The Outsiders
Unraveling Despair: Dream Operator's Sonic Reflection on Loss and Longing
Lyrics
I'm so tired
I'm fatigued or exhausted.
I don't know just place the blame
I'm uncertain about attributing responsibility.
When you are fired up inside with hate
Feeling intense anger or resentment within.
I can start to see that this is over
I'm starting to realize that this situation has concluded.
With a quarter sewn on your watch
A quarter is sewn onto your watch, possibly symbolizing a moment frozen in time.
So tell me
Seeking an explanation.
Is feeling okay now?
Asking if it's acceptable to feel a certain way now.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
Yesterday
Referring to a past day.
I felt you in through all my brain and
Sensing someone's presence deeply in one's thoughts.
I just know it's okay
Confident that everything is fine.
When I don't know just who to blame and
When unsure about assigning blame.
I don't know what to say
Unable to find the right words or actions.
Or what to do when you're not here
Confusion and uncertainty when the person is absent.
When did things become so senseless?
Questioning when things lost meaning or purpose.
Is that all you have to say?
Asking if the preceding statement is the only response.
Yes please
Requesting affirmation for a request.
I can't lose myself
Anxiety about losing one's identity.
Why can't we stop?
Questioning the difficulty in stopping something.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation.
Yesterday
Referring to a past day.
I felt you in through all my brain and
Sensing someone's presence deeply in one's thoughts (repeated).
I just know that it's okay
Confident that everything is fine (repeated).
When you lie and you tell me say it
Uncertainty when lies are revealed.
I don't know what to do or who I am when you're not here
Feeling lost without the person's presence.
