Unraveling Love's Secrets: Stelth Ulvang's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
You seem to wonder why
You express curiosity about why we never engage in romantic gestures.
We never kiss
There's a lack of physical intimacy, and it leaves me desiring.
I'm bound to hunger by
I feel constrained by your unpredictable behavior.
You're unruly flip
Your capricious actions create a challenge for me.
And though I wonder too
I also ponder why another person failed to recognize something.
How he never saw
Reflecting on someone who remained unaware of certain truths.
Somehow he never knew
This person never comprehended the objective we pursued.
The thing we sought
The goal or desire we were after.
Like a common tear
Comparing our struggles to a common teardrop.
Like a comet tail
Similar to the tail of a comet, implying a transient nature.
Oh the things we fear
The fears we harbor, waiting for them to manifest.
For them to hit the ground
The consequences we dread reaching a point of realization.
And I can't keep all the thoughts that wash my way ahead of me
Difficulty in managing the myriad thoughts that come my way.
Just to fear an enemy, oh to fear itself
Fearing an external adversary or the fear itself.
And even a hair that grows and grazes on each side of me
A metaphorical reference to negativity growing within.
It eats the love in me, that virus, jealousy
Jealousy consuming the love within, likened to a virus.
We're the animals
Describing humanity as animals formed from dust.
From lines of dust
Acknowledging our humble origins.
And when it settles
Even when things settle, remnants of the past linger.
It's still with us
Signifying the enduring impact of experiences.
A claw for something
The pursuit of something significant, possibly elusive.
We've seen unseen
Observing things that go unnoticed.
Make a strong assumption
Forming a strong assumption based on limited information.
It makes the best of me
This assumption becomes a source of personal struggle.
And false security
A false sense of safety that proves unreliable.
Addicted empathy
An addiction to empathy, potentially detrimental.
Rots inside of me
The decay of empathetic feelings within.
While I pretend to sleep
Pretending to be asleep while inner conflicts persist.
And I don't bring a lot to a table made of mud and paper shavings
Humility and modesty in the face of limited resources.
I kept my college savings, someday I'll run stupidly away
Prioritizing education and preparation for an uncertain future.
And how you gonna trust a man who's only gonna leave you for the window
The challenge of trusting someone who might leave unexpectedly.
Sad soggy fellow, down together down alone
A melancholic reflection on shared struggles, facing loneliness together.
