Too Dark
Shadows of Self: Navigating Love's Complexity in 'Too Dark'
Lyrics
I wish I had some control
I desire some control over the situation or my emotions.
you embarrass me in full
You make me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable openly.
I feel low low low
I experience a deep emotional low or sadness.
I don't wanna know how flustered you were
I don't want to know how agitated or upset you were.
I just wanna hear
I just want to hear you admit that you were wrong.
you say you were wrong
You confess that you made a mistake.
how easily I become not real
It's easy for me to feel unreal or disconnected.
like a bug you brush off your ear
Comparable to brushing off a bug from your ear, I am easily dismissed.
you're just dust, I'm just dust
We are both insignificant, like dust.
if your love was strong as my shame
If your love matched the intensity of my shame.
I'd marry you and take your name
I would commit to you and take your name in marriage.
but it's not, you'll never get it
But your love falls short, and you won't understand.
so I guess I'll just forget it
Given the situation, I will likely forget about it.
too dark
The situation or emotions are too dark or intense.
I stand alone, lucky and unknown
I am standing alone, feeling fortunate and unrecognized.
do I belong? do I belong? do I belong? oh
Questioning my sense of belonging and acceptance.
when I know I'm not the best girl in the room
Despite not being the best girl in the room, I acknowledge it.
I tell myself I'm the best you can do
I convince myself that I am the best you can have.
do I belong? do I belong? do I belong? no
Continued uncertainty about fitting in or belonging.
I drink bad coffee, hope that you'll call me (do I belong?)
Engaging in mundane activities, hoping for your call.
never look back, never look back, never look back, oh (do I belong?)
Choosing not to dwell on the past and move forward.
when I get bored, I crash up on the shore (do I belong?)
When bored, I metaphorically crash on the shore.
too dark, too dark, too dark, oh (do I belong?)
The situation or emotions are too dark to endure.
