Unraveling Emotions: A Tale of Disillusionment
Lyrics
I can't stand the way you laugh
I find your laughter intolerable
At everything that holds me back
Your amusement at hindrances bothers me
Take your outgrown clothes
Take away your clothes that no longer fit
From this abandoned home
Leave this deserted home
And get your fucking life on track
Take control of your life
I can't stand the way you act
I dislike your behavior
Around your stupid fucking friends
Especially when you're with your foolish friends
You're so full of yourself
You're excessively self-absorbed
Don't ask for my help
Don't seek my assistance
Figure it out on your own
Solve your problems independently
Figure it out on your own
Reiterated emphasis on self-reliance
Fucking figure it out on your own
Strong insistence on figuring things out independently
I took our framed memories
I disposed of our framed memories
Destroyed them on the sidewalk
Destroyed them publicly
You can hear the disappointment
The disappointment in my voice is evident when I speak
In my voice when I talk
Expressing dissatisfaction with the situation
By tomorrow morning
Anticipating your departure by tomorrow
You'll be gone I know it's my fault
Recognizing responsibility for your leaving
This silence it kills me
The silence in our relationship is painful for me
Living life with the sound off
Living a muted or unfulfilled life
I took our framed memories
Reiteration of disposing framed memories
Destroyed them on the sidewalk
Repeating the act of destroying memories in a public place
You can hear the disappointment
Reemphasizing the disappointment in communication
In my voice when I talk
Reiterating dissatisfaction in spoken words
By tomorrow morning
Expecting your departure by the next morning
You'll be gone I know it's my fault
Acknowledging responsibility for your impending departure
This silence it kills me
The quietness in our relationship is distressing to me
Living life with the sound off
Living a life without meaningful sounds or communication
Living life with the sound off
Living in a state of emotional silence
