Lyrics
It only took a moment
Reflecting on a brief moment
And I painted you a thousand times
Expressing intense artistic repetition
Caught in your exposure
Captivated by your visibility
You're the Mona Lisa of my mind
Comparing you to the iconic Mona Lisa
I got a tendency of seeing what I want to see
Acknowledging a biased perception
This time I think its
Implying a recurring situation
Gonna get the best of me
Anticipating a challenging outcome
Well if you climb too fast, well you fall apart
Warning against rapid ascent leading to breakdown
Skip the test that you never started no
Choosing to avoid uninitiated challenges
If i'm not guilty, what am I running from?
Questioning motives and a sense of guilt
If i'm not guilty, what am I running from?
Repetition of the theme of questioning guilt
Was it the sun in the golden hour out on the water
Recalling a picturesque moment with the sun
Was it the little that you gave me
Acknowledging a meager contribution
That just made me want more
Expressing desire for more despite initial offering
I got a tendency of seeing what I want to believe
Admitting a tendency to believe in desired outcomes
Nothing bites harder than reality
Recognizing the harshness of reality
Well if you climb too fast, well you fall apart
Reiterating the caution against swift ascent
You skip the test that you never started no
Avoiding challenges that were never initiated
If i'm not guilty, what am I running from?
Repeating the questioning of guilt and evasion
If i'm not guilty, what am I running from?
Reiterating the theme of questioning guilt
Fruit turns to alcohol and perfume sours
Metaphorically depicting transformation and decay
You fall from the pedestal
Falling from a position of high regard
The champagne towers that I built
Referencing the construction of symbolic champagne towers
I built for you.
Attributing the creation of towers to the addressed person
I got a tendency of seeing what I want to see
Acknowledging the persistence of biased perception
This time it's got the best of me
Expressing defeat in the face of the situation
