Flickering
Flickering Minds: A Melodic Journey Through Desire and Ambiguity
Lyrics
Too far at the back of my mind
Feeling distant or buried in my thoughts
There's a flickering bulb
There's a flickering source of light or hope
It's enough to keep me up sometimes
That source sometimes prevents me from sleeping
I can't decide if I'm strung out
I'm uncertain if I'm stressed or experiencing intense joy
Or I'm in heaven
Uncertainty between feeling overwhelmed and blissful
I met a young girl
I encountered a girl
Who'd be so much more interesting
She would be more captivating if not for her young age
If she wasn't a young girl
Expressing the conflict due to her age
Oh, if she wasn't a young girl
Reiterating the conflict about her age
I don't want that life
I do not desire that particular lifestyle
I don't want that life
Emphasizing the rejection of that lifestyle
It's not that
Clarifying that the issue is not about lacking interest in someone
You're not interesting
Assuring that the person is indeed interesting
I just want to feel
I just want to feel deeply submerged emotionally
Like I'm underwater
Desiring to feel emotionally submerged like being underwater
While laying on his pillowcase
Expressing intense emotions while being close to a significant other
My blood could never run hotter
Feeling extremely passionate and excited
A heart churning along like a train
Describing a heart beating strongly and persistently like a train
And I just wanna feel
Expressing a desire to feel emotionally connected
It isn't fair
Feeling a sense of unfairness or imbalance
I just wanna find
Wishing to find a specific boy
That one boy
Desiring a connection with a particular boy
