Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Depths of Desire in 'You Like'
Lyrics
Your smile cuts like only I know
Your smile has a cutting quality that only I understand
This vicious blade of ecstacy
Describing the smile as a vicious blade of ecstasy
Should I wish to break these chains
Contemplating whether to break free from constraints
Can't stand it if I freeze
Expressing discomfort with freezing or being stagnant
so near yet so far to my surprise
Feeling close yet distant, surprising realization
I can't show you who you are
Inability to reveal the true identity of the person
So near yet so far to my demise
Close but facing a potential downfall
So I wait until you like my eyes
Waiting for approval or acknowledgment through eye contact
So I wait until you like
Continuation of waiting for acceptance
shudder to think what would
Reluctance to imagine possible negative outcomes
Can't face that hurt I'd bye bye gone
Avoiding the pain of facing certain emotions
Never show that you're alone
Encouraging the concealment of loneliness
Always hope how we be as one
Expressing a perpetual hope for unity
so near yet so far to my surprise
Reiteration of the paradox of closeness and distance
I can't show you who you are
Reiterating the challenge of revealing true selves
So near yet so far to my demise
Highlighting the risk of potential downfall
So I wait until you like my eyes
Continuing to wait for approval through eye contact
So I wait until you like
Continuation of waiting for acceptance
Until you like my lies
Waiting for approval even if it involves deception
So I wait and I lose
Continued waiting with the realization of loss
it's just a little...
Introduction of a minor issue or concern
It's just a little crush so I hush roll over and cry
Describing a crush and the need for silence
If I don't tell you I'll die and if I do I'm screwed
Expressing a dilemma of revealing emotions and potential consequences
It's a lose-lose situation but one I'm used to
Describing a lose-lose situation that is familiar
When I'm always betting on a limp horse of course
Metaphorically betting on an unlikely outcome
Can't get the words outta my mouth wanna spit 'em out
Difficulty expressing words, a desire to speak out
But I'm not quite ready yet to come screaming out
Hesitation to openly express emotions
The closet I said goddamn you got me real good
A realization of being trapped or exposed
All I wanna be is wanna be is cured
Expressing a desire to be cured or healed
all I want to be is cured
Reiteration of the desire to be cured
until you like my eyes
Repeating the theme of waiting for approval through eye contact
So I wait and I lose
Continued waiting with the acknowledgment of loss
And I lose
Emphasizing the experience of losing
