The Shallow End
Unveiling Deceit: The Shallow End's Resilient Rebellion
Lyrics
You’re never gonna get the best of me
You won't overpower me or defeat me.
You’ll never make me feel cold and empty
You won't make me feel emotionally distant and unfulfilled.
You keep on wasting your time with this
You're wasting time with this situation or relationship.
I won’t become hollow when your mind is so narrow
I won't lose my substance when your thinking is narrow.
These thoughts you’re placing in my mind aren’t something to follow
The ideas you're influencing me with are not worth following.
I knew that this was too good to be true
I was aware that this situation was too good to be true.
But I kept living the lie
Despite knowing it was a lie, I continued to live it.
I knew you would not follow through
I expected you wouldn't follow through on your promises.
You tried hard to reel me in
You made a strong effort to attract me.
You won’t get under my skin
You won't deeply affect or disturb me.
Won’t be another trophy to show your friends
I won't be just another achievement for you to boast about.
You’re always so quick to love
You express love quickly and impulsively.
You know it’s never enough
Your love is consistently insufficient.
But you continue to keep this up
Despite this, you persist in your behavior.
It’s time to realize there’s so much more that’s on my mind
It's time to acknowledge there's more on my mind.
Portray the victim, I know what’s going on inside
Stop portraying yourself as the victim; I understand what's happening.
You buried me only way too deep
You've buried me metaphorically too deeply.
You’re my last mistake that I refuse to repeat
You're the last mistake I won't allow to happen again.
But don’t apologize
There's no need for apologies; I understand there's no sincerity.
I know that there’s no meaning
I've been misled by illusions that I can't stop pursuing.
I’ve been blinded by illusions that I can’t stop chasing
I'm losing faith in the various possibilities.
I’m losing all the faith I had in all the possibilities
You are unable to see beyond your self-centeredness.
You can’t see
You are blinded by your own vanity.
You’re blinded by the vanity
You brought this situation upon yourself.
You did this all to yourself
Reiterates the earlier effort to attract without success.
You tried hard to reel me in
You won't deeply affect or disturb me.
You won’t get under my skin
Reiteration of resilience against emotional impact.
Won’t be another trophy to show your friends
Refusal to be a mere accomplishment for others to brag about.
You’re always so quick to love
Your love is expressed hastily and inadequately.
You know it’s never enough
Consistent acknowledgment that your love falls short.
But you continue to keep this up
Despite shortcomings, the behavior persists.
And you know I’m always right
Asserting the correctness of one's perspective.
You stabbed me in the back for the last time
You betrayed trust for the final time.
It’s the same old story just a different fight
The situation is a recurring pattern with a new conflict.
You no longer take shelter in the depths of my mind
You are no longer finding refuge in my thoughts.
Your life has become a waste
Your life has become meaningless or wasted.
So why don’t you continue living in this mess of a guessing game
Suggests continuing to live in confusion and uncertainty.
While I sit back and try not to laugh
Observing the situation and refraining from amusement.
