High Tech Computer Magician
Navigating Love's Digital Maze: High Tech Disconnect
Lyrics
Lost a step
Feeling a sense of regression or decline
Trying to run as fast as I could
Attempting to escape quickly
From you and the bed that we slept in
Referring to leaving a shared bed
And I said, "Now I'll never catch up,"
Expressing doubt about catching up in life
And look, I haven't caught up yet
Highlighting the failure to catch up
But I'm not upset
Claiming emotional resilience
Because you're not a threat
Asserting that the person is not a threat
And I don't know who I'm trying to protect
Expressing uncertainty about who or what is being protected
So drop me a line, we can redisconnect
Inviting communication for reconciliation
But I gotta jet, for now, gotta set my alarm
Announcing the need to leave promptly
Clean off the makeup, turn on the charm
Preparing to face reality and be charming
Get out of my dreams and into my car
Referencing a desire for a real relationship
But there you are
Encountering the person despite intentions
And I need a charge
Needing a recharge, possibly emotionally
The display is so large
Commenting on a large emotional display
And that picture is so unflattering
Referring to an unflattering image or situation
You're draining me and my battery
Feeling emotionally drained and exhausted
So I can't answer
Unable to respond to the person
The High Tech Computer Magician
Referring to an elusive and advanced person
"Decline" will automatically transfer you
Automatically redirecting calls to voicemail
To voicemail
Offering an alternative to direct communication
So you can leave a message
Encouraging leaving a message
I won't listen to
Declining to listen to excuses
Blame it on bad reception
Blaming communication issues on poor reception
Try and try again you can't get through
Expressing difficulty in reaching them
Like I can't get through to you
Comparing difficulty in communication to relationship issues
That we were never anything really but we're through
Acknowledging the end of a relationship
I know it sounds romantic and silly but it's true
Recognizing the romantic but true nature of the situation
What do you want I should do?
Asking for guidance on how to handle the situation
I could change all the locks
Contemplating drastic actions to prevent access
Or I could turn back the clock
Suggesting the possibility of reversing time
And you call me a cock, but I'm not, so you call me a lot, and you got what you want, now it's all that you got, we fought and we fought and you came out on top, but now it must stop.
Recalling past conflicts and asserting the need to stop
So maybe you could call me sometime
Expressing openness to communication under certain conditions
When you're having trouble getting to sleep
Suggesting being supportive during difficult times
And I can be cool to be unkind
Claiming the ability to be indifferent or harsh
And you'll listen to me
Expecting the person to listen
Well aren't I just a ray of sunshine?
Ironically acknowledging a sarcastic tone
But this is a set-up, and you are the punchline:
Revealing a planned setup and the person as the outcome
"Maybe you can call me sometime..."
Repeating the invitation to call, possibly insincerely
