Masterpiece Theatre I
Unveiling Hidden Desires: Masterpiece Theatre I Explained
Lyrics
First it comes on quiet, creeping slow
Introduction to a slow and quiet emergence of emotions or thoughts.
Clever words and phrases only stain
Well-crafted words and expressions leave a lasting impact.
I remain so lost and buried under everything I need
Feeling overwhelmed and obscured by various responsibilities and desires.
When all I want it you
Expressing a strong desire for someone specific.
I've been here so very long
Long duration of emotional struggle or contemplation.
And every word is calculated
Words chosen carefully, possibly with hidden motives.
Never questioned or debated
Actions and statements are predetermined and not open to discussion.
All these practiced poses
Engaging in practiced behaviors and personas.
I could wreck it I had to
Capable of causing damage but hesitant to do so.
But I'm the wreck so what would that do?
Despite potential harm, the speaker is already damaged.
My masterpiece will fall apart
The speaker's creation or accomplishment is falling apart.
It was over before the start
Failure occurred even before the project began.
If I burn out and slip away
Contemplation of fading away and losing significance.
If this is just a part I portray
Wondering if the current state is just a role being played.
If this is just a part I portray
Reiteration of the possibility that it's just an act.
You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile?
Seeking solace and refuge in someone considered beautiful.
If this is just a part I portray
Repeating the uncertainty about the authenticity of the role.
If this is just a part I portray
Continued uncertainty about the authenticity of the role.
They keep mostly to themselves
Others keep to themselves, possibly avoiding engagement.
Don't make a sound incase they hear you
Advising silence to avoid detection or judgment.
It only hurts me to be near you
Proximity to someone is painful.
Keep those tired eyes closed
Suggesting closing one's eyes to avoid emotional distress.
Careful, follow my instruction
Guiding someone cautiously, possibly towards self-destruction.
And I will show you self-destruction
The speaker will demonstrate the path to self-destruction.
This masterpiece is only mine
The masterpiece belongs exclusively to the speaker.
Entirely guilty by design
The speaker takes full responsibility for intentional faults.
If I burn out and slip away
Reiteration of the contemplation of fading away.
If this is just a part I portray
Questioning if the current state is merely a role being played.
If this is just a part I portray
Reiterating the uncertainty about the authenticity of the role.
You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile?
Seeking refuge in someone considered beautiful.
If this is just a part I portray
Continued uncertainty about the authenticity of the role.
Can I hide in you awhile?
Expressing a desire to find solace in someone.
I just can't let it, let it out
A struggle to keep inner feelings hidden.
I just can't let it out
Difficulty in expressing and revealing true emotions.
I just can't let it, let it out
Continued struggle to express and reveal true emotions.
I just can't let it out
Ongoing challenge to disclose inner thoughts and feelings.
I just can't let it, let it out
Persistent difficulty in opening up emotionally.
I just can't let it out
Continued struggle with emotional expression.
I just can't let it, let it out
Ongoing challenge of revealing inner emotions.
I just can't let it out
Difficulty persisting in expressing true feelings.
If this is just a part I portray
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the authenticity of the role.
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
Seeking refuge in someone considered beautiful.
You're beautiful
Affirmation of the beauty of the person in question.
If this is just a part I portray
Repeating the uncertainty about the authenticity of the role.
If this is just a part I portray
Continued uncertainty about the authenticity of the role.
I don't know how it got this way
Expressing confusion about the current situation.
