Over And Over Again
Forgiveness in Repetition: The Turmoil of Unspoken Apologies
Lyrics
Five days ago
Reflecting on an event that occurred five days ago
I never thought
Initially, not anticipating emotional pain
You would hurt till I bleed
Experiencing emotional hurt to the point of bleeding
Thinking about the words
Contemplating the impact of spoken words
But now I'm too far away
Feeling distant from the past situation
Tell me why you put me through this
Questioning why the speaker is subjected to this pain
I know
Acknowledging exhaustion or frustration
That's you tired of it
Recognizing weariness with the current situation
Everything you say is a crime baby
Labeling everything said as a wrongdoing
I know
Affirming awareness of the situation
Don't you know?
Posing a rhetorical question about the listener's awareness
Is a sorry too much to ask
Inquiring if an apology is too much to request
It's the only thing I wanted
Expressing a desire for a simple apology
But I forgive you
Stating forgiveness despite the absence of an apology
Over and over again
Reiterating forgiveness repeatedly
Wondering If you think the same
Wondering if the other person shares similar thoughts
Probably you don't even have a brain
Suggesting the other person may lack understanding
Is it that difficult?
Questioning the perceived difficulty of the situation
Look at me now
Reflecting on the present state, perhaps with sadness
Wet tissues on the ground
Noting wet tissues on the ground, indicating distress
I'm disappointing myself
Expressing disappointment in oneself
Again again
Acknowledging a repetitive pattern of disappointment
I'm not a cry baby
Asserting emotional strength and resilience
Just stop denying blame me
Requesting the other person to stop denying and accept blame
I'm used to it
Expressing familiarity with being blamed
They don't worry don't worry
Encouraging not to worry, emphasizing a reason for everything
No worries no worries
Reiterating a lack of worry
Everything happen for a reason
Philosophizing about events happening for a reason
So no sorry cause you don't need
Rejecting the need for an apology, conflicting with personal feelings
But my mind says different
Internal conflict between rationalization and emotional need for an apology
Is a sorry too much to ask
Repeating the question about the appropriateness of an apology
It's the only thing I wanted
Reaffirming the desire for a simple apology
But I forgive you
Restating forgiveness despite the lack of an apology
Over and over again
Continuing to forgive repeatedly
Wondering If you think the same
Questioning if the other person reflects on the situation similarly
Probably you don't even have a brain
Suggesting a perceived lack of cognitive understanding
Is it that difficult?
Raising doubts about the complexity of the situation
I'm glad you're happy
Acknowledging the other person's happiness
But am I
Expressing personal uncertainty or unhappiness
I'm feeling damaged
Conveying a sense of emotional damage
Can you ask why do I need to say
Pondering the necessity of expressing oneself
That one word in your place
Questioning the importance of a specific word
It's just a word it's just a word it's just a word
Minimizing the significance of a word
I don't I don't I don't need it
Asserting independence and not needing the mentioned word
Or maybe
Introducing uncertainty about the speaker's actual need
I need
Expressing a potential need for the word
Maye
Repeating uncertainty about the need
NOOO
Rejecting the need emphatically
Is a sorry too much to ask
Repeating the question about the appropriateness of an apology
It's the only thing I wanted
Reiterating the desire for a simple apology
But I forgive you
Restating forgiveness despite the lack of an apology
Over and over again
Continuing to forgive repeatedly
Wondering If you think the same
Questioning if the other person reflects on the situation similarly
Probably you don't even have a brain
Suggesting a perceived lack of cognitive understanding
Is it that difficult?
Raising doubts about the complexity of the situation
