Soma
Escape from Love's Deception
Lyrics
Nothing left to say
Feeling a lack of words or expression.
And all I've left to do
Completed all tasks or actions.
Is run away
Choosing to escape or avoid.
From you
Directing the escape from a specific person.
And she led me on, down
Being led into a situation with concealed truths.
With secrets I can't keep
Holding secrets that cannot be retained.
Close your eyes and sleep
Encouraging someone to rest peacefully.
Don't wait up for me
Advising not to wait for the speaker's return.
Hush now don't you speak
Urging silence.
To me
Discouraging communication.
Wrapped my hurt in you
Using someone to find comfort but enduring pain.
And took my shelter in that pain
Finding refuge in the pain caused by the person.
The opiate of blame
Blaming the addictive quality of blame.
Is your broken heart, heart, your heart
Identifying the source of blame as a broken heart.
I'm all by myself
Expressing isolation.
As I've always felt
Long-standing feeling of being alone.
And I'll betray my tears
Revealing inner pain to others.
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
Warning others about the deception of a foolish plan.
One last kiss from me, yeah
Offering a final gesture of affection.
One last kiss good night
Wishing a last good night through a kiss.
Didn't want to lose you once again
Expressing a desire not to experience loss again.
Didn't want to be your friend
Rejecting the role of a friend.
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
Fulfilling a commitment made insincerely.
And crawled back to you
Returning despite earlier departure.
I'm all by myself (close your eyes and sleep)
Reiteration of isolation and the advice for rest.
As I've always felt (don't wait up for me)…
Reaffirming the enduring sense of solitude and the request not to wait.
