Lyrics

Is it you who calls the shots

Questioning if the person being addressed is in control of their desires and decisions.

Of what you want?

Asking about the person's awareness and clarity regarding their wants and needs.

Does it hurt when he sees you?

Wondering if there is emotional pain when the person is observed by someone else.

Like his eyes are made of fire

Describing the intensity of the gaze, implying it feels like it could cause harm or discomfort.

He's not allowed to be near you

Stating that the intense person is restricted from being close, questioning why the addressed person hides.

So why are you the one who hides?

Pondering why the addressed person is the one concealing themselves despite the restrictions on the intense person.


I don't have to pretend

Asserting the freedom to be genuine, suggesting a contrast to the addressed person's situation.

That these are your friends

Acknowledging a lack of need to pretend that certain individuals are friends of the addressed person.

These are your friends

Reiterating that the mentioned individuals are not genuinely friends of the addressed person.

How could you live on a fault line

Posing a rhetorical question about living in a precarious emotional state and fearing physical intimacy.

When you're so scared to be touched?

Expressing the contradiction of residing in an emotionally fragile state while avoiding physical closeness.

If I'm so sure that I'm drowning

Expressing certainty about drowning metaphorically, questioning the strange sensation in the mouth.

Why's my mouth feel like a sponge?

Describing an odd sensation in the mouth, possibly related to emotional distress.


I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Repetition emphasizing a deep sense of understanding or familiarity with a situation.

I know, I know, I know, I know
