To See You
Refusing Sight: Emotions Carved in Verse
Lyrics
You can cut off my head
You can sever my connection to rational thought
So I don't have to think
To avoid confronting difficult thoughts and emotions
While she lies her way through the edge
While she deceitfully navigates the dangerous edge
The eye of the stink
In the midst of a morally questionable situation
I could tell you I loved you so
Expressing love, but struggling to believe its sincerity
Just wish I could believe it was true
Wishing for genuine belief in the proclaimed love
Maybe then I'd look you in eye
Desiring the ability to make direct eye contact
Well, I might've gouged them out too soon
Regretting the impulsive removal of one's own eyes
Baby, just for you
Action taken for the sake of someone special
Cause I don't wanna see you
Expressing a strong desire to avoid seeing the person
No I don't wanna see you
Reiteration of not wanting to see the person
I don't wanna know you
Declaring a preference to remain ignorant of the person
Cause I don't wanna see you
Repeating the strong aversion to seeing the person
No I don't wann see you
Emphasizing the unwillingness to witness the person
I don't wanna know you
Reiterating the desire to stay uninformed about the person
I hope that you've scratched that itch
Hoping that the person has resolved their desires
And I pray theres nothing left there to it
Praying for closure and no lingering feelings
The sun comes out but I lie in the shade
Choosing to stay in the shadows due to dislike and fear
Cause I don't like you and I'm a little bit afraid
Expressing discomfort and fear towards the person
Lonely nights and lonely afternoons
Experiencing loneliness during both day and night
Bet you know what that's like love, don't you
Suggesting that the person understands loneliness
Try to walk away but you make me feel insane
Attempting to distance oneself but feeling driven to madness
Guess I'm not allowed to win either way
Feeling trapped with no option for a favorable outcome
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Accepting the challenging situation as the only option
Cause I don't wanna see you
Reiterating the strong aversion to seeing the person
No I don't wanna see you
Emphasizing the unwillingness to witness the person
I don't wanna know you
Declaring a preference to remain ignorant of the person
Cause I don't wanna see you
Repeating the strong aversion to seeing the person
No I don't wanna see you
Emphasizing the unwillingness to witness the person
I don't wanna know you
Reiterating the desire to stay uninformed about the person
I'm gonna try take a ride on the other side of this beat
Expressing a desire to explore an alternative perspective
Baby it's alright if you'd like to say goodbye, you already died in my mind
Accepting the end of the relationship in one's mind
I hope you're happy that she
Expressing a wish for the person's happiness
Is all you
Acknowledging the person as the primary focus
Happy that she
Reiterating the hope for the person's happiness
Is all you
-Happy that she
-I hope you're happy that she is all you have
Expressing the desire for the person to find fulfillment
