Unrequited Echoes: Battling Love's Ghost in 'IDWYL'
Lyrics
Trying to abandon you
Expressing an attempt to distance oneself from someone.
I just can't get over your field of view
Struggling to move past the perspective or outlook of the other person.
It's the only thing that can bring it back
The other person's viewpoint is crucial in reviving certain emotions.
All the feelings that I tried to neglect
Acknowledging the attempt to ignore or overlook certain emotions.
I keep climbing up and falling down
Experiencing ups and downs in emotions, possibly in a relationship.
Watching memories, I start to drown
Being overwhelmed by memories, possibly causing emotional distress.
I've tried everything, stuff you don't know
Having tried various things, some unknown to the other person.
I can't "get a grip and just let it go"
Struggling to "get a grip" and move on from the situation.
"My feelings subside"
Quoting the other person's perspective that their feelings are diminishing.
But I could never say the same about mine
Expressing an inability to reciprocate the same diminishing feelings.
But I don't want it
Declaring a lack of desire for the situation or relationship.
And I don't need it
Emphasizing the lack of necessity for the mentioned situation.
I don't want your love
Rejecting the offer or presence of the other person's love.
I can't have it
Expressing an unattainability or impossibility of having the mentioned love.
I'm mad about it
Feeling anger or frustration about the situation.
But I don't want your love
Reiterating the lack of desire for the other person's love.
I can't proudly say, I gave it all away
Unable to proudly claim to have given everything in the relationship.
You led me on, then said you didn't feel the same
Accusing the other person of leading them on and then denying reciprocal feelings.
You got in my head, and you knew it, too
Acknowledging the other person's manipulation of emotions.
I still can't believe I ever trusted you
Expressing disbelief at having trusted the other person.
You pushed my feelings aside
Noting the dismissal of the speaker's feelings by the other person.
But I'd never do that to you the way you did mine
Clarifying that the speaker would not treat the other person the same way.
But I don't want it
Reiterating the lack of desire for the situation or relationship.
And I don't need it
Emphasizing the lack of necessity for the mentioned situation.
I don't want your love
Rejecting the offer or presence of the other person's love.
I can't have it
Expressing an unattainability or impossibility of having the mentioned love.
I'm mad about it
Feeling anger or frustration about the situation.
But I don't want your love
Reiterating the lack of desire for the other person's love.
But I don't want it
Repeating the lack of desire for the situation or relationship.
And I don't need it
Emphasizing the lack of necessity for the mentioned situation.
I don't want your love
Rejecting the offer or presence of the other person's love.
I can't have it
