Corduroy
Unveiling the Maze of Emotional Resistance in 'Corduroy'
Lyrics
The waiting drove me mad
The anticipation made me extremely anxious.
You're finally here and I'm a mess
You've arrived, and I'm emotionally unsettled.
I take your entrance back
I regret letting you into my life.
Can't let you roam inside my head
I can't allow your influence to occupy my thoughts.
I don't wanna take what you can give
I prefer not to accept what you have to offer.
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I'd rather go hungry than accept your assistance.
I would rather run but I can't walk
I would prefer to escape the situation, but I can't.
Guess I'll lie alone just like before
I'll be alone again as I was in the past.
I'll take the vermin's path
I'll choose a difficult path, and I won't take your challenge.
Oh, and I must refuse your test
I won't participate in your trial or examination.
A push me and I will resist
If pushed, I'll resist.
This behavior's not unique
This behavior is not exclusive to me.
I don't wanna hear from those who know
I don't want advice from those who claim to understand.
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes
They can buy things, but they can't understand my experiences.
I don't wanna limp for them to walk
I won't pretend to be something I'm not.
Never would have known of me before
No one would have noticed me before.
I don't wanna be held in your debt
I don't want to owe you anything.
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'll repay my debts with my own sacrifice.
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'm already emotionally damaged and partly defeated.
I'll end up alone like I began
I'll end up alone as I started.
Everything has chains
Everything in life has its limitations or constraints.
Absolutely nothing's changed
Despite external changes, internal aspects remain the same.
Take my hand, not my picture
Connect with me personally, not just through appearances.
Spilled my tincture
I've lost something valuable, possibly my essence.
I don't wanna take what you can give
I still don't want what you're offering.
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I'd rather go hungry than accept your support.
All the things that others want for me
Desires others have for me are unimportant.
Can't buy what I want because it's free
I can't obtain what I truly desire because it's intangible.
Can't buy what I want because it's free
The things I truly want cannot be bought.
Can't be what you want because I'm
I can't conform to your expectations.
Why ain't it supposed to be just fun
Life isn't just about duty; it should be enjoyable.
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
Accepting the natural course of life and death.
I figure I'll be damned
I anticipate facing challenges and hardships.
All alone like I began
Ultimately, I'll be alone as I started.
It's your move now
It's your turn to make a move or decision.
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you
Despite thinking of you as a friend, I find myself harboring resentment.
