Asking for the World
Seeking Truth in Relationships: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Strung Out's 'Asking for the World'
Lyrics
I'm not asking for that much
I have modest expectations; I'm not demanding a lot.
I only want the truth
I desire only honesty and the genuine truth.
When you tell me how you feel
Express your true emotions when you communicate with me.
I'm not gonna play the games
I won't engage in manipulative or hurtful mind games.
That make you feel like shit
Avoid actions that lead to feeling miserable or worthless.
I'm not asking for the world
My expectations are reasonable; I'm not asking for everything.
how many times must we tell each other lies
Questioning the frequency of dishonesty and separation in our relationship.
And separate our lives
Reflecting on the consequences of lies that lead to a divide in our lives.
I wonder what went wrong
Pondering what went wrong in our relationship.
I'm not askin' for that much
I'm not asking for much, just straightforward and open communication.
Just open honesty
Requesting honesty without hidden agendas or deception.
I'm not askin' for the world
I'm not expecting perfection, just genuine and sincere interactions.
when were young it's only fun it's just the chances that you take
Highlighting the carefree nature of youth contrasted with risky choices.
Now we're grown up and we're fucked up and we make the same mistakes
Acknowledging the mistakes made as adults, repeating patterns.
We keep repeating the same beating like it's not a choice to make
Continuing negative behaviors as if there's no alternative.
And then we're lying and denying what we won't refuse to change
Engaging in falsehoods and rejecting the need for change.
I feel like I've been through so much shit
Expressing a sense of enduring difficulties and challenges.
So many dysfunctional relationships
Referring to numerous troubled relationships experienced.
That I don't know
Feeling emotionally confused due to past experiences.
What to feel anymore
Expressing uncertainty about emotions and reactions.
I'm not asking for that much
Reiterating the desire for straightforwardness in interactions.
Just be real with me
Simply asking for authenticity and sincerity in communication.
I'm not asking for the world
Reaffirming that the request is not an unreasonable one.
