Lyrics
With this makeup
Using makeup to alter appearance
You look different
Noticeable change in physical appearance
He only knows you
Recognition only in a performance context
By your stage name
Known by a public persona or alias
Conversation
Dialogue causing hesitation
Left him hesitating
Avoidance of emotional vulnerability
No room for breaking hearts in this here dream
No space for heartbreak in aspirations
What do you need from me?
Inquiry about needs in the relationship
All of my sympathy, yeah
Offering understanding and compassion
What do you need from me?
Repeated inquiry about needs
All of my sympathy
Continued offer of sympathy
Crash and burn our love is fucked up makeup
Relationship turmoil and chaos
This is not the real me
Presenting a facade rather than authenticity
This is fake love
Describing love as artificial
Feeling like the world's going down on me
Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges
And I am in the dark
Experiencing emotional darkness
From the explosionary dying star
Metaphorical reference to a dying relationship
Without makeup
Acknowledging the absence of makeup
Violet looks different
Appearance without makeup is different
Do you know her by her real name?
Questioning recognition without makeup
Conversation left you hesitating
Similar hesitation in conversation
No room for breaking hearts in this here dream
Emphasizing the dream's constraints on emotions
What do you need from me?
Repeated inquiry about needs
All of my sympathy, yeah
Offering sympathy again
What do you need from me?
Reiteration of the question about needs
All of my sympathy
Continued willingness to provide sympathy
Crash and burn our love is fucked up makeup
Reiteration of relationship turmoil
This is not the real me
Highlighting the disparity between real and presented self
This is fake love
Reiterating the artificial nature of love
Feeling like the world's going down on me
Feeling overwhelmed continues
And I am in the dark
Persisting in emotional darkness
From the explosionary dying star
Reference to the end of a significant relationship
It's not your business
Personal matters are not open to discussion
It's mine
Assertion of personal privacy
It's not your business
Reiteration of privacy and personal boundaries
It's mine
Asserting ownership of personal issues
Just stay where you are
Encouragement to maintain distance
Keep far
Emphasizing the need for distance
Just stay where you are
Reiteration of the directive to stay in place
