a challenging or unpleasant situation.
You ask of everywhere
Inquiring about various places.
And darling it's not fair
Expressing dissatisfaction with a situation perceived as unjust.
But I'm not one to share
Not inclined to share with others.
But I'm stricken with your stare
Feeling captivated by a gaze.
Cause I don't want to care
Expressing a desire not to be emotionally invested.
And don't ask how far this goes
Discouraging inquiries about the depth of emotions.
Because I might have to go
Expressing willingness to leave once lack of experience is revealed.
Once my inexperience shows
Acknowledging a potential revelation of inexperience.
And I hope that you never have to know
Hoping the other person remains unaware of certain aspects.
How I lie just like a pro
Admitting to skillful deception.
And keep my expectations low
Intending to maintain low expectations.
Of everyonе we could have been
Reflecting on the possibilities of the relationship.
You are you and I am me
Acknowledging individual identities within the relationship.
We got up and changed the scene
Having made a change in the environment or situation.
I'm still here and you're still keen
Remaining interested or eager despite changes.
Nothing's as simple as it seems
Highlighting the complexity behind apparent simplicity.
There's nothing I won't say
Willing to say anything to encourage the other person to stay.
To try get you to stay
Expressing a desire for the other person to appreciate the current situation.
Say, how nice is this place?
Inquiring about the pleasantness of the current situation.
So I lie about my age
Providing false information about one's age.
Like an actor on a stage
Drawing a parallel with acting on a stage.
And I'm not even phased
Remaining unaffected or undisturbed.
So don't ask how far this goes
Reiterating a reluctance to delve into emotional depth.
Because I might have to go
Expressing a willingness to leave if inexperience is exposed.
Once my inexperience shows
Acknowledging the potential revelation of inexperience.
And I hope that you never have to know
Hoping the other person remains ignorant of certain aspects.
How I lie just like a pro
Admitting to skillful deception.
And keep my expectations low
Intending to maintain low expectations.
I'm still here and
Reaffirming continued presence.
You're still here and
Reiterating the ongoing presence of the other person.
I'm still here and
Reaffirming continued presence.
You're still here
Reiterating the ongoing presence of the other person.
