Light The Way
Burning Desires: Mikky Ekko's Haunting Reflections on Love and Longing
Lyrics
Feel like a creep
Expressing a sense of unease or discomfort
Less that you give, the more I want you
Desire intensifies with reduced reciprocation
You call me a freak
Labeling with a derogatory term, feeling judged
Hanging around, the ghost that haunts you
Being present, yet a lingering reminder of the past
I know (I know)
Acknowledging awareness
I been (I been)
Experiencing a certain state
Alone (alone)
Isolation
Too long (too long)
Prolonged duration of solitude
You all (you all)
Reference to everyone
Ways said (ways said)
Verbal affirmation of past statements
That I was good for nothing
Perceived worthlessness
I put my playlist on, oh oh
Engaging in personal music selection
And you hate every song, oh oh
Disapproval of all songs chosen
We are, we are, we know we're not the same as yesterday
Identity assertion despite changes
We all, we always set ourselves on fire to light the way
Collective self-immolation for progress
Future is bleak
Negative outlook on the future
Hands of the clock, the hands that taunt you
Symbolic time as a tormentor
So fucking cheap
Emotional devaluation
Just how I feel, the man that wants you
Desire for someone deemed unworthy
I know (I know)
Reiteration of current emotional state
I been (I been)
Continuation of a certain condition
Alone (alone)
Isolation
Too long (too long)
Persisting in prolonged solitude
You all (you all)
Reference to everyone
Ways said (ways said)
Verbal affirmation of past statements
That I was good for nothing
Perceived worthlessness
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out of this place
Strong determination to escape the current situation
I've gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Reiteration of the need to escape
We are, we are, we know we're not the same as yesterday
Identity assertion despite changes
We all, we always set ourselves on fire to light the way
Collective self-immolation for progress
We are, we are, we know we're not the same as yesterday
Identity assertion despite changes
We all, we always set ourselves on fire to light the way
Collective self-immolation for progress
You love is such a cannonball
Love described as destructive and powerful
You'll sail what you waiting for
Encouragement to take action
You'll soar like a cannonball, like a cannonball, like a cannonball, splash
Positive imagery of soaring like a cannonball
I've drunk an ocean everyday
Excessive consumption, possibly of emotions
I've poured myself into the sea
Losing oneself in vast emotions or experiences
I don't belong
Feeling out of place
I don't know what I have till more is shown to me
Realization of value only when revealed
I don't come down, I want it all
Desire for completeness and fulfillment
I want your pain, I want your peace
Seeking both pain and peace
'Til it's all a force on me
Continued pursuit until complete immersion
We are, we are, we know we're not the same as yesterday
Identity assertion despite changes
We all, we always set ourselves on fire to light the way
Collective self-immolation for progress
We are, we are, we know we're not the same as yesterday
Identity assertion despite changes
We all, we always set ourselves on fire to light the way
Collective self-immolation for progress
