What You Wanna Hear
Sincerity in Shadows: Decoding Beth Bombara's Emotional Tale
Lyrics
Can we skip the part where we start yelling
Expressing a desire to avoid the typical conflict phase in a relationship.
Like banshees on a bender all across the town
Comparing the intensity of arguments to wild, loud, and chaotic behavior.
Another log thrown on the fire
Adding fuel to the emotional fire by bringing up past issues.
Blaming all our ghosts that keep hanging round
Attributing relationship challenges to lingering emotional baggage.
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Promising to say things that the listener wants to hear.
Doesn't mean that I'm insincere
Acknowledging that saying what the listener wants doesn't imply insincerity.
Honestly I want to believe it
Expressing a genuine desire to believe the positive words being spoken.
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Repeating the commitment to say what the listener desires.
Maybe I'm a little insecure
Admitting to personal insecurities that might influence the communication.
Honestly I'm playing your fool
Confessing to playing a role that may not be genuine in the relationship.
Now you're drifting up above the clouds
Describing a sense of detachment or distance in the relationship.
Throwing a cold shadow on the ground
Symbolizing negativity or challenges casting a metaphorical shadow.
Our differences, strangely similar
Highlighting the paradoxical similarities in their differences.
When we lay our armor down
Suggesting vulnerability when both partners lower their defenses.
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Reiterating the commitment to say pleasing things without insincerity.
Doesn't mean that I'm insincere
Emphasizing that saying what the listener wants doesn't equate to insincerity.
Honestly I want to believe it
Expressing a genuine desire to believe in the positive words being communicated.
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Restating the intention to communicate what the listener desires.
Maybe I'm a little insecure
Acknowledging personal insecurities that may influence communication.
Honestly I'm playing your fool
Admitting to playing a role that might not be authentic in the relationship.
