Fall on Deaf Ears
Echoes of Unheard Longings: False Indigo's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Long ago I wrote a similar tune
Reflecting on a past experience, possibly a song, with similarities to the current situation.
Where I yearned for your love
Expressing a desire for love from a specific person.
Here I am and nothing has changed at all
Despite the passage of time, the situation remains unchanged.
But I keep moving on
Continuing to move forward despite challenges or lack of progress.
Guess I was deluded
Acknowledging a previous state of being deceived or misled.
I was insane
Recognizing a past state of irrationality or mental instability.
To think you had the time
Realizing a misconception about the other person's availability or willingness to engage.
No more need to dodge it
No longer avoiding a certain truth or situation.
No need to deny
Being honest and not denying the reality of the situation.
I won't ask for a dime
Not seeking financial compensation but asking for attention or consideration.
Just give me a second and read through these words
Requesting the listener to pay attention to the speaker's words.
Please take a moment
Asking for a moment of the listener's time.
Don't leave this unheard
Emphasizing the importance of not ignoring the message.
Didn't think that this would get under my skin
Surprised by the emotional impact of a situation on the speaker.
But how could it not?
Expressing the inevitability of being affected by a certain situation.
'Cuz I don't need you to give me approval
Not dependent on approval from the other person but expressing a desire for acknowledgment.
I just thought that it would be nice
Thought it would be nice to receive positive recognition from the other person.
Just give a second and read through these words
Reiterating the request for the listener to read and understand the words.
Please take a moment
Re-emphasizing the importance of not ignoring the message.
Don't leave this unheard
Stressing the urgency of not leaving the message unheard.
But you will
Anticipating that the other person will not fully grasp the message.
And I keep on trying to reach out to you
Continuing efforts to connect with the other person.
I'm hoping it's different this time
Hoping for a positive change or response this time.
Those I thought would be there
People expected to offer support are not showing concern.
They don't seem to give a damn
Perceived lack of empathy or interest from those expected to care.
Taking but no giving
Not receiving reciprocal actions or support from others.
Is this really how things panned out?
Questioning if the current situation is the result of a one-sided effort.
Just give me a second and read through these words
Repeating the request for the listener to read and understand the words.
Please take a moment
Re-emphasizing the importance of not ignoring the message.
Don't leave this unheard
Stressing the urgency of not leaving the message unheard.
But you will
Anticipating that, despite the plea, the message will be ignored.
And I'll keep on trying to reach out to you
Persisting in efforts to connect with the other person despite previous setbacks.
I'm hoping it's different this time
Maintaining hope for a positive change or response in the current attempt.
