Missing
Seeking Light, Finding Shadows: Unraveling the Depths of Mariposa Velasquez's 'Missing'
Lyrics
I wonder why
I am curious about the reason
You can't stay inside
You prefer not to stay indoors
And clear out your mind
Take time to clear your thoughts
Honey, just be with me
Expressing a desire for companionship
I get so tired of not being desired
I feel weary due to a lack of affection
I never was the bad guy
Claiming innocence, not being the villain
But honey we'll see
There's uncertainty, but time will tell
We'll see, we'll see
Emphasizing the need to wait and observe
You say things a woman likes to hear
You speak words that please a woman
When you're always needing something
Constant need suggests underlying issues
I've still got my fears
Despite assurances, there are lingering fears
Feels like you're faking
Suspecting insincerity or deception
So you can hang out with the queens
Implying a desire to associate with glamorous individuals
It starts to feel like you are trying to choose between
A feeling of being in competition with a lifestyle
Me and the scene
The dilemma of choosing between love and a glamorous scene
I wonder why
Repetition of the curiosity about the reason
You can't stay inside
Reiteration of the preference for being outside
And clear out your mind
Repeating the call to clear one's mind
Honey, just be with me
Reiterating the desire for companionship
I get so tired of not being desired
Continued frustration due to a lack of affection
I never was the bad guy
Reasserting innocence, not being the villain
But honey we'll see
Re-emphasizing the uncertainty and need to wait
We'll see, we'll see
Repeated emphasis on waiting and observing
Tell me not to worry
Requesting reassurance and dismissal of concerns
Say that I'm crazy
Labeling doubts as irrational
Overthinking all your words
Concerns about overanalyzing spoken words
I know what you're seeking
Understanding the true desires behind actions
And you won't find it in that world
Recognition that fulfillment is not in a particular lifestyle
It stands in front of you, if you opened your eyes
The solution is apparent if one pays attention
You'd see what you're missing
Highlighting what is being overlooked or ignored
Oh, it's my life you trade for lights
A plea to value the relationship over external allure
When they start fading
Anticipating the fading of superficial attractions
I won't be waiting
Expressing a lack of patience for waiting indefinitely
And when you find what's been lost inside
Encouraging self-discovery and understanding
And see what I've been saying
Validation of earlier concerns and statements
You were so mistaken
Asserting a previous misunderstanding
While I wondered why
Reflecting on the ongoing curiosity
You couldn't stay inside
Reiterating the desire for introspection
And clear out your mind
Re-emphasizing the need to clear one's mind
You'd never just be with me
Stating a perceived lack of commitment
I got so tired
Expressing exhaustion due to unmet desires
Of not being desired
Continued frustration over a lack of affection
Now I see the bad guy
A realization that the blame lies elsewhere
It was never me, you'll see
Asserting innocence and predicting acknowledgment
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see
Reiterating the anticipation of understanding
