Obligations
Unraveling Life's Apathy: Obligations by Serial Killer Dinner Party
Lyrics
Well I see you and you see me
Observing mutual awareness between the speaker and someone else.
And that's all there is to say about that
Indicating that the situation is straightforward and requires no further discussion.
Before to long and she starts hitting me
Describing a point in time when the other person becomes physically aggressive, likely in the context of a relationship.
About obligations and shit like that
Addressing discussions or conflicts related to responsibilities and similar matters.
She's gotta know
Emphasizing the need for the other person to understand something.
That with the likes of me
Highlighting that in the speaker's company, appearances can be deceiving.
That nothing ever is quite what it seems
Reiterating that things are not always as they appear in the speaker's world.
And she's gotta know
Stating that the speaker's life is characterized by a lack of interest or enthusiasm.
My life's full of apathy
Expressing a history of indifference and disinterest in the speaker's life.
To many times before and time just can't ignore
Referring to past instances where time has not paid attention to the speaker.
Well she's gotta know
Reiterating the need for the other person to understand a particular aspect.
She's always asking for my attention
Describing a recurring demand for the speaker's attention from the other person.
But I've never been good at shit like that
Acknowledging the speaker's inadequacy in dealing with such demands.
Now and again she asks for affection
Highlighting periodic requests from the other person for emotional closeness.
Again and again!
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of these requests for affection.
But I've never been good at shit like that yeah
Reaffirming the speaker's lack of proficiency in responding to such emotional needs.
She's gotta know that with the likes of me
Recalling that in the speaker's presence, things are not always what they appear to be.
That nothing ever is quite what it seems
Reiterating the theme of deceptive appearances in the speaker's life.
And she's gotta know
Stating again that the speaker's life is marked by apathy.
My life's full of apathy
Reinforcing the idea that time has consistently overlooked the speaker.
Too many times before and time just can't ignore
Repeating the notion that the speaker's life is characterized by indifference.
Yeah she's gotta know
Affirming the other person's need to understand a significant aspect of the speaker's life.
Oh she's gotta know my life's full of apathy
Reiterating that the speaker's life is saturated with apathy.
To many times before and time just can't ignore
Emphasizing once more that time has consistently ignored the speaker.
Oh she's gotta know
Stressing the importance for the other person to recognize the speaker's apathetic existence.
