Rip Off
Unveiling Self-Realization Through Painful Promises
Lyrics
I can name the people that know they don't know themselves
I can identify those who are aware of their lack of self-understanding.
Without talking to nobody
They manage this without engaging in conversations with anyone.
I can count the people that know they want to fix themselves
I can enumerate those who acknowledge their need for self-improvement.
Without taking my hands out of my pockets
This awareness exists without the need to actively work on themselves.
I make these promises but all my promises hurt
Despite making promises, my commitments end up causing harm.
It's like they never get a liftoff
These promises fail to take off or materialize successfully.
So if I'm being honest with you and it seems like I'm being cruel
If I am brutally honest with you, it may come across as cruelty.
At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off
Despite the honesty, at least you didn't experience a deception or scam.
And you know how I feel
I understand your emotions, and you are aware of my feelings.
I've got faith in you
I have confidence and trust in you.
But it's a little too late for goodbyes
However, it's too late to say goodbye or end things amicably.
Good morning, open your eyes
A greeting, encouraging you to wake up and face the day.
I can see the tears so long before they know your face
I can perceive the onset of tears well before they become visible on your face.
I can almost draw the lines
I can almost predict and outline the emotional challenges you face.
But when you smile it spins me like a ferris wheel
Your smile has a profound effect on me, like a spinning ferris wheel.
Washed out to sea in your eyes
It leads me to be engulfed or overwhelmed in the vastness of your eyes.
I make these promises but all my promises hurt
Similar to earlier promises, my commitments cause pain.
It's like they never get a liftoff
These promises struggle to materialize or achieve success.
So if I'm being honest with you and it seems like I'm being cruel
If I'm transparent and straightforward, it might seem harsh.
At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off
Despite potential harshness, you didn't experience a deceptive act.
A rip off
A repetition emphasizing the notion of a rip off or deception.
And you know how I feel ...
Your understanding aligns with my emotions.
