Unveiling Truth: mISSpERCEPTION by International Strange
Lyrics
Looked into my eyes think you've figured me out this time
Feeling misunderstood, someone thinks they have insight into the speaker.
Judging by my cover another mistake you learn in time
Assuming things based on appearances, a common error that becomes evident over time.
Peel back the onion layers revel the truth in time
Encouraging a deeper understanding, revealing the truth gradually.
Throwing me that line think I'll watch it pass me by
Rejecting a statement or proposition, not letting it affect the speaker.
From conception missed perception
Highlighting misunderstandings or misconceptions from the beginning.
Missed direction missed intention
Pointing out various types of missed opportunities and intentions.
You can't read me
Claiming that the speaker is unreadable.
You can't tell me
Emphasizing the inability to be understood.
You can't tear me down You can't tear me down
Asserting resilience against attempts to bring the speaker down.
You can't tear me down You can't tear me down
-Painted in that corner but your boundary lines are wrong
Being confined by others' expectations, with those expectations being incorrect.
Reading from your playbook yeah you played me all along
Being deceived according to someone else's plan.
Bluffing with those cards you dealt and doubled down again
Accusing someone of bluffing and making a wrong move.
Your house of cards comes crashing down you overplayed your hand
Predicting the downfall of someone who has overplayed their hand.
From conception missed perception
Reiterating the theme of misunderstanding and missed intentions.
Missed direction missed intention
-You can't read me
Claiming that the speaker is not easily understood.
You can't tell me
Rejecting attempts to dictate or instruct the speaker.
You can't tear me down You can't tear me down
Reaffirming the speaker's resistance to being brought down.
You can't tear me down You can't tear me down
-See it in your eyes that worry it seems you've second guessed
Noticing concern or doubt in someone's eyes who second-guesses the speaker.
Put me in that type cast mold but I'm different from the rest
Being stereotyped but asserting individuality.
Well you underestimated me you're back peddling me man
Being underestimated and accused of retracting a previous statement.
Call no joy was I playing coy? You know you forced my hand
Questioning if the speaker was pretending innocence and feeling compelled to act.
From conception missed perception
Highlighting recurring themes of misunderstanding and misdirection.
Missed direction missed intention
-You can't read me
Reiterating the claim that the speaker is not easily deciphered.
You can't tell me
Rejecting attempts to instruct or guide the speaker.
You can't tear me down You can't tear me down
Affirming resilience against attempts to tear the speaker down.
You can't tear me down You can't tear me down You can't tear me down
-You can't tear me down
Asserting that the speaker cannot be brought down.
