IMPRESSIONS
Illusions of Love: Unveiling the Cruel Charade in Buoy Blaise's IMPRESSIONS
Lyrics
I should've known that from the start
I regret not realizing this from the beginning
That you would just parade and then depart
Anticipated that you would only briefly showcase and then leave
Your first impression I forgot
I ignored the initial impression you made
You're only as good as the last impression
Your value is determined solely by the most recent impression you leave
That you make on me
Referring to the impact you have on my emotions
You marched up to my heart
You approached my emotions, not to protect, but to cause harm
Not to protect, to tear apart
The responsibility is mine
The blame is on me
Blaming oneself for being deceived
You have made me a fool
You've made me look foolish
By leading me on
Deceived by false promises or actions
I know you
Claiming familiarity with your behavior
You have made me a fool
Feeling foolish due to manipulation
By leading me on
Despite being led astray
I know
Understanding the deception
You gave the illusion of true love
You presented a false image of true love
A mirage, a fantasy
An illusion or deceptive perception
You were just acting all along
You were pretending all along
Took me to Paris in my mind
Symbolic journey to a romantic place (Paris) in thoughts
We travelled in those scenes
Experiencing moments in imagination
We were just playing against green screens
Relationship portrayed as insincere, like acting against green screens
Your city of love's a city of lies
Your love is not genuine; it's a facade
I shouldn't be surprised
Expressing disappointment but not entirely surprised
I was less than wise
Admitting a lack of wisdom in trusting you
Thinking to trust you
A realization of misplaced trust
The Academy Award for being cruel
Comparing betrayal to receiving an award for cruelty
That Oscar goes to you
You deserve recognition for causing pain
Congratulations
Sarcastic congratulations for the hurt inflicted
You have made me a fool
Feeling foolish again due to continued deception
By leading me on
Acknowledging knowledge of the deceit
I know that you know
Recognizing mutual awareness of the deception
You have made me a fool
Being made a fool repeatedly
Leading me on and on
Continuous deception leading to feeling deceived repeatedly
You have done that to me
Admitting the impact of the deceptive actions
I know you
Reiterating familiarity with the deceptive behavior
You have made me a fool
Expressing feeling foolish once more
By leading me on
Acknowledging the repetitive deception
I know
Understanding the repeated deceit
I need to be more careful
Realizing the need for caution in matters of the heart
When it comes to my heart
Regret for not being more cautious from the beginning
I should've known that from the start
Reiteration of the regret for not anticipating deception
That you would just parade and then depart
Expectation that you would only briefly showcase and then leave, repeated from the start
Your first impression I forgot
Repeating the forgetting of the initial impression made by the person
You're only as good as the last impression
Reiterating the importance of the most recent impression
That you make
Emphasizing the significance of the last impression made
That you make (that you make)
Repetition of the importance of the last impression
That you make (that you make)
-That you make
Final emphasis on the impact of the last impression
