Lyrics

Say you miss me but you never call me

Sense of longing as the person expresses a desire for communication and misses the caller.

Ever to say sorry

Not receiving apologies despite the expressed longing, possibly indicating a lack of remorse.

Playing with my emotions like Atari

Comparing emotional manipulation to playing video games like Atari, suggesting a detached or playful approach.

Dissociation, I keep holding distance

Expressing a state of dissociation, keeping emotional distance, possibly to cope with difficulties.

I don't wanna face my fears, don't wanna face my fears

Aversion to confronting fears and challenges, a desire to avoid facing inner struggles.

Still I feel your presence, etherally

Despite avoidance, feeling the presence of the person in a spiritual or intangible way.

So far away, yet so close to me

Describing emotional distance—physically far but emotionally close, possibly highlighting a paradox in the relationship.

Every word you say got a hold on me

Words spoken by the person have a strong influence or impact on the speaker.

Like a noose around my neck

Comparing the impact of the person's words to a noose around the speaker's neck, suggesting a constricting or negative influence.


Ghosts in my head, they're invasive

Presence of intrusive thoughts or memories that disturb the speaker's mind.

Think that I'm losing my mind, they're persuasive

Feeling a sense of mental instability or susceptibility to persuasion by these intrusive thoughts.

Loving you will be my true descension

Expressing that choosing to love the person is a descent into a challenging or troubled state.

Giving you my all no discretion

Committing fully to the relationship without holding back, regardless of consequences.


No discretion

Reiteration of the theme of giving all without reservation or caution.

Like a noose around my neck
