Absentee
Echoes of Worthiness: Unveiling the Silent Dialogue in Paper Lady's 'Absentee'
Lyrics
From far away I see you clearly
Observing someone from a distance with clarity.
But can you say the same to me
Questioning if the other person can reciprocate the clarity of perception.
I know you're not inclined to listen to me
Acknowledging the other person's resistance to listening.
But we're running out of time
Expressing a sense of urgency due to a limited amount of time.
Is it worth it
Pondering the value of the connection.
Am I worthy
Questioning personal worthiness in the context of the relationship.
Is it worth it
Repeating the contemplation of the relationship's value.
Am I worthy
Reiterating the question of personal worthiness.
You're taking more than you give me
Noting an imbalance in what is taken and given in the relationship.
But who can blame the absentee
Suggesting that the absentee, the one who is absent, might be at fault.
It means more than it's meant to
Highlighting that the situation holds significance beyond its intended meaning.
Would things be different if you knew
Wondering if awareness would alter the course of events.
Would words mess with the stillness
Raising the question of whether words would disrupt the calmness of the situation.
I don't wanna ruin this
Expressing a desire not to spoil the current state of affairs.
You say things that make me wonder
Commenting on the other person's statements that provoke curiosity.
If you could ever open your mind
Doubting the other person's ability to open up mentally.
At this point we're at an impasse
Stating a point of deadlock in the relationship.
I know now i've gotta lead
Realizing the need to take the lead in the situation.
Hope that you don't overlook this
Hoping the other person doesn't ignore the forthcoming revelation.
I need to lay it bear
Expressing the necessity to be honest and open.
If I could hear your thoughts in patterns
Desiring to understand the other person's thoughts in a structured manner.
Maybe then there'd be no need
Suggesting that clarity in thought could eliminate the need for communication.
Is it worth it
Repeating the contemplation of the relationship's value.
Am I worthy
Questioning personal worthiness in the context of the relationship.
Is it worth it
Repeating the contemplation of the relationship's value.
Am I worthy
Reiterating the question of personal worthiness.
You're taking more than you give me
Noting an imbalance in what is taken and given in the relationship.
But who can blame the absentee
Suggesting that the absentee, the one who is absent, might be at fault.
It means more than it's meant to
Highlighting that the situation holds significance beyond its intended meaning.
Would things be different if you knew
Wondering if awareness would alter the course of events.
Would words mess with the stillness
Raising the question of whether words would disrupt the calmness of the situation.
I don't wanna ruin this
Expressing a desire not to spoil the current state of affairs.
