Transfixed Reflections: Bleary Eyed's Poetic Exploration of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
sit outside and watch you ride
Sitting outside, observing someone as they move forward.
I'm just a pesky boy I never try
Expressing a self-perception as a troublesome or bothersome individual who doesn't make an effort.
what's that fear there, you never know until you care
Reflecting on the fear that is present, emphasizing the realization of its existence when one starts to care.
always know too late when it's good I'll dare
Acknowledging a tendency to recognize the value of something only when it's too late to take action, expressing a willingness to take risks.
i'll just drag my knuckles dodging all that comes and goes
Describing a tendency to face challenges head-on, using the metaphor of dragging knuckles and navigating through life's ups and downs.
maybe i'm lacking passion moving a little bit too slow
Suggesting a potential lack of enthusiasm or drive, admitting to moving at a slower pace than necessary.
so transfixed, your subtle operations, they stop me for some time
Being captivated by someone's subtle actions, causing a pause in one's own activities.
calling out my bluff, the strangeness in our patience, we copy fall in line
Pointing out a challenge to one's bluff, noting the oddity in the patience displayed, and conforming to societal expectations.
hanging in the dill, am I just enough, we copy tell the lies
Questioning one's adequacy, admitting to conforming and telling falsehoods to fit in.
hold my body still, don't push me down too rough, lay me down and lie
Requesting a gentle approach, avoiding harsh treatment, and using imagery of lying down to convey vulnerability.
sit outside and watch you ride
Repeating the observation of someone's actions from a distance.
I'm just a pesky boy I never try
Reiterating the self-perception as a non-trying individual.
what's that fear there, you never know until you care
Revisiting the theme of fear and the importance of caring to understand it.
always know too late when it's good I'll dare
Reaffirming the tendency to realize the value of things too late, especially when they are good.
i'll just drag my knuckles dodging all that comes and goes
Continuing the metaphor of facing challenges, expressing a willingness to confront obstacles that come and go.
maybe i'm lacking passion moving a little bit too slow
Repeating the idea of a potential lack of passion or speed in moving through life.
you don't have to be so mean
Addressing someone directly, expressing a desire for them not to be unkind or hurtful.
you don't say what you mean
Highlighting a discrepancy between words spoken and true intentions or feelings.
