You're Looking at Me
Unveiling Silent Conversations: You're Looking at Me
Lyrics
I was breathing not sleeping nor having the choice
I was awake, not sleeping, and had no control over the situation.
I was brushed by the skirts of a ghost with your voice
I experienced a ghostly presence that reminded me of you.
You were drowned in the buzz of the humming machines
You were overwhelmed by the noise of machines humming.
And you were looking at me
You directed your attention towards me.
You're looking at me
This line reiterates that you were looking at me.
A strange conversation in the visiting room
A peculiar conversation occurred in a visitation area.
The big smile of ignorance shone like the moon
Ignorance was displayed with a big, moon-like smile.
What I wanted to say was lost at sea
I couldn't express what I wanted to say because it got lost.
'Cause you were looking at me
Your attention was focused on me during this time.
You're looking at me
Reiteration that you were looking at me.
Being your sleeper what should I do but tend
As someone who sleeps with you, my role is to take care.
Enhanced in your beauty, silent shining friend
Your beauty is enhanced, and you are a silent, shining friend.
Sunburned and bruised where no-one can see
I bear the physical marks of sunburn and bruises that are hidden.
You were looking at me
Despite my condition, your attention is on me.
You're looking at me
Reiteration that you're looking at me.
Where is the dreamer when night makes it's slide
Where is the dreamer when darkness falls?
And light takes a candle to shine on inside
Light exposes the internal reality, and a dream may remain unseen.
And is it a dream that no-one can see
Questioning whether the attention directed at me is a dream.
That you're looking at me?
Confirmation that indeed, you're looking at me.
You're looking at me
Reiteration that you're looking at me.
