Lyrics
(For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals)
Reflecting on the historical perspective, acknowledging that for millions of years, humans lived instinctively like animals.
(Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination)
Highlighting a pivotal event that unleashed the power of human imagination.
(We learned to talk)
Emphasizing the evolutionary development of language, the ability to talk.
There's a silence surrounding me
Describing a personal experience of being surrounded by silence.
I can't seem to think straight
Expressing difficulty in clear thinking.
I sit in the corner
Isolating oneself in a corner to avoid disturbance.
And no one can bother me
Seeking solitude where no one can interrupt.
I think I should speak now (why won't you talk to me?)
Expressing the desire to communicate but facing reluctance from the other person.
I can't seem to speak now (you never talk to me)
Struggling to articulate thoughts due to a lack of communication.
My words won't come out right (what are you thinking?)
Acknowledging difficulty in expressing oneself verbally.
I feel like I'm drowning (what are you feeling?)
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated, possibly due to emotional distress.
I'm feeling weak now (why won't you talk to me?)
Expressing vulnerability and a need for communication.
But I can't show my weakness (you never talk to me)
Suppressing personal weaknesses and vulnerabilities to maintain a facade.
I sometimes wonder (what are you thinking?)
Pondering about the thoughts of the other person.
Where do we go from here (what are you feeling?)
Questioning the direction or future of the relationship.
(It doesn't have to be like this)
Suggesting that the current state of silence and lack of communication is not the only option.
(All we need to do is make sure we keep talking)
Encouraging open communication as a solution to the existing problems.
(Why won't you talk to me?) I feel like I'm drowning
Reiterating the feeling of suffocation and the need for communication.
(You never talk to me) you know I can't breathe now
Highlighting the difficulty to breathe metaphorically due to the lack of communication.
(What are you thinking?) We're going nowhere
Expressing frustration about the relationship going nowhere without communication.
(What are you feeling?) We're going nowhere
Reiterating the stagnation in the relationship due to a lack of communication.
(Why won't you talk to me?)
Persisting desire for the other person to initiate communication.
(You never talk to me)
