Navigating Turbulence: Strung Out's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Well I don't want to make you angry
Expressing a desire not to upset you
Don't want to talk about it
Avoiding discussing a certain topic
When you call and I pretend I'm not around
Ignoring calls to avoid confrontation
And I don't make good company
Not being good company to be around
And one of us has got to leave
Recognizing the need for one person to leave the situation
'Cause this is getting boring by now
Feeling the current situation has become tedious
Now I don't know
Uncertain about what to say or do
What I'm supposed to say
Desire to escape the situation
When I really want to do is try to run away
Wanting to physically leave the place
Gotta get away
Feeling the need to escape a conflict that seems impossible to resolve
From this showdown I know I'll never win with you
Admitting to a confrontation that won't lead to victory
I don't want to feed the fire
Not wanting to add fuel to an argument
And I don't to be the liar
Avoiding being dishonest despite the circumstances
But something's gotta give before I'm gone
Feeling the need for a resolution before leaving
Now I'm wrong if I don't say enough
Feeling wrong irrespective of the amount spoken
And I'm wrong if I give in too much
Feeling wrong whether giving in or not
So I'll take a bow and get out while I can
Choosing to leave while having the chance
Now I don't know
Uncertain about the right words or actions
What I'm supposed to say
Desiring an escape from the situation
When I really want to do is try to run away
Wanting to physically distance oneself from the conflict
Gotta get away
Feeling the need to escape an unwinnable confrontation
From this showdown I know I'll never win with you
Recognizing the futility of winning in the situation
Now here I go again
Repeating a familiar pattern of getting into trouble
Just like before I'm going down
Anticipating a downfall similar to previous experiences
I try to practice what I want to say
Attempting to prepare for the conversation but expecting dismissal
But you won't listen anyway
Anticipating not being heard despite attempting to communicate
Like every time before
Expecting a repetition of the past, leading to someone leaving
One of us is out that door
Someone leaving the situation as a common outcome
Don't bother waiting for me
Not expecting someone to wait as departure is imminent
Cause I'll be on my way
Expressing the intent to leave while thinking of the other person
Thinking of you
