Empathy
Unveiling Shadows: A Tale of Manipulation and Lost Empathy
Lyrics
Returning from the shade
Returning from a hidden or secretive place
Your manipulating brain
Referring to the deceptive nature of the person
My friends think you’re okay
Acknowledging that the speaker's friends have a positive opinion of the person
But i know you’re insane
Expressing the speaker's belief that the person is mentally unstable
Watch the sun set over
Observing a sunset in the person's metaphorical realm or life
Your heavens, babe
Referring to the person's perceived elevated status or ideals
Your silence says it all
Noting that the person's silence conveys a message
You know it’s all your fault
Attributing blame to the person for a situation
I know you think you’ve won
Challenging the person's perception of victory
But baby we’re not done
Asserting that the conflict is not resolved
I want you to go
Expressing a desire for the person to leave
Back into your hole
Encouraging the person to retreat to their negative space
Your sister calls me late
Noting communication from a relative of the person
Screaming out your name
Describing emotional distress from the person's actions
You went down with your plane
Referring to a downfall or failure associated with the person
Lie and say it’s okay
Encouraging the person to lie about their well-being
Never will I get
Expressing a lack of opportunities for remorse or guilt
A chance for new regrets
Denying the chance for new regrets in the future
I wish that you could see
Desiring understanding or recognition of the speaker's emotions
My lack of empathy
Acknowledging a deficiency in the ability to empathize
