About Time
Unraveling Love's Deception: About Time by Maddie Leitch
Lyrics
Looking at the way that I talk to you
Expressing observation about communication style
It's like we're playing all these games
Describing interactions as if playing games
Cause' we lack the truth
Pointing out a lack of honesty or transparency
And I know that you're afraid
Acknowledging fear in the other person
Cause' all you do
Highlighting a recurring behavior
Is make me feel like I am
Feeling excluded or disconnected
Out the loop
Expressing being out of the loop in the relationship
And I'm tryna' understand
Attempting to understand the situation
But it's hard to do
Expressing difficulty in understanding
Cause' the times we can talk
Pointing out limited communication opportunities
You can never do
Highlighting a lack of reciprocity in communication
And i'm trying really hard to keep us together
Struggling to maintain the relationship
But it seems as though
Perceiving a weakening bond
The glue is coming loose
Metaphorically describing relationship strain
My mind is about at clear as my skin
Comparing mental clarity to physical appearance
Your lies are about as clear as this bottle of gin
Characterizing lies as transparent as a bottle of gin
And I look in your eyes
Questioning the truthfulness in the partner's eyes
And say I'm right
Asserting one's own correctness in a situation
All this dam time
Expressing frustration over wasted time
It's About dam Time
Reiterating that it's about time for something
It's About dam Time
Emphasizing the importance of the current moment
Tell me why I spent my time on you
Questioning the investment of time in the relationship
Cause' there's others with more appealing attributes
Noting the presence of more appealing options
Yeah, you're making me forget my level of patience
Impatience due to a long wait for commitment
Cause' I've waited so long to belong to you
Accusing the partner of becoming adept at manipulation
And you're gettin' really good at manipulating
Observing and learning from manipulative behavior
And I'm picking it up
Admitting awareness of manipulation
Cause' I can also place it
Asserting the ability to recognize and respond to manipulation
Guess you forgot who I was for a good second
Addressing a temporary lapse in recognition
But I'm back, and above you
Reclaiming a position of strength
Without a question
Asserting dominance without doubt
My mind is about at clear as my skin
Repeating the analogy of mental clarity to physical appearance
Your lies are about as clear as this bottle of gin
Reiterating the transparency of lies
And I look in your eyes
Challenging the partner's honesty through eye contact
And say I'm right
Insisting on one's correctness despite deception
All this dam time
Expressing frustration over prolonged deception
It's about dam time to define
Declaring the need to define emotions
All these emotions of mine
Expressing the complexity of personal emotions
I've held by my side
Referencing the endurance of personal struggles
These blindness eyes of mine
Describing challenges through metaphorical blindness
It's easy to decide what's in the best interest of mine
Asserting the ability to determine personal interests
It's harder to resign
Highlighting the difficulty of letting go
From something that was never
Questioning the legitimacy of the relationship
Classified as mine
Stating a lack of classification or ownership in the relationship
