Lizard Brain
Embracing Change: A Journey of Lost Love and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
You could tell it to my lizard brain
Communication reaching the instinctual or primal part of the brain
Tell me to my second face
Imply speaking honestly or directly, without pretense
Tell me with the blink of an eye
Expressing something non-verbally or subtly
You could write it in a letter babe
Suggesting a written form of communication to convey a message
Put it in the newspaper
Referencing public announcement or widespread sharing
Maybe I would read it then
Speculating about potential acknowledgment under different circumstances
But it wouldn't make a difference now
Implying insignificance or irrelevance of communication
Cause I couldn't live without her now
Expressing dependence on a particular person now
You might know me in a different way
Indicating varied understanding or perception of the speaker
Know just who I used to be
Knowing the past persona of the speaker
I won't be that way again
Refusing to revert to the past behavior or state
You could want me from a distance
Suggesting a distant form of desire or affection
But I won't go that way again
Refusing to follow a previously taken path
I will never be your friend
Rejecting the possibility of friendship
You can think about the better days
Reflecting on better times or memories
Think about the wasted time
Contemplating time spent in a non-productive or regretful manner
You're not going back again
Decisively stating no return to a prior situation
If I could see the future
Expressing uncertainty about foreseeing the future
Then I would never know you
Speculating on how not knowing someone would alter the future
Cause I won't go against the way
Refusing to act against personal beliefs or principles
And it wouldn't make a difference now
Reiterating the insignificance of communication
Cause I couldn't live without her now
Reiterating dependence on a particular person now
And all I wanted was to find
Expressing a desire for understanding or connection
Someone to see from me the inside
Seeking someone who sees beyond surface appearances
And it wouldn't make a difference now
Reiterating insignificance of past communication
Cause I won't live without her now
Reiterating dependence on a particular person now
