hated mess.
Unveiling Shadows: Steven Neufeld's Hated Mess Revealed
Lyrics
I was told just to be myself
I was advised to be authentic.
Well here I am being no one else
I am staying true to myself, not pretending to be someone else.
The more you see, the more you despise
The more one observes, the stronger the feeling of dislike.
In the back of your mind
In the recesses of your thoughts.
Everyone wants transparency
Everyone desires openness.
But there are some sights you can't un-see
However, there are disturbing sights that cannot be unseen.
Let's leave it how it is this one damn time
Let's maintain the status quo this time.
'Cuz you won't like what you'll find
Because what you discover might be unpleasant.
Hated mess, you have no part of this
You are not involved in this disliked situation.
Supposed to be me and you
It was meant to be about us.
Now someone else knows our truth
Now, someone else is aware of our reality.
As soon as I show my other side
Once I reveal my hidden side.
You will have a change of plans
Your plans may change.
Maybe leave this town or whatever
Consider leaving this town or taking some other action.
Ignorance forevermore
Perpetual lack of knowledge.
There's a darkness behind my scene
There's a hidden darkness in my life.
A depressed P.O.S.O.B
A depressed and miserable person.
It's probably better to redact some things
It might be better to withhold some information.
To delegate my delicate lies
To assign my subtle falsehoods to someone else.
Hated mess, you have no part of this
You are not a part of this disliked situation.
Supposed to be me and you
It was meant to involve both of us.
Now someone else knows our truth
Now, someone else is privy to our reality.
As soon as I show my other side
Once I reveal my hidden side.
You will have a change of plans
Your plans may change.
Maybe leave this town or whatever
Consider leaving this town or taking some other action.
Ignorance forevermore
Perpetual lack of knowledge.
You won't be frightened by what you don't know
Ignorance is not frightening.
And I don't want to see you go
I don't want you to leave.
Please never find me at my worst
Kindly don't witness me at my lowest.
May your policy don't ask, and my policy don't tell align
Let's align our policies: you don't ask, and I won't tell.
Always told always be yourself
Consistently advised to be oneself.
Nevermind if you're someone else
It doesn't matter if you are someone else.
But a secret's always safe with me
But I can be trusted with secrets.
I'll keep it in the back of my mind
I'll keep them hidden in my thoughts.
Hated mess, you have no part of this
You are not a part of this disliked situation.
Supposed to be me and you
It was meant to involve both of us.
Now someone else knows our truth
Now, someone else is privy to our reality.
As soon as I show my other side
Once I reveal my hidden side.
You will have a change of plans
Your plans may change.
Maybe leave this town or whatever
Consider leaving this town or taking some other action.
Ignorance forevermore
Perpetual lack of knowledge.
