Super Black
Embracing Shadows: Super Black's Heartfelt Pretense
Lyrics
Something has gone away
Something valuable or significant has been lost or removed.
And we won't get it back – no
There's no possibility of recovering what has been lost.
Now tell me should I stay
The speaker is contemplating whether to stay or leave.
Dressed in super black
The speaker is wearing something symbolically dark or mysterious (super black).
I can pretend
The speaker can adopt a false persona.
To be just someone that I'm not
The speaker can pretend to be someone they are not.
That you're the only one I've got
The person addressed is the only significant one in the speaker's life.
That I can always understand
The speaker claims to always understand the addressed person.
That I don't see the lies at hand
The speaker acknowledges a difficulty in seeing or recognizing deception.
If you don't wanna know i ain't gonna show
The speaker won't reveal unpleasant truths if the person doesn't want to know.
I can go on and pretend
The speaker can continue pretending.
Right on till the end
The pretense can persist until the end of a situation.
Don't you wanna hear the words
The speaker questions if the listener wants to hear certain words.
That I would have to say
Implying there are words the speaker is hesitant to express.
Too many I love you's answered right away
Too many immediate responses to "I love you" may be insincere.
I can pretend
The speaker can adopt a false persona (repeated).
To be just someone that I'm not

That you're the only one I've got

That I can always understand

That I don't see the lies at hand

If you don't wanna know i ain't gonna show

Right on till the end
The pretense can persist until the end of a situation (repeated).
