Eight Legged Lies
Betrayed Echoes: Greenlayne's Melancholic Ode to Love's Deceit
Lyrics
The light behind your eyes
The brightness or clarity found in your gaze or expression
The apple of my discord
A source of disagreement or conflict that is precious to me
I love the way you make me hurt inside
Expressing affection for the emotional pain caused by the person
I'd spill my guts for you
Willingness to be emotionally vulnerable and open for the person
If only for one reason
Willing to reveal innermost feelings for a single reason
I love the way you left and said goodbye
Appreciation for the emotional impact of the person leaving
I'm still not tired of reaching for the knife you left in my back
Continued endurance of emotional betrayal without losing interest
I'm so sick and I'm sinking below
Feeling unwell and sinking into despair
Won't you reach out your hand again
Request for support or reconciliation from the person
I'm still caught in the web that you spun
Still entangled in the emotional complexity created by the person
It means nothing to you
Recognition that the emotional connection is one-sided
But it's not enough, no it's not enough
Acknowledgment that the current situation is insufficient
You've seen my cards, and now you've called my bluff
Revealing vulnerability and being exposed to potential deception
Take me to the place, I know I'll feel the safest
Desire to be in a place where one feels secure
Where you can watch me fall apart
Willingness to be observed while experiencing emotional breakdown
So take everything, that's left of me
Offering everything that remains emotionally
I'll give you every breath I have left
Commitment to give every last bit of oneself
I'm so sick and I'm sinking below
Feeling unwell and sinking into despair (repeated)
Won't you reach out your hand again
Request for support or reconciliation (repeated)
I'm still caught in the web that you spun
Still entangled in the emotional complexity (repeated)
It means nothing to you
Recognition that the emotional connection means nothing to the other person (repeated)
And when I finally break through
A breakthrough moment, anticipating the need to address pain
There's a lot of pain to undo
Acknowledgment of significant emotional healing required
I'm taking it back, I no longer need you
Decision to reclaim control and no longer depend on the person
I'll cut out the ink that you've left in my skin
Symbolic removal of the lasting influence of the person
I'm so sick and I'm sinking below
Feeling unwell and sinking into despair (repeated)
Won't you reach out your hand again
Request for support or reconciliation (repeated)
I'm still caught in the web that you spun
Still entangled in the emotional complexity (repeated)
It means nothing to you
Recognition that the emotional connection means nothing to the other person (repeated)
I love the way you left and said goodbye
Appreciation for the departure despite the pain caused
