I.D.C.A.L
Trust Struggles: Unveiling the Emotional Turmoil in Brandon Colbein's I.D.C.A.L
Lyrics
I know I know, we both been lying
The speaker acknowledges that both parties have been dishonest.
Really good intentions but we leave each other crying
Despite good intentions, their actions lead to mutual sadness.
I know I know
Reiteration of knowing about the situation.
I know
Emphasizes the acknowledgment of the situation.
I know I know, we both been trying
Both have been making an effort, but the speaker believes their effort surpasses the other's.
Appreciate the effort but it’s not at good as mine
The speaker appreciates the effort but feels their own efforts are greater.
And that’s fine
Acceptance that the situation is okay as it is.
Probably said it once or twice
Indicating a repetition of expressing a sentiment.
But I really mean it this time
The speaker is emphasizing the sincerity of their statement this time.
If I can't have your trust, I don’t care about
The speaker prioritizes trust over love.
Love,
Mention of love as a secondary concern.
Think we've been through enough
Implying they've faced challenges together.
I’m not giving up yet, not on
Expresses determination not to give up on the relationship.
Us,
Reaffirmation of commitment to the relationship.
If I can’t have your trust,
Reiterating the importance of trust over love.
I don’t care about love
Reiterating the prioritization of trust over love.
I let it go, let let it go
Letting go of something, but it resurfaces unexpectedly.
But now it’s creepin' up on me just like a fucking ghost
The resurfacing of a troubling issue similar to a haunting ghost.
Just like a fucking ghost
Emphasis on the haunting nature of the recurring issue.
I know I know, I said that I chill
Initially claiming to be calm, now overwhelmed by uncertainty.
Now it’s overwhelming cuz I never know what’s real
Feeling overwhelmed due to an inability to discern reality.
Never know what's real, no
Reiterating the uncertainty about reality.
Probably said it once or twice
Similar to line 8, repeating the sentiment.
But I really mean it this time
Emphasizing the sincerity of the statement once more.
If I can't have your trust, I don’t care about
Reiterating the importance of trust over love.
Love,
Love is secondary to trust in the speaker's priorities.
Think we've been through enough
Implying they've faced challenges together.
I’m not giving up yet, not on
Determined not to give up on the relationship.
Us,
Reaffirmation of commitment to the relationship.
If I can’t have your trust,
Reiterating the importance of trust over love.
I don’t care about love
Reiterating the prioritization of trust over love.
I don’t care about love
Strongly emphasizing the lack of concern for love without trust.
If you can’t earn back trust
If trust isn't regained, there's a consequence of separation.
I’ll be packing up your stuff
Packing belongings if trust is not restored, while experiencing emotional distress.
While crying my eyes out
The emotional difficulty of packing belongings due to a loss of trust.
I don’t care about love
Reiterating the lack of concern for love without trust.
If you can’t earn back trust
Repetition of consequence for a failure to regain trust.
