Lyrics
look at me
Requesting attention, asking to be acknowledged
dammit won't you look at me
Expressing frustration at not being looked at
dont you recognize your own face
Asking if the person recognizes their own identity
man I see you
Expressing the ability to see the true self of the person addressed
i see the real you
Reiterating the recognition of the person's authentic self
lingering in the shadows of everything we do
Noticing the genuine essence in the background of their actions
do you wanna be my friend
Inquiring about potential friendship
do you wanna be my lover
Inquiring about potential romantic involvement
with you i'd travel til the end
Expressing commitment to accompany through life's journey
teach you how to breath underwater
Metaphorically offering support and guidance
you know I believe in you
Expressing belief and faith in the addressed person
but they will never see the way we do wou wanna hide
Highlighting the contrast between their perception and the outside world's understanding, suggesting a desire for concealment
i wanna feel alive
Desire for vitality and a sense of being truly alive
but they won't see us til we step into the light
Recognition that they won't be noticed until they reveal themselves
step into the light
Emphasis on stepping into visibility or revealing oneself
step into the light
-step into the light
-love me
Request for affection or love
show me that you love me then step out of the shadow that's growing in your heart
Asking to step away from emotional darkness or secrecy
i hold me
Self-assertion or self-preservation
watch the world unfolding
Observing the unfolding of the world
your light is showing me the way
Recognition of the addressed person's guidance and influence
your light is showing me the way
-you know I believe in you
Reiteration of belief and faith in the addressed person
but they will never see the way we do wou wanna hide
Reiterating the contrast between their perception and the external understanding, hinting at a desire to remain hidden
i wanna feel alive
Yearning for a genuine sense of vitality and aliveness
but they won't see us til we step into the light
Acknowledgment that they won't be noticed until they reveal themselves
step into the light
Repeated emphasis on stepping into visibility or revealing oneself
step into the light
-step into the light
