Lyrics
Ain't that the way it always seems to go?
A rhetorical question expressing a common observation or situation.
Want to learn, but not a thing to know
Desire to learn without available knowledge or understanding.
Struggling to find the right message to send
Difficulty in conveying the intended message.
It's not the kind of time you'd like to spend, no
Undesirable time spent in a situation.
It's a meaningful gaze from down the corridor
A significant, thoughtful look from a distance.
You've got something you want to say
The speaker has something to communicate.
But there's no way you'll get the words to me
Communication barriers prevent expressing thoughts.
You've got a feeling that you can't explain
Experiencing an unexplainable emotion or intuition.
Try and try, but it drives you insane
Frustration in attempting to understand or convey.
Ain't that the way it always seems to go?
Reiteration of the unpredictability of life's course.
These mixed emotions and no way to show them
Feeling conflicting emotions without a means of expression.
It's the meaningless game that drives us on and on
Life's purposeless pursuits that persist endlessly.
You circle round what you really mean
Circling around the true meaning or intention.
And all I know is it remains to be seen
Uncertainty about the future; outcomes are unpredictable.
Will I see too?
Questioning whether understanding will come.
When part of me and part of you
A complex relationship between the speaker and another person.
Are shading in and fading through
The blending and fading of shared experiences.
No, all I see is in all you do
The speaker's perception is influenced by the other person's actions.
Yes it is
Affirmation of a previous statement.
I don't need to explain how I express myself
Rejecting the need for explanation in self-expression.
All the actions I believe
Belief in actions as a genuine form of expression.
In passing my time until I leave
Passing time until departure, possibly referring to mortality.
The motives never kept at bay
Motives or intentions are always present, not hidden.
Though words can't convey what it is I need to say
Verbal language is insufficient to convey the speaker's needs.
