The Hunt
Unraveling Deceit: Grizzly Bear's Melodic Reflections on Truth and Betrayal
Lyrics
Prove it all to me
Expressing a need for proof or validation
Check again to see
Request to reevaluate or double-check something
Leave me with no words
Leaving in a state of speechlessness or astonishment
If you call again it's absurd
Considering a repeated call as unreasonable
And I know I've made it all a lie
Admitting to fabricating a falsehood
Shuffled back and forth it's only in my eyes
Perceiving a back-and-forth motion as a personal perception
And I always want to rescind
Expressing a desire to retract or take back
Everything I bought into, there's no name
Regretting involvement in something without a clear identity
Fool me once, it's fair
Acceptance of being deceived once as justifiable
The flood gates need repair
Noting a need for repair in emotional barriers
I count on you and why
Questioning reliance on someone with an unclear reason
There's nothing there besides
Acknowledging the absence of substance or value
And I want to hide it all away
Desire to conceal or keep something private
Taking back all of the silly things I used to say
Reconsidering and retracting past statements
And I'll give you all of my time
Commitment to allocate time to someone or something
Because I'm foolish and never know how to resign
Acknowledging foolishness and difficulty in resigning or letting go
Another back and forth, turn around
Describing a repetitive and indecisive pattern
One that makes no sense, but it feels good anyhow
Recognizing the irrationality of a situation that brings pleasure
And I'll leave it all as it should be
Acceptance of the status quo as it should be
Where you are you and I stay me
Preserving individuality in the face of external influences
