Lyrics
Give me a smile that doesn't sting in my eyes
Seeking a genuine and non-hurtful smile in your presence.
Give me a kiss that doesn't taste like strawberries
Desiring a kiss that lacks artificial or overly sweet flavors like strawberries.
Give me a handshake that isn't soft and lotioned
Requesting a firm handshake, avoiding softness and excessive lotion.
Give me a glance that says you're really here
Yearning for a meaningful gaze that assures your true presence.
Give me your time without me owing you mine
Wishing for your time without feeling obligated to reciprocate.
Lend me your ear make me believe you really hear
Asking for genuine attention and belief when sharing thoughts.
Give me your opinion, regardless of how you might think I may react
Desiring honest opinions, regardless of potential reactions.
Tell me a story that will make me feel
Wanting to hear a story that evokes genuine emotions.
Nothing I say, that I say, will ever matter
Expressing a sense of futility, suggesting that spoken words may never have significance.
Nothing I do, that I do, will ever reach you
Conveying a sense of distance, implying that actions may never impact the intended recipient.
Nothing I say, that I say, will ever be listened to
Expressing frustration that spoken words may never be truly heard or acknowledged.
Nothing I do, that I do, will make a difference
Conveying a feeling of powerlessness, suggesting actions may not bring about change.
Give me a hug that doesn't smell like flowers
Desiring a hug without the artificial scent of flowers.
Give me an advice that I don't want to hear
Requesting advice that may be difficult to hear but is genuinely needed.
Offer me a cigarette, even at times when you know I try to quit
Asking for understanding, even when attempting to quit a habit like smoking.
Tell me I'm wrong when I try to explain
Yearning for acknowledgment, even if it means being told you're wrong.
Nothing I say, that I say, will ever matter
Reiterating the sense of insignificance in spoken words.
Nothing I do, that I do, will ever reach you
Reiterating the perceived lack of impact in one's actions.
Nothing I say, that I say, will ever be listened to
Re-emphasizing the frustration of not being truly listened to.
Nothing I do, that I do, will make a difference
Re-emphasizing the feeling of inability to make a significant difference through actions.
We're so covered up in oil it's hard to find any friction in real life
Reflecting on the difficulty of finding genuine connection amid societal influences ("oil" symbolizing external factors).
Perhaps that's why so many constantly scream through a screen
Suggesting that the prevalence of virtual communication leads to people expressing themselves more forcefully through screens.
