Closer
Unraveling the Depths: Sick of It All's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Sometimes I don't want to know,
Sometimes, I prefer not to have knowledge or awareness.
I don't want to know myself
I avoid self-reflection and understanding of my own identity.
Sometimes I don't want to love
There are times when I choose not to experience love.
Cause I don't feel it for myself
This may be because I don't feel deserving of love.
How can I improve on something I don't know,
Improving something requires understanding, and if I lack that, it's a challenge.
So come closer
An invitation to come closer, possibly for deeper connection.
Come closer, come closer, come closer
Repetition emphasizes the desire for closeness, but with a twist.
So I can drive you away
The paradoxical intention to push away, creating emotional conflict.
I'll manipulate the stupid game
Expressing a willingness to manipulate the challenges of life.
With my own confusion
Using confusion as a tool in navigating life's complexities.
And I'll be bending all the fuckin' rules
Breaking established norms and rules due to personal uncertainties.
With my own self doubt
Challenging oneself with internal skepticism and lack of confidence.
And if I seem uncomfortable
Admitting discomfort, perhaps due to internal struggles.
Do I seem uncomfortable
Questioning if the discomfort is noticeable to others.
It's cause I am
Confirming the presence of discomfort, possibly internal conflict.
My own mind
Highlighting the challenges posed by one's own thoughts.
My peace is hard to find
Inner peace is elusive and hard to find within oneself.
Secrecy in my mind
Suggesting secrecy or complexity within the speaker's mind.
Mysteries countless as the world outside
Comparing the mysteries within the mind to the vastness of the external world.
So come closer
Reiteration of the invitation to come closer, despite internal struggles.
Drive you away
A paradoxical statement, reinforcing the desire to distance others emotionally.
