Still Close Enough
City Shadows: Embracing Disguises in Electric Light
Lyrics
hey babes what's your name have you been here before?
Asking for the person's name and whether they've been in this situation previously.
isn't this place lame want to go somewhere on our own.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current location and proposing to leave together.
you seem so different from the rest I want to talk to you.
Noticing uniqueness in the person and expressing a desire to converse.
so let's meet up fast yeah that would be cool.
Suggesting a quick meeting, showing eagerness.
I always understand I, I am really nice
Self-assertion of being understanding and nice.
I use this front all the time when I go online but
Admitting to using a facade online but implying a darker intent.
I would like to cut you where it hurts I crave the places you reserve
Expressing a desire to hurt emotionally, seeking vulnerabilities.
For the ones you love but I'll teach you to hate
Intent to disrupt positive emotions and replace them with hate.
I will do it some more reality is such a chore but
Viewing reality negatively and finding pleasure in causing pain.
here I'm unaccounted for and you were such an easy score
Feeling unaccountable in this scenario and deeming the target an easy conquest.
don't go offline give me your number
Insisting on contact details, seeking more access to the person.
I'll call you some time figure out where you're at
Planning to call later to locate the person's whereabouts.
if it's close enough it will be the last thing you'll regret
Suggesting that if the person is close enough, they'll regret it.
I I'm one of those guys I would never ever lie
Claiming honesty but casting doubt on credibility.
or at least that's what you'd like to believe right but
Suggesting the potential for dishonesty or deception.
I might be a psycho and I might be a perv
Admitting to potentially harmful tendencies.
and I'm out so you better spread the word
Warning of their departure and the need to spread cautionary information.
I'll fuck with your head 'til you tell me to go to hell
Threatening to mentally disturb until rejected outright.
don't go offline give me your number
Repeated insistence on obtaining contact details for increased access.
I'll call you some time figure out where you lie
Planning to call to ascertain the person's true intentions or position.
if it's close enough that will be the last that will be night night
Suggesting that if proximity or intimacy is achieved, it will lead to a final encounter.
be very scared you stupid little fool
Issuing a threat, aiming to induce fear in the targeted individual.
now you don't want me to be close enough to you
Expressing a desire for distance due to the threatening nature.
your mind is mine to control and play around with
Asserting control over the person's thoughts and actions.
your mind is mine and mine alone
Claiming exclusive ownership of the person's mind.
rip your heart open slit you from toe to head
Graphic depiction of causing extreme physical harm.
taste you from the inside out I want you so bad
Expressing a strong desire for the person.
digitally yours
Signing off in a possessive manner, claiming digital ownership.
night night
Bidding a disturbing 'good night.'
