Foreign Language
Virtual Conversations: Unraveling the Foreign Language of Connection
Lyrics
I speak loudest when no one hears a thing
I express myself most strongly when no one is listening.
When we talk it's between a screen
Our conversations take place through a digital interface.
I saw you in a pixelated dream
I saw an idealized version of you in a dream.
The only you that I've ever seen
The version of you in my dreams is the only one I know.
Tried to touch you through glass I cut myself
Attempting to connect with you, I hurt myself through the barrier of glass.
If it’d worked then I probably would
If my attempt had succeeded, it might have caused more harm.
I could ask you a million different things
I have numerous questions for you.
Type my question in google search
Resorting to searching Google for answers to my questions.
Talking in a foreign language
We communicate in a metaphorical foreign language.
Speaking in a different tongue
Expressing ourselves in a different, perhaps complicated, way.
I don’t understand this madness
Feeling confused or disturbed by the current situation.
Tell me have we come undone
Questioning if our connection is falling apart.
Talking in a foreign language
We continue conversing in this metaphorical foreign language.
Speaking in a different tongue
Speaking in a way that is hard for me to comprehend.
I don’t understand you
I am unable to understand you.
It's been 10 minutes since you've said a word
It has been a while since you last spoke.
I’m starting to wonder where you go
Wondering where your mind goes during our silence.
Heard you smoke in the bathroom with your friends
Heard rumors about you engaging in risky behavior.
Never think of the other kids
Seemingly indifferent to the consequences for others.
Wanna see you with nothing on your skin
Desiring to see you vulnerable and exposed.
But I know that I shouldn't sin
Despite the desire, recognizing the need to avoid wrongdoing.
I keep breaking my own heart with my hands
Hurting myself emotionally with my own actions.
I hope this virtual friendship never ends
Expressing a wish for our virtual friendship to endure.
Talking in a foreign language
Continuing the conversation in our metaphorical language.
Speaking in a different tongue
Speaking in a way that remains difficult to understand.
I don’t understand this madness
Feeling perplexed and disturbed by the ongoing situation.
Tell me have we come undone
Questioning if our connection is unraveling.
Talking in a foreign language
Continuing to communicate in our metaphorical foreign language.
Speaking in a different tongue
Expressing ourselves in a way that remains elusive to me.
I don’t understand you
Still unable to comprehend your thoughts or feelings.
Tell me how you're doing
Seeking information about your well-being.
Tell me when you feel alone
Asking about your emotions when you're alone.
I'll be with you all day
Offering support and companionship throughout the day.
You can call me on the telephone
Available for communication via telephone whenever needed.
Tell me how your days been
Inquiring about the events of your day.
Why don’t you tell me what I’m doing wrong
Asking for guidance on what I might be doing wrong.
I'll be with you all night
Ready to be there for you throughout the night.
But you just call me on the telephone
Emphasizing the availability through a telephone call.
Talking in a foreign language
Continuing the conversation in our metaphorical foreign language.
Speaking in a different tongue
Expressing ourselves in a way that remains incomprehensible.
I don’t understand this madness
Feeling bewildered by the situation and questioning what we've become.
What have we become
Reflecting on the transformation of our relationship.
We've been talking
Reiterating that we've been talking.
We've been talking
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of our communication.
Yeah we've been talking
Confirming that our conversations persist.
And I don't understand you
Expressing continued difficulty in understanding you.
