Two Minutes
Two Minutes: A Heart's Quick Unraveling
Lyrics
Cracked against a wall, my heart spills out
Feeling emotionally broken, my heart is exposed against a metaphorical wall.
Over the hardest part, I know it well
Despite facing challenges, I am familiar with overcoming difficulties.
Plays out in milliseconds in my brain
The situation replays rapidly in my mind, almost instantly.
But it took only two minutes to explain
It only took two minutes to convey and explain the situation.
I don't need you, I don't need to talk
I assert independence, expressing I don't need to communicate or depend on someone.
I don't need space or time to blow this off
I don't require time or space to deal with this.
Maybe this time you'll come back around, but I hope that you don't
There's a possibility of reconciliation, but the speaker hopes it doesn't happen.
Just please leave me alone
A plea for solitude, asking the other person to leave.
Who am I but the one who knows what to do
The speaker questions their identity in a situation where they know what needs to be done.
When the line gets crossed all signs point to you
When boundaries are crossed, all signs point to the other person.
Sailed away on a ticking time bomb
Metaphor of sailing away on a dangerous situation with no clear direction.
With nowhere to go and nothing to be but years of my life just lost at sea
The speaker feels lost with no purpose for years.
I don't need you, I don't need to talk
Reiteration of independence and lack of need for communication.
I don't need space or time to blow this off
The speaker doesn't need time or space to cope.
Maybe this time you'd come back around, but I hope that you don't
Hopeful that the person won't return, reinforcing the desire for solitude.
Just please leave me alone
Repetition of the plea to be left alone.
Alone, alone, please just leave me alone
Emphasizing the plea for solitude and being alone.
Alone, alone
Reiteration of the desire to be alone.
I don't need you, I don't need to talk
Reaffirmation of independence and lack of need for communication.
I don't need space or time to blow this off
Emphasizing the lack of need for time or space to cope.
Maybe this time you'd come back around, but I hope that you don't
Hopeful that the person won't return, emphasizing the desire for solitude.
No, I don't need you to know how to walk
Asserting that the speaker doesn't need the other person to guide them.
I don't need space or time to blow this off
Reiteration of independence and lack of need for time or space.
Maybe this time you'll come back around, but I hope that you don't
Hopeful that the person might return but expressing the hope that they don't.
Oh but I hope you don't
Repetition of the hope that the person doesn't return.
Oh but I hope you don't
Continued repetition of the hope for solitude.
Please just leave me alone
Final plea for being left alone.
Alone, alone
Emphasizing the desire to be alone.
