Senses
Navigating Existence: Embracing the Dichotomy of Self in Marisa Nahas' 'Senses'
Lyrics
How do you feel alive?
Questioning the experience of feeling alive and seeking understanding.
It's all so black and white
Expressing a simplistic or binary perspective on life.
Try to love me through your eyes
Asking for love to be perceived through the partner's perspective.
And suddenly I'm blind
Experiencing a sudden loss of clarity or understanding.
I care too much for you
Acknowledging a strong sense of caring for someone.
I might lose touch of me
Concern about losing one's identity in the process of caring for someone else.
To taste what perfect means
Expressing a desire to experience perfection and understand its meaning.
The person of your dreams
Referring to the idealized person in the dream or imagination.
Mmm-mm
Non-verbal sounds, possibly representing emotional states or contemplation.
Mmm-mm
-Mmm-mm
-It's like there's two of me
Feeling divided into two aspects of oneself.
The one I used to be
Reflecting on a past version of oneself.
And who I'm becoming
Navigating the transition between past and evolving self.
But now I'm in between
Expressing being in a state of transition or uncertainty.
Oh now I'm in between
-I'm losing all my senses
Experiencing a loss or distortion of sensory perception.
Watching me from your perspective
Observing oneself from the partner's point of view, possibly feeling judged or evaluated.
I'm not in this body
Feeling detached from one's physical self, emphasizing emotional connection.
All it can feel is your eyes
Highlighting the influence of the partner's gaze on emotional experience.
I'm not in this body
Expressing a sense of paralysis or emotional immobilization.
And now I'm just paralyzed
Describing a state of emotional and physical stillness.
I think I'm getting there
Indicating a sense of progress or nearing a destination in personal growth.
Not who I was last year
Acknowledging personal transformation over the past year.
I know but I can't feel
Acknowledging awareness but an inability to emotionally connect.
So I just wanted to be real
Expressing a desire for authenticity and truth in self-expression.
Oh I just want to be real
Reiterating the desire to be genuine and true to oneself.
