Unveiling Silence: A Poetic Tale of Hidden Emotions
Lyrics
A badly wrapped present on the bedside table
A poorly wrapped gift is placed on the bedside table.
If you could console me, I'd hand it right over
If you could comfort me emotionally, I would willingly share the gift.
Knotted ribbons, you can kinda see the box
Ribbons on the gift are tied in knots, revealing some aspects of the box.
Take a walk with me around these city blocks
Inviting someone to take a stroll around city blocks.
I know there isn't much to convey
Acknowledgment that there isn't much to express or communicate.
I rarely hear the words you say
Expressing the infrequency of hearing the words spoken by someone.
You rarely say anything at all
Noting that the person rarely speaks at all.
So please don't stay in touch
Requesting the person not to maintain contact.
Please don't resent me when I keep to myself
Asking not to be resented when choosing to be alone.
That badly wrapped present, hidden on the back shelf
The poorly wrapped gift is now hidden on a distant shelf.
Knotted ribbons you can barely hear a thing
The ribbons on the gift are difficult to perceive, suggesting secrecy.
The only thing's for sure, your phone will never ring
Ensuring that the phone will not ring, implying a lack of communication.
I know there isn't much to convey
Reiteration that there isn't much to express or communicate.
I rarely hear the words you say
Highlighting the rarity of hearing the spoken words of the person.
You rarely say anything at all
Emphasizing the person's tendency to remain silent.
So please don't stay in touch
Reiterating the request for no continued contact.
I always hear the words you say
Contradiction, now claiming to always hear the spoken words of the person.
You look so good on the display
Complimenting the person's appearance when seen on display.
But the sign says do not touch
Warning not to physically interact, as indicated by a sign saying "do not touch."
Do not touch
Repeating the cautionary statement not to touch.
