Lava
Unveiling Emotions: Love, Separation, and the Lava Within
Lyrics
Frustration on your face
Frustration is evident on your face.
It's probably time we talk
Suggesting it's time for a conversation.
I'll let you speak your piece
Willing to let the other person express their thoughts.
Come down as I avoid
Avoiding confrontation as emotions rise.
The glass you left
Noticing a broken glass left on the floor.
Across the floor as if you wanted
Speculating on the intention behind the scattered glass.
Me to figure out the reason
Attempting to understand the reason for upset feelings.
You were upset, why was it again
Reflecting on past conflicts and their causes.
You want so badly to ignite
Describing the desire to trigger emotional reactions.
The sparks I leave behind my eyes
Mentioning the emotional impact left by the speaker.
But I won't let you win
Asserting the decision not to succumb to the other's desires.
Cuz I still wanna love you
Expressing an enduring love despite challenges.
But you won't let me love you
Acknowledging the resistance to receiving love.
You're the lava of a volcano

And I'm the sea, you freeze in place

When you touch me

Seemingly we didn't have the patience to complete it
Acknowledging a lack of patience to solve relationship challenges.
And this was not a game to me
Emphasizing the seriousness of the relationship, not a game.
Maybe this was gravity
Suggesting a gravitational force pulling the individuals apart.
Pulling us apart into separate solar systems
Metaphorically describing the separation into different worlds.
And I don't wanna fall again
Expressing reluctance to experience emotional pain again.
That "you and i can still be friends" is
Rejecting the possibility of remaining friends after a breakup.
Not a direction we can go
