Lyrics

Go ahead

Expression of permission or encouragement to proceed

Fuck up my head

An invitation for someone to disturb or confuse the speaker emotionally

You confuse me

Acknowledgment of feeling perplexed or misled

How could you be

Questioning the nature of the person's unreadable or mysterious behavior

So unread

Expressing the emotional impact of the person's actions as unsettling or unclear

When instead

Suggesting an alternative, more transparent way of being

You could be known

Encouraging the person to be recognized or understood by others

Not untold

Highlighting the contrast between being known and remaining a mystery

Fencing, and I'm defending

Reference to a fencing metaphor, possibly indicating a defensive stance in the relationship

With my mind, when I'm designed

Connecting mental defense with personal design or nature

The wrong way, I can tell I'm the prey

Awareness of being the prey, possibly in a challenging or conflicting situation

Everything, is astray

Feeling of disorder or chaos in everything

Go ahead

Reiteration of the permission or encouragement to disrupt the speaker emotionally

Fuck up my head

Repetition of the idea of allowing emotional disturbance

You confuse me

Restating the confusion caused by the person's actions

How could you be

Questioning the unreadable nature of the person

So unread

Reiteration of the impact of the person's behavior as unclear or mysterious

When instead

Encouraging the person to be known instead of remaining a mystery

You could be known

Emphasizing the choice between being recognized or staying untold

Not untold

Reiteration of the desire for the person to be known

Remember forgetting the setting

Recalling a memory of forgetting the initial meeting's context

Where we first met

Specifically mentioning the place where the first meeting occurred

You never surrender the truth that

Emphasizing the person's reluctance to admit they didn't like the speaker back

You didn't like me back

A shared awareness that the person didn't reciprocate feelings

We both know that

Confirming mutual understanding of the situation

They tell me to come around

Being advised to express true feelings when coming around

And tell them just how I feel

A desire to share emotions but recognizing an obstacle or limitation

Oh right I can't

Realization of a constraint preventing honest expression

All I want to do is act upon

Expressing a yearning to act on contemplations

The things that I ponder on

Desire to act on deep thoughts or reflections

Yet on I think

A continuation of contemplating actions or decisions
