Conditional
Unveiling Secrets: Burden Brothers' 'Conditional' Emotion Journey
Lyrics
Curled up on the sofa with your tail between your legs
Expressing a vulnerable and defensive posture, feeling defeated or hurt.
I won't pretend that I know you, but I wish just one time
Acknowledging a lack of deep understanding but expressing a desire to connect on a personal level.
I could get inside your head
Wishing for insight into the other person's thoughts and emotions.
All the treasures that you're hiding
Referencing hidden emotional or personal aspects that are not easily revealed.
All your secrets never safe
Highlighting the idea that the secrets one keeps are not truly secure.
Are adding up to lines of frustration
Accumulation of undisclosed feelings leading to frustration, possibly visible in facial expressions.
I read it on your face
Observing and interpreting emotions through facial expressions.
You know I love you even when you run away from me
Expressing enduring love even in the face of distance or emotional withdrawal.
But I don't want to chase you any more
Declaring a desire to stop pursuing the other person actively.
So if you have to go away then I won't make you stay
Granting freedom to the other person to leave, suggesting an acceptance of their decisions.
Just lie awake and listen for the door
Suggesting staying awake and attentive for the possibility of the other person's return.
With a lack of direction
Describing a state of confusion or lack of purpose.
With eyes sad and red
Depicting sadness and weariness in the eyes.
In need of affection
Expressing a need for emotional connection and intimacy.
You wind up on my bed
Describing a scenario where the person ends up seeking comfort in the speaker's bed.
And all the treasures that you're hiding
Reiterating the presence of undisclosed treasures or emotions that are not kept secret.
You know they're never safe with me
Acknowledging that these hidden aspects are not secure within the speaker's presence.
Won't let you be my god
Rejecting the idea of placing the person on a pedestal as a god.
Won't let you be my slave
Rejecting the idea of controlling or dominating the other person as a slave.
What else is there left to be
Questioning the remaining possibilities or roles in the relationship.
You know I love you even when you run away from me
Reiterating love despite the other person's inclination to distance themselves.
But I don't want to chase you any more
Expressing a reluctance to actively pursue or chase the other person.
So if you have to go away then I won't make you stay
Allowing the other person the freedom to leave without resistance.
Just lie awake and listen for the door
Encouraging awareness and readiness for the other person's departure.
