Ain't Even Your Lover
Ain't Even Your Lover: Unveiling the Emotions Beyond Heights
Lyrics
On the 28th floor and climbing looking up but never behind
Expressing a sense of constant upward movement and progress without looking back.
Like reaching the sky line could ever satisfy you
Questioning whether achieving great heights or goals can ever bring true satisfaction.
Is it cause you think the higher you get the further your fears will be
Wondering if the pursuit of higher goals is driven by the belief that it reduces fears.
Or is it because behind that wall it's nothing but empty?
Suggesting that beyond external success, there may be emptiness or lack of substance.
You kept me close, let me falter
Describing a situation where someone was kept close but allowed to falter.
And I, I couldn't recover
Expressing difficulty in recovering from a situation where support was lacking.
You kept me close got what you wanted
Highlighting that the closeness was for the other person's benefit.
And I ain't, ain't even your love
Stating that despite the closeness, there was no genuine love involved.
I've got your number I've got your name
Claiming knowledge of the other person's identity and intentions.
And I know it's about time, I lose both of them
Indicating a realization that it's time to let go of certain things.
Cause my piece of mind and my precious time mean more to me now
Prioritizing personal well-being and time over seeking approval.
than keeping myself good in your eyes and holding you up in a crowd
Choosing self-authenticity over conforming to others' expectations.
You kept me close, let me falter
Reiterating a situation where support led to a failure to recover.
And I, I couldn't recover
Emphasizing the struggle to bounce back from a challenging situation.
You kept me close got what you wanted
Pointing out that the closeness served the other person's desires.
And I ain't, ain't even your love
Reaffirming the absence of genuine love despite the proximity.
Does friendship mean nothing
Raising questions about the value of friendship and its solidity.
We ain't solid
Expressing doubts about the strength and reliability of the friendship.
Do ya even feel something?
Questioning whether the other person feels anything in the relationship.
Is forgiveness beyond us?
Contemplating the difficulty of granting forgiveness in the relationship.
So keep on striving climb to be seen
Encouraging continued effort to be noticed, with a suggestion of detachment.
And maybe one day they'll think it had nothing to do with me
Speculating that others might not associate success with the speaker.
When you reach that ceiling cause baby I know you will
Predicting a future success and warning about potential consequences.
And it all come crashing down Don't be wanting until
Advising against waiting for support when everything falls apart.
I build you up, make you stronger
Claiming a role in building the other person up and making them stronger.
But for what? (You ain't even my lover)
Pondering the purpose of strengthening someone who isn't a lover.
I built you up, made you stronger
Reiterating the act of building up the other person's strength.
But I ain't, (I ain't even your lover)
Stating that despite the effort, there is no romantic involvement.
You kept me close, let me falter
Recalling a situation where closeness led to a failure to recover.
And I, I couldn't recover
Expressing the emotional difficulty of recovering from a challenging situation.
You kept me close got what you wanted
Reiterating that the closeness served the other person's desires.
And I ain't, ain't even your lover
Affirming the absence of genuine love despite the previous closeness.
