More of Me
Unveiling Shadows: A Cry for More in Lydia Halloway's 'More of Me'
Lyrics
Green light, we take the back roads
Expressing a willingness to take unconventional paths or explore alternative routes in life.
It's a cold night here on the east coast
Describing the current weather as cold, possibly setting a tone for the emotional atmosphere.
Everything's right, but I don't know why baby
Acknowledging that everything seems right, yet there's an unexplained uncertainty or uneasiness.
I don't open up to you, but I want to
Expressing a desire to open up emotionally to someone, despite hesitation.
I'm holding back, don't show my cracks
Choosing not to reveal vulnerabilities or weaknesses.
I'm scared you'll ask why
Fearful of being questioned about emotional barriers.
You haven't seen how I cry yet, honestly
Stating that the depth of emotional pain hasn't been fully revealed yet.
You don't know how good at lying I can be
Admitting proficiency in deception or concealing true feelings.
You've only seen what I wanted you to see
Highlighting that only a curated version of the persona has been presented so far.
And I need you to need a little more of me
Expressing a need for deeper emotional connection and understanding.
Of me, eh, hey yeah
Reiterating the desire for more emotional involvement.
Of me, eh, hey yeah
Continuing the plea for a deeper connection and understanding.
I think a little too much
Acknowledging overthinking tendencies, possibly leading to inner turmoil.
And I laugh at all the worst stuff
Using humor to cope with challenging situations or emotions.
Maybe I can pass for having it all on track
Suggesting an ability to present a facade of having life under control.
And maybe you need someone like that
Indicating a potential need for a partner who appreciates this facade.
But I'm holding back, cover my tracks
Continuing to withhold true emotions, creating a sense of mystery.
I hope you ask why
Expressing a hope for the partner to inquire about hidden emotions.
You haven't seen how I cry yet, honestly
Repeating the theme of undisclosed emotional pain.
You don't know how good at lying I can be
Acknowledging skill in maintaining a false image.
You've only seen what I wanted you to see
Emphasizing that the partner has seen only a curated version of the persona.
And I need you to need a little more of me
Restating the need for a deeper emotional connection.
A little more of, a little more of, a little more of
Repeating the plea for more emotional involvement.
You haven't seen how I cry yet, honestly
Reiterating that the partner hasn't witnessed the full extent of emotional pain.
You don't know how good at lying I can be
Acknowledging proficiency in deception.
You've only seen what I wanted you to see
Reemphasizing that the partner has seen a curated version of the persona.
And I need you to need a little more of me
Concluding with the ongoing plea for a deeper emotional connection.
