Between Us
Navigating Life's Complexities: Between Us by Brendan Benson
Lyrics
Some days I'm content to stay at home
Expressing contentment with staying at home on some days.
But other days I get restless
Acknowledging restlessness on certain days.
I can't stand to be alone
Discomfort with being alone.
Okay, I've been known to cry in my sleep
Admitting to crying in sleep, suggesting vulnerability.
But dreams often show what you don't want to know
Highlighting the revealing nature of dreams, contrasting with wakefulness.
When you're awake you're not so deep
Suggesting that introspection may not be as profound when awake.
Could be a bad habit I need to break
Contemplating breaking a potentially negative habit.
Or some kind of sentiment
Considering the possibility of feigning sentiment.
That I could learn to fake
Exploring the idea of pretending to feel certain emotions.
Maybe it's the devil in my ear
Suggesting internal conflict with an evil influence.
Averting his eyes and whispering lies
Describing deceptive whispers that go unnoticed.
So that no one can hear
Emphasizing secrecy and hidden motives.
There isn't anything between us
Asserting a lack of connection or intimacy between individuals.
Many times I listened to the things that people say
Reflecting on disagreement with societal opinions.
But many times I disagree
Expressing a different perspective from what others say.
And I see it a different way
Insisting on an alternative viewpoint.
Could say that it looks and tastes so real
Questioning the authenticity of appearances.
But I wouldn't mind if I went blind
Indicating a willingness to sacrifice a sense to gain insight.
Maybe then I'd learn how to feel
Expressing a desire to learn to feel more deeply.
Yes man, I'm so glad to be alive
Expressing gratitude for being alive and experiencing a beautiful day.
It's a beautiful day and my girl is okay
Highlighting the well-being of a significant other.
So we go out for a drive
Choosing to go for a drive as an enjoyable activity.
Yes sir, I haven't felt my right in my head
Acknowledging a sense of imbalance in mental well-being.
There's no getting dressed when I get depressed
Describing the difficulty of getting dressed when feeling depressed.
I don't want to leave my bed
Expressing reluctance to leave the comfort of the bed.
There isn't anything between us
Reiterating the absence of a meaningful connection between individuals.
