Craving Attention: A Dance of Misunderstood Signals
Lyrics
I'm talking to ya
The singer is trying to communicate.
Are your conversing back
Asking if the listener is responding or engaging in conversation.
It depends
The listener's response depends on something.
I don't know what's in your head
The singer doesn't know what thoughts are in the listener's mind.
And now your out bouncing all over the room
The listener is energetic and moving around the room with friends.
With your friends
The listener is socializing with friends.
And now you're not even friends
Now, the listener and the singer are not even friends.
Yeah your talking with your fist
The listener is expressing themselves aggressively.
Cause you don't know what it means
The listener doesn't comprehend the singer's intentions.
And you're taking everything I say so literally
The listener takes everything the singer says too seriously.
when attention was the only thing that you need
Attention was the only thing the listener sought.
Yeah your talking with your fist
Repetition of expressing oneself aggressively.
Cause you don't know what it means
The listener's inability to understand the singer's meaning.
And I'm taking everything you say so literally
The singer takes everything the listener says too seriously.
when attention was the only thing that you need
Attention was the sole requirement for the listener.
You're in between two different moods
The listener is experiencing conflicting emotions.
That I can't understand
The singer cannot comprehend the listener's emotions.
I don't think you understand
Doubt if the listener comprehends the situation.
You're indecisive
The listener is unsure or wavering in decision-making.
And you're running around what you said
The listener is contradicting their own statements/actions.
What I wish you hadn't said
The singer wishes the listener hadn't said something.
Yeah your talking with your fist
Reiteration of the listener expressing themselves aggressively.
Cause you don't know what it means
The listener's inability to comprehend the situation.
And you're taking everything I say so literally
The listener takes the singer's words too literally.
when attention was the only thing that you need
The listener sought attention as the primary need.
Yeah your talking with your fist
Repetition of expressing oneself aggressively.
Cause you don't know what it means
The listener's inability to understand the situation.
And I'm taking everything you say so literally
The singer takes the listener's words too seriously.
when attention was the only thing that you need
Attention was the sole requirement for the listener.
