Upside Down
Love's Conflicting Perspectives: Sinking Emotions
Lyrics
I always see things
I perceive things
Opposite
In a contrary manner
Of the way things are
To how they actually are
'Cause the boat we built didn't get that far
The endeavor or plan we attempted didn't succeed
'Cause the waves crashed in
Because challenges arose
Yeah the waves crashed in
Yes, difficulties emerged
Yeah we stayed crashing
Yes, we kept encountering problems
Every time we tried to try again
Each time we attempted to start anew
We tried to stay afloat
We endeavored to remain buoyant
Because we loved each other
Because of our affection for each other
At least we thought we did
At least we believed so
But our ideas for love were just different
But our perceptions of love differed
I guess I didn't know what you was waiting on
I lacked awareness of what you were anticipating
I guess you didn't see what I was patient for
You didn't notice what I was patiently hoping for
I guess our love went
Our love moved in separate paths
In different directions
When I attempted to confront it
When I tried to address it
I only made it more chaotic
I just made it messy
I tried to articulate my thoughts
I tried to explain the thoughts inside my brain
But when I spoke
When the words came out
Challenges arose again
The waves crashed in
And I ruined this attempt once more
And I sank this boat
Because I consistently perceive things differently
Once again
I'm aware that I keep speculating
'Cause I always see things
I struggle with various aspects
From a twisted perspective
Even the current moment is challenging for me
I know I keep guessing
I allocate time solely for music creation
I struggle with things
Fearful of communicating
Including the present
So I immerse myself in analyzing these uncertainties
I only make time for these studio sessions
I consistently tend to overthink
Afraid to talk
I genuinely desire to learn how to preserve what I value
So I study these questions
Instead of pretending not to care about anything
And I always seem to over analyze
I only seem to care about
I really wish that I could learn how to hold on to things that I cherish
Everything
Instead of pretending and acting like I'm never caring bout anything
Everything affects me profoundly
I only care about I don't know
I reckon that's why you departed in the end
Everything
I perceive that every situation has drawbacks
Everything always seems to effect me
Everyone must make choices
I guess in the end yeah that's why you left me
You made your decision
I see everything has a downside
I wished you had chosen differently
Everybody has to pick a side
I desired you to align with my choice
You picked yours
You chose your path
I guess I just wished you had picked mine
I hoped you'd chosen mine
