Lyrics
You're on the outside looking in
You feel excluded or distant, observing from the periphery.
On the outside looking in
Reiteration of being an outsider, looking in.
I want to see you again
Expressing a desire to reconnect or meet again.
But all these feelings perforated
Emotions are fragmented or pierced, causing distress.
So I'm run into the ground
Feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
I'll forgive but not forget
Willing to forgive but not willing to forget past experiences.
I wanted something to regret
Desiring something to regret, suggesting a complex emotional state.
So tell me what it is
Seeking clarity on a certain matter or situation.
You're on the outside looking in
Reiteration of the feeling of being an outsider, looking in.
So let it burn
Encouraging the experience of intense emotions, possibly painful.
Ignite the fire with me
Inviting someone to join in an intense emotional experience.
Watch the tears run dry
Observing the cessation of tears, implying emotional healing.
Retreat, then placate, and play the game
Engaging in a cycle of withdrawal, appeasement, and playing games.
Falling back on words
Falling back on previously spoken words.
That you preach but did not speak
Criticizing the inconsistency between preaching and actual speech.
Challenged once, challenged twice
Being challenged repeatedly, possibly in relationships.
Let me suffer again
Willing to endure suffering again.
A loving daughter
Acknowledging a loving familial relationship.
But at what cost
Raising questions about the emotional toll of that relationship.
Ignite the fire with me
Reiteration of inviting someone to share intense emotions.
Watch the tears run dry
Observing the end of tears, suggesting emotional resolution.
Retreat, then placate, and play the game
Continuation of the cycle of withdrawal, appeasement, and playing games.
Falling back on words
Falling back on words that were not sincerely spoken.
That you preach but did not speak
Reiterating the inconsistency between preaching and actual speech.
Play me, let me suffer again
Being manipulated or played with, leading to suffering.
I walk into the graveyard of the love that I've lost
Mourning the loss of love and entering a metaphorical graveyard.
Can't take away the pain and sorrow
Unable to alleviate the pain and sorrow associated with the loss.
On the outside looking in
Reiterating the feeling of being an outsider, looking in.
Ready for another gaslight to come
Anticipating another instance of manipulation or deception.
Ready for the despondency
Prepared for feelings of hopelessness or despair.
Ready for a resurge
Ready for a resurgence or revival, possibly in emotional strength.
I walk into the graveyard of the love that I've lost
Mourning the loss of love and entering a metaphorical graveyard.
Can't take away the pain and sorrow
Unable to alleviate the pain and sorrow associated with the loss.
On the outside looking in
Reiteration of the feeling of being an outsider, looking in.
Looking in
Finalizing the theme of observing from a distance.
