Tunnel Vision
Navigating the Maze of Love: Boy Bandicoot's Tunnel Vision
Lyrics
Don't you ever tell me that this was mine
Rejecting the idea that the situation belonged to the speaker.
Don't you try to tell me you wanted it all this time
Refusing to believe that the other person desired the situation all along.
You go the distance to put it on us.
Accusing the other person of going to great lengths to blame the speaker.
Oh you always self-destruct
Highlighting a pattern of self-destructive behavior by the other person.
You just keep talking so fast
Noting the fast-paced and possibly overwhelming nature of the other person's communication.
And I'm missing the most of it
Expressing difficulty in keeping up with the other person's words.
I'm on the red line to who the hell knows
Being uncertain about the direction of one's life ("red line to who the hell knows").
This car's packed tight and I'm fighting to focus
Feeling crowded and struggling to concentrate in a packed situation.
I'm not in control
Admitting a lack of control over the current circumstances.
You got so comfortable inside my head
Describing someone who became very comfortable influencing the speaker's thoughts.
You held me under while i tried to understand
Experiencing difficulty understanding the situation due to the other person's influence.
You're tunnel vision
Labeling the other person as having tunnel vision, possibly being narrow-minded or fixated.
You're a wolf on the hunt
Comparing the other person to a predatory wolf on the hunt.
I'm your decision
Acknowledging that the speaker is the decision the other person made.
I'm a rabbit on the run
Portraying the speaker as a vulnerable target ("rabbit") being pursued.
These are the big leagues kid, it's time to pay some attention
Indicating a shift to a more challenging situation and urging the other person to pay attention.
I'm in my head just digging my own way out
Being mentally trapped but attempting to find a way out.
You're such a walk off baby and you swung for the fences.
Describing the other person as leaving abruptly, taking a risk, and pursuing big goals.
And you've been hot on my heels since your feet hit the ground
Emphasizing the persistence of the other person since the beginning of the situation.
I'm not in control
Reiterating a lack of control over the unfolding events.
For a moment it was different
Recalling a moment when things were different and possibly more peaceful.
It was a deafening silence
Describing a silence that was overwhelmingly loud or significant.
I never thought I'd miss it
Expressing surprise at missing a past situation that was once undesirable.
How did I begin to let you inside?
Pondering how the other person gained access to the speaker's inner thoughts and feelings.
