Lyrics
I am a debtor to my dreams
I feel indebted to my aspirations and ambitions
I don't know when I'll be free
Uncertain about when I will achieve freedom
Or if they'll lord over me for eternity
Fearful that these dreams may dominate me indefinitely
I've never learned to meet my needs
I have not mastered fulfilling my own necessities
If you cut me, I won't bleed
Metaphorically, I won't show pain if hurt
My body pleads under years of debris
My physical self is in agony under the weight of accumulated experiences
But it's not like anybody's home
Feeling emotionally vacant, like no one is present
I don't exist when I'm alone
In solitude, I perceive my non-existence
It's just a floating pair of headphones playing music in an empty studio
Imagining a scene of only headphones playing music in an empty studio
But I got you (I got you)
Expressing the comforting presence of someone special
I got you (I got you)
Reiteration of having that special someone
I got your lovin', my darling
Emphasizing the affection received from the mentioned person
There's nothing more to it
Stating simplicity in the relationship
So when it hits
Referring to an impactful moment
And it always hits
Anticipating and acknowledging the impact of such moments
I wanna know that I'm real from the look in your eyes when we kiss
Desiring affirmation of reality through the partner's gaze during a kiss
It might be rain
Using weather metaphors to describe emotional states
It might be fire
Continuation of emotional metaphor, possibly intensity
I'm in pain
Expressing emotional pain but acknowledging existence
But I'm alive
Recognizing the vitality despite challenges
And there's just one thing I need
Desire for physical closeness as a source of comfort
And it's your arms around me baby
Expressing a need for the partner's embrace
But I can't hold anything in place
Feeling unable to keep things stable or secure
I watch the minutes turn to days
Observing the passage of time, possibly with a sense of loss
And watch the days turn to years on my face
Reflecting on the visible effects of time on oneself
While I don't know how to make amends
Admitting difficulty in making things right
I'm a ghost to all my friends
Feeling disconnected or unnoticed by friends
For broken hearts, broken teeth, broken promises
Listing various forms of personal failures
I'm never really in the right
Acknowledging a lack of being in the right, possibly in conflicts
That's why I never really fight
Avoiding confrontations due to a perceived lack of correctness
And I'm a smoke between the mirrors
Metaphorically existing as a smoke between mirrors
I've been known to disappear myself entirely
Admitting to a tendency to completely disappear
It's like I don't exist (I don't exist)
Reiterating a sense of non-existence
I don't exist (I don't exist)
Further emphasizing the feeling of not existing
But you got my lovin', my darling
Acknowledging reciprocal affection from the partner
There's nothing more to it
Reiterating the simplicity and sincerity of the relationship
And honey, I got you
Expressing gratitude for the partner's presence
(I got you holding me here, so I'll hold here with you)
Describing a mutual holding, emphasizing unity
And I got something true
Asserting the presence of something genuine
I wanna feel like I'm real cause you're real and you're feeling me too
Desiring a sense of reality and connection through the partner
It might be rain
Repetition of emotional weather metaphors
It might be fire
Continuation of emotional intensity or challenges
I'm in pain
Acknowledging emotional pain while affirming existence
But I'm alive
Acknowledging vitality despite challenges
And there's just one thing I need
Reiterating the need for physical closeness for comfort
And it's your arms around me baby
Expressing a desire for the partner's embrace
