Embracing Vulnerability: Commander Venus' Struggle with Conditional Love
Lyrics
I tell them every dream I've ever had
I openly share all my dreams with others
I tell them every place I've ever gone
I disclose all the places I've been to
And if there's a fear of empty space
If there's a fear of emptiness, I seek company
I need to be surrounded by someone
I feel a need to be surrounded by people
Waiting for a chance that things could change
I hope for a chance for positive change
Or spend another night among the dead
Or I might spend another night feeling emotionally dead
Searching for a calming presence
I'm searching for a calming and reassuring presence
I'm so excitable
I am easily excitable or prone to excitement
Nothing happens
No significant events or changes occur
I just can't go on
I feel unable to continue or move forward
Tell me why we have to live like this
Questioning the necessity of living in a challenging way
Waiting for a certain, distant fall
Waiting for an uncertain and distant downfall
Comfort is as unlikely as escape
Comfort is elusive, and escape seems unlikely
And love is always so conditional
Love is always conditional and not absolute
I'm tired of the tense and frightened looks
Fed up with tense and fearful expressions from others
Staring out these tired, anxious eyes
Looking through tired, anxious eyes
Looking for constant approval
Seeking constant approval from others
I'm so desirable
Feeling highly desirable or attractive
Nothing matters, I have to move on
Emphasizing that nothing really matters, and it's time to move forward
I have to move on. I have to move
Expressing the urgency to move on in life
I guess it's pretty self-destructive
Acknowledging a potentially self-destructive behavior
To ruin on what you create
Suggesting that ruining what one creates is a self-destructive act
What if I said it's more productive
Pondering whether it's more productive to self-destruct
Would you make a fool out of me?
Asking if admitting to self-destructive tendencies would be mocked
Because I'd make a fool out of you
Expressing a willingness to make a fool out of oneself
With your cool guitars and rock-star eyes
Describing someone with cool guitars and a rock-star image
Thrash metaltional on cue
Referring to a style of music and perhaps criticizing it as formulaic
Or is it hypocrites, like us
Pondering whether hypocrites like them fear the impact of truth
That fear what truth can do?
Suggesting a fear of what truth can reveal
