Minotaur
Labyrinths of Love: Unraveling the Minotaur's Tale
Lyrics
I saw you
I observed you
With your ball of yarn
Engaged with your own complexities and challenges
Looking for the exit
Searching for an exit
No story left except to leave
No narrative left except the decision to depart
The slow burn to the winding down
The gradual decline leading to the conclusion
An offer in a new town
An opportunity in a new place
And all that's keeping you is me
And the only thing holding you back is me
And you came by to get your clothes
You came to collect your belongings
And I gave you a speech in my notes
I presented you with a prepared speech
A list of reasons why you shouldn't go
A list of reasons why you shouldn't leave
Give things that finale vibe
Giving things a sense of conclusion
But you never were a fan of my shows
You never appreciated my performances
And as you left you said
As you departed, you remarked
You can't spend your life
You cannot spend your life
Lurking through the maze
Navigating through the complexities
You hate me if I go
You'll resent me if I leave
But if I don't nothing'll change
But if I stay, nothing will change
I'll call up your friends
I'll contact your friends
They can tell me when you're better
They can inform me when you improve
We can't be minotaurs in shopping malls forever
We can't be stuck in mundane routines forever
You saw me with the DVD
You observed me with the DVD
All the extras and behind the scenes
Exploring all the additional content and behind-the-scenes footage
I'll try out every melody
I'll experiment with every melody
Find the one you like so you won't leave
Find the one that resonates with you to make you stay
All the paintings in labyrinth
All the artworks in our intricate creations
That we made when we were bored
Produced when we were bored
All our scripts and grand adventures
All the scripts and grand adventures
We wrote lying on the floor
We composed while lying on the floor
I've got half a dozen pitches
I have numerous ideas to persuade you to stay
Storylines that mean you stay
Plots that guarantee your continued presence
But no matter what, you're leaving anyway
However, regardless, you are leaving
Saying you can't spend your life
Stating that you cannot spend your life
Lurking through the maze
Wandering through the complexities
You hate me if I go, but if I don't nothing'll change
You'll resent me if I leave, but if I stay, nothing will change
I'll call up your friends
I'll reach out to your friends
They can tell me when you're better
They can update me on your well-being
We can't be minotaurs in shopping malls forever
We can't be stuck in mundane routines forever
Put the stereo down
Lower the volume of the stereo
Stay where you are
Remain where you are
Don't make a speech or chase the car
Don't deliver a speech or pursue the car
Don't ask what now, you already know
Don't question what comes next; you already know
There's no metaphor
There's no hidden meaning
You've got to let this go
You must release this
If you ever mean to leave
If you intend to depart
Could you help me with this scene
Can you assist me with this situation
Party where we met
At the party where we first met
No regrets like in the dream
No regrets, as in a dream
I'll call up our friends
I'll contact our friends
We can wrestle with the end, together
We can confront the conclusion together
And let this minotaur be myth and nothing more
And let the idea of us being minotaurs be a myth and nothing more
Myth and nothing more
A myth and nothing more</td
