Needing You
Yearning Echoes: Love's Struggle in Machines with Human Skin's 'Needing You'
Lyrics
I don't know where we go from here but down
Uncertainty about the future, anticipating a downward trajectory.
You're deep inside my head and pulling me to the ground
Intense influence, feeling mentally burdened and grounded.
I should've walked away so many years ago
Regret about not ending the relationship earlier.
I never thought that I'd still feel so fucking low
Surprising ongoing emotional distress despite expectations.
When I close my eyes I always see your face
Persistent mental imagery of the person's face with closed eyes.
And every doubt I had is gone without a trace
Doubts erased, suggesting a profound positive change.
You've got me under your thumb and under your spell
Feeling controlled and enchanted by the person.
Can't tell if I'm in heaven or in hell
Confusion about the nature of the relationship, oscillating between extremes.
Once I thought about leaving you
Contemplation of leaving the person.
Now I feel like I'm needing you
A shift in perspective, realizing a need for the person.
Not a day has gone by
Reflecting on the continuous presence of thoughts about the person.
Where you haven't crossed my mind
A constant mental association with the person.
If being with you is wrong then I don't want to be right
Choosing emotional connection over societal norms.
I know where I want to go tonight
Clear destination in mind regarding the relationship.
I can't seem to quit you now
Difficulty breaking away from the person.
I wouldn't even if I knew how
Expressing a commitment to the relationship despite challenges.
Somewhere in another life I fell in love
Reflecting on a past life where love was experienced.
I dreamed that we were written in the stars above
Imagining a destined connection symbolized by stars.
Even though I know that you're no good for me
Acknowledging the detrimental nature of the relationship.
It didn't stop me from seeking this so desperately
Pursuing the relationship despite awareness of its negative aspects.
I wish that you would tell me what to do
Desiring guidance and direction from the person.
All I want is to be next to you
Expressing a simple wish for physical closeness.
Bring me pleasure and stop my pain
Seeking pleasure and relief from emotional pain through the person.
I'm never gonna fall for you again
Commitment to avoiding emotional vulnerability in the future.
