WALLS
Breaking Through Walls: Unraveling the Hidden Emotions in Ryan Woods' Song
Lyrics
I know you better than you think
I have a deep understanding of you beyond your self-perception
Put up your walls and run away from me
You're building emotional barriers and distancing yourself from me
And don’t tell me that I’m dreaming
Don't deny the reality of my feelings or dismiss them as mere dreams
Cause I’m waking up
I'm becoming aware and conscious, possibly of issues or problems
I don’t know why I’m not breathing
I'm unsure why I feel breathless or suffocated
I shouldn’t have a reason to hate you
Despite not wanting to, I find myself having reasons to dislike you
But you’re making it easy to try
Your actions are making it tempting for me to harbor resentment
And maybe if I wasn’t so afraid to face you
Fear is preventing me from confronting and resolving issues with you
I’d be able to make it right
If I could overcome my fear, I might be able to make things right
And don’t you tell me it’s not your fault
Don't deny responsibility; don't claim innocence in the situation
Cause you don’t even eat your vegetables
Using a trivial example (not eating vegetables) to highlight negligence
And go back inside your four walls
Retreating into a confined, safe space, avoiding challenges or discomfort
Where you know you’re nice and comfortable
Choosing the familiar and comfortable over potential growth
Such a shame
Expressing disappointment or disapproval
You can’t see past your nose
You're unable to see beyond your immediate concerns or issues
What’s your problem
Asking about the root cause of your problems or behavior
I really wonder though
Expressing curiosity about the underlying issues or motivations
And you didn’t stick around for my birthday
Not being present for a significant event, possibly indicating neglect
So tell me how the hell am i supposed to be okay
Questioning how I can cope or be okay without your support
Without you around
Expressing the emotional impact of your absence
I shouldn’t have a reason to hate you
Similar to line 7, finding reasons to dislike you despite not wanting to
But you’re making it easy to try
Your actions continue to make it tempting for me to harbor resentment
And maybe if I wasn’t so afraid to face you
Fear is still a barrier to facing and resolving issues with you
I’d be able to make it right
If I could overcome my fear, I might be able to make things right (repeated)
And don’t you tell me it’s not your fault
Reiterating the need to accept responsibility for the situation
Cause you don’t even eat your vegetables
Using a trivial example (not eating vegetables) to highlight negligence (repeated)
And go back inside your four walls
Retreating into a confined, safe space, avoiding challenges or discomfort (repeated)
Where you know you’re nice and comfortable
Choosing the familiar and comfortable over potential growth (repeated)
