Lyrics
You can't hear me
You are not able to perceive my presence
You can't hear me
Reiteration of the inability to hear or perceive
You can't hear what I'm saying
My communication is not audible to you
You can't hear what I'm saying to you
You are unable to comprehend my message to you
You watch the clock
You observe the passage of time
Move the slow hand
Time seems to move slowly
I should have been home
I should have returned home by now
Hours ago
I am delayed, and it's been hours
But I'm not here
I am physically absent
But I'm not here
Emphasizing physical absence
You can't hear me
Continued emphasis on lack of auditory perception
You can't hear me
Repeated assertion of inability to hear
You can't feel me
You are unable to sense my presence
Here in the room with you now
Despite being in the same room, you can't feel my presence
You can't hear what I'm saying
Your hearing does not capture my words
You don't hear what I'm saying, do you?
Highlighting the lack of understanding
Can't let you know
I cannot reveal what has occurred
What's been happening
A situation has unfolded but remains undisclosed
There's a ghost in our home
A spectral presence is haunting our shared space
Just watching you without me
This ghostly observer watches you in my absence
I'm not here
Reiteration of physical non-presence
(You don't hear me)
(Reaffirming that you don't hear me)
But I'm not here (you can't hear me)
(Continued emphasis on inability to hear)
But I'm not here (you don't hear what I'm saying)
(Stressing the lack of comprehension)
Don't ignore, don't ignore me
Pleading not to be ignored
Let me?
Asking for acknowledgment and understanding
Don't ignore, don't ignore me
Repeated plea for attention
Let me?
Requesting to be heard and acknowledged
Don't ignore, don't ignore me
Continued plea for recognition
Let me?
Asking to be noticed
We see you here
We are aware of your presence
You don't hear me come in
Your awareness of my entrance is absent
Help me, baby, help me, baby, talk to me, listen to me
A plea for assistance, communication, and understanding
Listen to me, talk to me, help
Repetition of the need for attention and help
(You can't hear me)
(Reiteration of the inability to hear)
Listen, baby, listen to me, baby, help me, help me, baby
Requesting active listening and assistance
Talk to me! talk to me! please, baby, talk to me
Urgent appeal for communication
(You can't hear me)
(Reaffirming the inability to hear)
You won't hear me leaving
You will not notice my departure
