Killing Time
Navigating Love's Deceptions: Killing Time's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
When you're pleasure seeking
Expressing disapproval or concern about pleasure-seeking behavior
I'm left killing time
Feeling idle or unproductive while waiting for the pleasure-seeking person
It's a homicide
Describing the impact of pleasure-seeking as a severe crime
A ritual
Characterizing pleasure-seeking as a repetitive and symbolic act
Don't treat a human like that
Rejecting inhumane treatment of others
You're very smart
Complimenting the person's intelligence
You ignite my flame
Stating that the person ignites passion or desire
After all is said and done
Reflecting on the completion of a situation or relationship
Baby you're the only one
Expressing the person's exclusivity in the speaker's life
I don't get jealous
Claiming not to experience jealousy
But when you say you love me
Expressing skepticism or uncertainty about the person's love
I only half believe
Indicating partial belief in the person's declaration of love
But baby
Asserting a commitment to stay despite doubts
I could never leave
Emphasizing the speaker's loyalty and inability to leave
Right now is all I want
Expressing a desire for the present moment
Right here
Asserting the importance of the current location
Here is where you belong
Declaring the person's belonging with the speaker
With me
Reiterating the person's place with the speaker
As long as you stay
Stating the condition for the person to stay
With me
Reaffirming the person's presence with the speaker
You'll see
Assuring positive experiences if the person stays
I'm real good company
Claiming to be excellent companionship
Sleight of hand
Referring to the person's deceptive actions
The way you play your tricks
Describing the person's skillful deceit
You cheat on me
Accusing the person of infidelity
All the time
Highlighting a pattern of unfaithfulness
But I turn my back
Choosing to ignore the betrayal for the sake of past good times
Cos we had
Recalling shared positive experiences
Some
Qualifying the relationship with the term "some"
Good times
Reflecting on the positive moments in the relationship
Here is where you belong
Reiterating the person's belonging with the speaker
With me
Emphasizing the person's ongoing presence with the speaker
As long as you stay
Reaffirming the condition for the person to stay
With me
Reiterating the person's positive experiences if they stay
You'll see
Asserting the speaker's excellent companionship
I'm real good company
Final confirmation of the speaker's good company
