Carlita
Navigating Life's Maze: Goldfinger's Carlita Unveils the Struggle
Lyrics
Well after today I'll never see you
Expressing a realization that after today, there will be no further interaction with the person being addressed.
And you'll be left with your life
The addressee will continue living their life independently after the speaker's departure.
Collecting all your souvenirs
Gathering and keeping mementos or memories.
I'll never get it right
The speaker feels incapable of meeting the expectations or doing things right.
Empty man hollow man
Describing oneself as lacking substance or feeling incomplete.
I call myself a hermit
Self-identifying as a recluse or someone who isolates themselves.
My self esteem contingent on
Self-worth is dependent on how the addressee perceives or evaluates the speaker.
The way you look at me
The speaker's self-esteem relies on the addressee's opinion or view of them.
I'm hanging on your words
Feeling emotionally attached to the addressee's spoken words.
Yeah I'm reading
Actively paying attention and comprehending the thoughts conveyed by the addressee.
All your thoughts
Desire to embody the addressee's identity or state of being.
If only I could be you now
Recognizing the addressee's control or power in the situation.
Cause you got the control
Acknowledging that the addressee holds authority or dominance.
Empty man lonely man
Feeling devoid of substance or companionship.
I call myself depressed
Self-labeling as experiencing feelings of sadness or despair.
I'm finding ways to avoid you
Actively seeking ways to avoid interacting with the addressee.
At the expense of sanity
Choosing to maintain mental stability by avoiding the addressee.
I'm hanging on your words
Still emotionally attached to the addressee's spoken words.
And I'd like to share a thought
Expressing a desire to communicate a thought to the addressee.
I know I can't be you now
Recognizing the impossibility of becoming the addressee but expressing a wish to remain nearby.
But I'd like to stay a while
Expressing a desire to prolong the current situation or interaction.
