Dark Exchange
Unveiling Shadows: Phoebe Collins' Dark Exchange Revealed
Lyrics
Static, sound
Feeling of stillness, absence of movement
There's movement underground
Activity or change happening beneath the surface
Something fades
Something disappearing or becoming less prominent
A dark exchange
An intense and mysterious interaction
Like subways in the tunnel
Comparison to subway activity, hidden or unnoticed actions
Like two ships in the night
Two entities passing by without connecting
Everyone looks like somebody else
People resembling others, perhaps losing individuality
In the deep unending night
In the profound darkness of the night
I see through both the windows
Understanding from different perspectives
And I see through both your eyes
Perceiving the world through someone else's viewpoint
Everyone looks for somebody else
Searching for someone else when things go wrong
When something isn't right, isn't right
A sense that something is amiss
(It isn't right!)
Reinforcing the feeling that something is wrong
Isn't right, something isn't right
Reiteration of a sense of discomfort or unease
A hidden touch
A subtle connection that is not tangible
Is nothing close enough
Nothing is physically close enough
No other way
No alternative or escape
A dark exchange
Repetition of the theme of a mysterious and intense interaction
Like strangers in the tunnel
Comparing encounters to being strangers in a hidden place
Like two dreams in the night
Parallel experiences like dreams in the night
Everyone looks like somebody else
Loss of individuality in the uncertain light
In the long unsteady light
Finding someone on a different level of existence
I find you on another plane
Unable to make direct eye contact
But I can't meet your eyes
Seeking others when something feels wrong
Everyone looks for somebody else
A recurring theme of searching for someone when troubled
When something isn't right, isn't right
Emphasizing that something is indeed wrong
(It isn't right!)
Reiteration of the feeling that things are not right
Isn't right, something
Continuation of the unease or dissatisfaction
Like two screams in the tunnel
Parallel experiences resembling screams in an enclosed space
Like whispers in the night
Soft and private communication in the darkness
Everything is lost again
A sense of losing everything at the beginning of the day
At the break of morning light
Being scattered and avoiding direct eye contact
I am scattered everywhere
Dispersal and avoidance due to fear
Afraid to meet your eyes
Affirming that things are not right
This isn't right
Reiteration of the sense of discomfort
(It isn't right!)
Reaffirming that something is wrong
Something, something isn't right
Repetition of the idea that something is not right
I haven't talked to you lately
Lack of recent communication and uncertainty about someone's whereabouts
Wonder where you've been
Curiosity about someone's recent activities
Nothing like I remember
A contrast between current circumstances and past memories
Withdrawn, within
Withdrawing and becoming introverted
It's not enough to be my own body
A realization that self-identity alone is insufficient
It's not enough to know you in dreams
The inadequacy of knowing someone only in dreams
It's not enough to whisper sweet nothings
Expressing that sweet words alone are insufficient
Just say what you mean
Emphasis on clear and direct communication
