Indifference
Echoes of Indifference: A Soul's Battle with Unrequited Passion
Lyrics
We go bump in the night
We engage in activities during the night.
I'm so blinded by your presence for a moment I'm defenseless to your charm.
I am temporarily defenseless and captivated by your presence, blinded to your charm.
Like a storm, shaking my foundations to the core.
Your impact is like a storm, shaking the foundations of my being to the core.
Even just for a night, I could lay with you & we'll pretend we're innocent looking up at the stars. Free to lay down our guard.
Even if just for a night, we can pretend innocence, lying together and gazing at the stars, free from our usual defenses.
I use drugs & women just to numb my feelings for you.
I resort to using drugs and women to numb my feelings for you.
Well I could bury these feelings just as deep as your indifference cuts me through, why do I let you.
I can bury my emotions as deep as your indifference cuts through me, questioning why I allow it.
Get away with it all.
Repetition emphasizes the theme of allowing the person to get away with certain actions.
Get away with it all.
-Get away with it all.
-Out of sight, out of mind. But your presence still remains & I invite it like a flower to the sun.
Although out of sight and out of mind, your presence lingers, drawing me like a flower to the sun, despite the burning consequences.
Yet I burn, baby you know I burn.
I burn metaphorically because of the relationship, expressing the pain caused.
I use drugs & women just to numb my feelings for you.
Reiteration of using substances to numb emotions related to the person.
Well I could bury these feelings just as deep as your indifference cuts me through, why do I let you.
Despite the pain, I can bury my feelings as deeply as your indifference penetrates me, questioning my tolerance.
Get away with it all.
Repetition emphasizes the theme of allowing the person to get away with certain actions.
Get away with it all.
-Get away with it all.
-And I'll be ok, there's no reason that I shouldn't let it fade away.
Expressing a desire to let go and move on despite difficulties.
But I keep on looking for you in the crowd. Even now.
Continuing to search for the person in a crowd, indicating difficulty in moving on.
And was it a mistake, just another chapter that we could both erase, maybe now and then I'll see you around. But for now.
Reflecting on whether the relationship was a mistake and the possibility of erasing it, but acknowledging the potential of encountering the person again.
I use drugs & women just to numb my feelings for you.
Reiterating the use of substances to cope with emotions related to the person.
Well I could bury these feelings just as deep as your indifference cuts me through, why do I let you.
Despite the pain, I can bury my feelings as deeply as your indifference penetrates me, questioning my tolerance.
Get away with it all.
Repetition emphasizes the theme of allowing the person to get away with certain actions.
Get away with it all.
-Get away with it all.
