Rival
Rivalry Unveiled: A Tide Pool Love Story by Charles Fauna
Lyrics
Make your bed in a tide pool
Choosing an unconventional or uncomfortable place to settle or rest
Just the place I would find you
Finding you in an unexpected or peculiar location
Got me breaking my own rules
Acting against one's own established guidelines or principles
Hurt myself just to reach you
Causing self-harm in an attempt to connect or approach you
I could be your rival
Offering oneself as a challenger or competitor
I could be your rival
Reiteration of the willingness to be a rival
If you want a rival
Expressing readiness to compete if desired
Let me be your rival
Requesting permission to assume the role of a rival
See your face like a blood moon
Seeing your appearance like a significant, possibly ominous event
Stretch my arms to the sinew
Extending oneself to the limit or edge of endurance
Hit me square in the jawbone
Receiving a significant blow or impact
Maybe then I will hear you
Expecting that only through pain will communication or understanding occur
I could be your rival
Expressing the desire to be a competitor
Let me be your rival
Reiteration of the desire to assume the role of a rival
Well you don't make me feel so great
Feeling diminished emotionally in the presence of the person
But I'm worth talking to
Asserting self-worth despite the negative impact of interactions
Yeah you just make me feel so young
Feeling rejuvenated or youthful around the person
I think I'm stuck to you
Suggesting a strong attachment or difficulty detaching from the person
Make your bed in a tide pool
Repeating the idea of choosing an uncomfortable or unconventional place to settle or rest
Just the place I would find you
Reiteration of finding you in an unexpected or peculiar location
I've got nothing left baby
Declaring having nothing left to offer or provide
There's nothing here for you
Acknowledging a lack of anything valuable for the person
But I'll be your rival But I'll be your rival
Committing to remain a rival despite having nothing else to offer
