Nearsighted
Navigating Temptation: Embracing Pain and Pleasure in Glass Mansions' 'Nearsighted'
Lyrics
Nearsighted again
Feeling myopic or lacking foresight once again
Hooked on the pain
Addicted to the pain
All the pleasure's foreign
Experiencing pleasure that seems unfamiliar or distant
When when does it end?
Questioning when this cycle of pain and pleasure will stop
Got a devil on my back
Haunted by inner demons or negative influences
And it's pulling you in
These influences are drawing another person into the situation
Let the bullet come for me
Accepting the consequences, even if it means facing danger
I'll go down with both hands up
Willing to face adversity with hands raised, embracing whatever comes
If a hit's what I need
Open to experiencing a setback or negative impact if that's what is required
What I need
Reiterating the need for a hit or impact
Tell me what I need
Seeking clarification on what is truly necessary
Blanket promises
Receiving promises that provide false comfort or security
Flirting with hell
Engaging with danger or negativity while flirting with the concept of hell
While you drag me through it
Being dragged through challenging situations by someone else
I can't breathe under this
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed, struggling to breathe
Gasping for air
Fighting for breath while allowing someone into one's life
While I'm letting you in
Let the bullet come for me
Facing the potential harm or consequences, accepting them willingly
I'll go down with both hands up
Readiness to confront challenges with both hands raised
If a hit's what I need
Expressing a willingness to experience a negative impact or hit
What I need
Reiterating the need for a specific impact or experience
Tell me what I need
Seeking clarity on what is truly necessary
What I what I already know
Reflecting on what is already known or understood
Tell me what I need
Asking for confirmation or additional information on what is required
