On The Hook
Unraveling Love's Illusion: On The Hook by cassetteplayerrr
Lyrics
She, she's not gonna stay
She is not going to stay.
She plays my heart strings like a puppeteer
She manipulates my emotions like a puppeteer controls strings on a puppet.
And then she's on her way
After influencing me, she departs.
She makes me scream
She causes me to yell or feel intense emotions.
It's not what it seems
Things are not as they appear; there's a discrepancy.
She's a magician with a deck of cards and a few tricks up her sleeve
She is skilled at deception, using tricks similar to a magician with cards.
Where you gonna go?
Questioning where she might be going.
What you gonna do?
Questioning what her future actions might entail.
I hope that you're okay
Expressing concern for her well-being.
Cos she's gonna be okay without you
Implying that she will manage fine without the person she's affecting.
Who you gonna be
Asking about the person's future identity.
Who you gonna see
Asking who the person will interact with or meet.
It's all about who you think of
Emphasizing the importance of who the person thinks about.
When I get from one to three
Indicating a situation when the person counts to three.
I tried a thousand times
Repeated attempts have been made.
To try and make you mine
Efforts made to establish a relationship with the person.
But every time I get you on the hook
Whenever there's progress with the person, the connection is lost.
I lose my line
Metaphorically losing the 'line,' possibly losing the chance or connection.
I tried a thousand times
Continued repeated efforts have been made.
To try and make you mine
Repeated attempts to form a relationship.
But every time I get you on the hook
Similar to line 17, whenever progress is made, it's interrupted.
I lose my line
Continued failure to maintain a connection or relationship.
She, she drives me up the walls
She frustrates or overwhelms me.
I Sit next to my phone for hours, waiting for her call
Waiting anxiously by the phone for her call.
She makes me weak
She weakens me emotionally.
Brings out my inner freak
Brings out an unconventional or hidden aspect of my personality.
I'd like to say I keep my cards close to my chest when I'm on a winning streak
I usually keep my strategies secret when I'm winning, but she changes that.
Where you gonna go?
Questioning where she might be going.
What you gonna do?
Questioning what her future actions might entail.
I hope that you're okay
Expressing concern for her well-being.
Cos she's gonna be okay without you
Implying that she will manage fine without the person she's affecting.
Who you gonna be
Asking about the person's future identity.
Who you gonna see
Asking who the person will interact with or meet.
It's all about who you think of
Emphasizing the importance of who the person thinks about.
When I get from one to three
Similar to line 14, indicating a situation when the person counts to three.
I tried a thousand times
Repeated attempts have been made.
To try and make you mine
Efforts made to establish a relationship with the person.
But every time I get you on the hook
Whenever there's progress with the person, the connection is lost.
I lose my line
Metaphorically losing the 'line,' possibly losing the chance or connection.
I tried a thousand times
Continued repeated efforts have been made.
To try and make you mine
Repeated attempts to form a relationship.
But every time I get you on the hook
Similar to line 38, whenever progress is made, it's interrupted.
I lose my line
Continued failure to maintain a connection or relationship.
