Used to Think I Loved You
Unraveling Love's Illusion: A Journey Through Neon Lit Rooms
Lyrics
Used to think I loved you
Once believed I was in love with you
Used to think I loved you
Reiteration of the past belief in loving you
I dreamed you into life
Imagined and wished for your existence
Attraction and distrust
Feelings of attraction mixed with distrust
Set in a lonely place
Emotional state set in a desolate and isolated space
Just for the two of us
A space reserved for the two of us
Used to think I loved you
Previously thought I felt love for you
Used to think I loved you
Reiteration of past thoughts of love
This room is neon lit
The current setting is brightly lit with a sense of escape
A fugitive's repose
A moment of rest for someone on the run
Who says that artifice
Suggests that artificiality can also possess beauty
Can't be beautiful?
Acknowledging the beauty in the artificial
Used to think I loved you
Thought I loved you in the past
Used to think I loved you
Reiteration of past feelings of love
Distance, like a drug
Distance is likened to a potent substance
Craving for a gaze
Desire for a meaningful look or attention
Too far away
Feeling distant, too far away
Used to think I loved you
Once believed I loved you
Used to think I loved you
Reiteration of past belief in love
There was nothing above you
Emphasizing the lack of anything superior to you
There's nothing to hold onto there
Nothing substantial to grasp onto in that relationship
And I think I'm falling
Suggests the feeling of falling, losing control
I'm not waving, I'm drowning
Contrast between appearing okay and actually struggling
All the voices surrounding
Surrounded by voices advising to let go
They tell me to let go
Pressure to release the attachment
Used to think I loved you
Once believed in love with you
Used to think I loved you...
Final reiteration of past belief in love
