I Don't Even Like You
Ghosted Reflections: Embracing Independence Amidst Broken Bonds
Lyrics
Open your ears
Encouragement to listen attentively.
Dissolve the facade
Suggests breaking down false appearances.
And embrace the growing distance
Embrace the growing emotional distance.
Being a ghost is what I employ
Being emotionally detached or unnoticed.
I taste the indifference
Experiencing a sense of indifference.
And I guess it's hard to be happy for you
Difficulty in being happy for someone.
When you fled after the bomb hit
Refers to a past event, possibly a traumatic one.
But I've been just fine being distant from you
Content with the emotional distance.
With nothing here to hold me in
No emotional ties or reasons to stay.
Nothing here to hold me in
Reiteration of emotional detachment.
You should slam your doors and lock 'em
Suggests shutting someone out.
I don't even like you anyway
Expressing dislike for the person.
Leave me and leave me nothing
Desire for separation and nothing in return.
Cast me off and send me on my way
Wishing to be discarded and left alone.
And if you decide to
Conditional statement about a decision.
'Cause it's so like you
Comparing behavior to a known pattern.
I can save you all the trouble
Offering to spare unnecessary trouble.
'Cause I don't even like you anyway
Reiterating the dislike for the person.
I don't even like you
Emphatic repetition of not liking the person.
I can't indulge in more of the same
Unwillingness to engage in repetitive experiences.
Living life on empty
Living life with a sense of emptiness.
'Cause these silent bones are now ready to live
Ready to live again after a silent period.
And reclaim all that you take
Reclaiming what was taken, possibly independence.
For the pain was a choice that you had to make
Pain as a conscious choice made by the person.
So I think that you can take it
Acceptance of enduring pain willingly.
When I do decide to fuel the agony
Using agony for personal benefit when needed.
And use it for my sake
Utilizing pain for self-advancement.
Don't shake, 'cause
Suggests maintaining composure despite emotions.
You can shred all of our pictures
Symbolic act of destroying shared memories.
I don't even like you anyway
Reiteration of not liking the person.
Go and dump out all the pieces
Disposing of the remnants of the relationship.
That you harvested and threw away
Throwing away the collected remnants.
And if you decide to
Conditional statement about a decision.
'Cause it's so like you
Reference to a familiar pattern of behavior.
I can save you all the trouble
Offering to spare unnecessary trouble.
'Cause I don't even like you anyway
Reiterating the dislike for the person.
You should slam your doors and lock 'em
Suggesting shutting someone out again.
I don't even like you anyway
Expressing dislike for the person again.
Leave me and leave me nothing
Desire for separation and nothing in return again.
Cast me off and send me on my way
Wishing to be discarded and left alone again.
You should slam your doors and lock 'em
Repetition of shutting someone out.
I don't even like you anyway
Repetition of expressing dislike for the person.
Leave me and leave me nothing
Repetition of desire for separation.
Cast me off and send me on my way
Repetition of wishing to be discarded.
And if you decide to
Conditional statement about a decision.
'Cause it's so like you
Comparing behavior to a known pattern.
I can save you all the trouble
Offering to spare unnecessary trouble.
'Cause I don't even like you anyway
Reiterating the dislike for the person.
I don't even like you anyway
Emphatic repetition of not liking the person.
I don't even like you
Final confirmation of not liking the person.
