Antisocial
Navigating Love's Maze: Embracing Imperfections in Antisocial Harmony
Lyrics
You said you'll go anywhere
You promised to go anywhere.
As long as we can complain about it after
Condition: Complaining about it afterward is allowed.
I said, "Fuck we're so antisocial"
Expressing a feeling of being antisocial.
You said, "Honestly I just don't care"
Indifference, not caring about the situation.
I've seen you attempt to fake a smile
Observation of an attempt to fake a smile.
It's pretty cute it's pretty funny
Describing the attempt as cute and funny.
You can't be anything but yourself to save your life
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity.
And I'm really good at pretending
Personal skill in pretending is acknowledged.
It's my least favorite quality
Expressing dislike for pretending.
You watch me patiently until I regain my sight
Being observed patiently until regaining clarity.
We stumble back into our house and strip each other naked
Returning home, engaging in intimate moments.
Tripping over shit, laughing the whole time
Despite clumsiness, laughter prevails.
With you I feel the most adult and the most childish
Feeling both mature and childlike with the partner.
But we've got work to do if this is for life
Acknowledging the need to work on the relationship for the long term.
So we're working on it every day
Consistently putting effort into the relationship.
It's hard and we're trying
Highlighting the difficulty of the process.
There are precedents we've set
Referring to established patterns in the relationship.
And it's a bitch to change a pattern
Changing established patterns is challenging.
And we need space apart to stay inhabiting our bodies
Recognizing the need for personal space to maintain individuality.
Not to blame the stars, but we were both born in January
Not blaming astrology but mentioning shared birth month (January).
What did we get ourselves into?
Reflection on the complexity of their commitment.
Are you scared, is it just me?
Asking if there is fear, questioning personal feelings.
I've seen you attempt to fake a smile
Reiteration of observing a fake smile attempt.
It's so cute, it's so funny
Reaffirming the cuteness and humor of the attempt.
You can't be anything but yourself to save your life
Emphasizing the necessity of being oneself.
And I'm really good at pretending
Acknowledging personal skill in pretending.
It's my least favorite quality
Reiterating dislike for the act of pretending.
You watch me patiently until I regain my sight
Being patiently observed until regaining clarity.
