Fly on a Wall
Flying Above Heartbreak: Eric Martin's Poetic Escape
Lyrics
Love is overrated
Love is considered less valuable or important than commonly believed.
I'm afraid it's one big joke
Expressing skepticism, suggesting that love is a large, unserious jest.
Pin your heart on an atom bomb
Metaphorically attaching emotions to a destructive force, expecting negative consequences.
Watch it blow up in a puff of smoke
Anticipating the failure of a relationship, likening it to an explosive event.
You lover her and she loves you
Describing a reciprocal love, but with a temporary and fragile nature.
For a little while it's cake
Suggesting that the enjoyable aspects of a relationship are brief.
You'll crawl on your belly like a reptile boy
Using vivid imagery to portray submission and self-destructive behavior.
And dig your own sweet grave
Indicating a willingness to bring harm to oneself through one's actions.
Done That, been there
Expressing a sense of indifference, having experienced various situations.
Now I just don't care
No longer emotionally invested, a detachment from caring.
No one can touch me 'cause
Feeling invulnerable or untouchable by others.
I'm just a fly on a wall
Metaphorically portraying oneself as an inconspicuous observer.
High, high above it all
Being positioned high above, detached from the troubles below.
I will never fall
Expressing confidence in not succumbing to difficulties.
I made my great escape
Having successfully escaped a challenging situation.
Give my broken heart a break
Requesting relief or respite for a wounded heart.
I'm just a fly on wall
Reiterating the theme of being an unnoticed observer.
I've been left blind sided
Feeling blindsided or taken by surprise in a negative way.
Cut and dried, and tied in knots.
Describing a situation as straightforward and tightly bound with complications.
Turned the other cheek, and was good to go
Having endured difficulties and remained resilient.
Baby, I just dusted myself right off
Recovering from setbacks and moving forward.
She hates her and you hate you
Describing mutual dislike within a relationship.
Colour yourself red,
Using color imagery to depict intense emotions.
You can't Mister Fix-It being sexual
Advising against using sexual relationships as a remedy.
Cause you're only banging heads
Engaging in conflicts without resolving underlying issues.
Done That, been there
Reiterating experiences and expressing indifference.
No I just don't care
Continuing the theme of emotional detachment.
No one can touch me cause
Feeling impervious to external influences.
I'm just a fly on a wall
Reiterating the metaphor of being an inconspicuous observer.
High, high above it all
Maintaining a position of detachment and elevation.
I will never fall
Expressing confidence in avoiding downfall.
I made my great escape
Having successfully escaped a challenging situation (repeated).
Give my broken heart a break
Seeking relief for a wounded heart (repeated).
I'm just a fly on wall
Reiterating the theme of being an unnoticed observer (repeated).
