Lyrics
So you won't tell me, where you've been up to now
Asking where you've been, seeking information about your past
I don't know, they've seen you come and go (Oh)
Uncertain about your actions, noticed your presence but unsure about your intentions
You're well on your way but never leaving the chair
You're making progress but stuck in a routine, not physically moving
Playing scenes on TV screens
Engaging in imaginary activities on TV screens
Watching widely to glimpse the full view
Observing broadly to understand the full picture
While the hours have their hands all over you
Time has control over you, affecting your life
You say that you see me, well I see you too
Mutual awareness, acknowledging each other's presence
I look behind, what do you find, all but an empty room
Looking back, finding an empty room, possibly symbolizing emptiness or loneliness
Scratching the surface and you can't get away
Superficial exploration, unable to escape
You've traveled far and so far you have nothing to say
Traveled extensively but lacking meaningful experiences or stories
Scratching the surface
Reiterating the idea of superficial exploration
You better come up for air
Encouraging to break free from the surface, seek something deeper
A new experience to get you there
Exploring new experiences for personal growth
Scratching the surface
Continuing the theme of superficial exploration
You better come up for air
Emphasizing the need to rise above the surface
Strapped to the media, a machine to fear
Fearful connection to media, possibly indicating its influence or control
You're onto something then it slips right away
Grasping an idea, but losing it quickly
It's in your hand, follow through right in front of you
Having an opportunity but not following through
You say that you hear me, well I hear you too
Mutual understanding, secrets revealed outside the confined space of TV
My secret is no secret, outside of the tube
No hidden secrets, transparency outside the media influence
So you won't tell me, what you've done up to now
Repeating the inquiry about past actions
You're watching me, I'm watching you decide (Oh)
Reciprocal observation, decisions pending
Scratching the surface, you can't get away
Superficial exploration, unable to break free
You tried so hard, and so far you have nothing to say
Effort to explore, but still lacking meaningful experiences
Scratching the surface
Reiteration of the need to break free from the surface
You better come up for air
Encouraging to seek a new experience for personal growth
A new experience to get you there
Continuing the theme of exploring new experiences
Scratching the surface
Emphasizing the need to rise above the surface
You better come up for air
Highlighting the importance of breaking free
Strapped to the media, a machine to fear
Fearful connection to media, a repeated warning
Scratching the surface
Repeating the call to break free from the surface
You better come up for air
Encouraging to seek new experiences for personal growth
A new experience to get you there
Continuing the theme of exploring new experiences
Scratching the surface
Emphasizing the need to rise above the surface
You better come up for air
Highlighting the importance of breaking free
Strapped to the media, a machine to fear
Fearful connection to media, a repeated cautionary note
Scratching the surface
Reiterating the idea of superficial exploration
Scratching the surface
Repeating the concept of scratching the surface
Scratching the surface
Emphasizing the theme of superficial exploration
