Lyrics
Stand alone
Expressing the resolve to remain independent or isolated.
Dear mister complication
Addressing someone seen as complicated or complex.
How could it come to this
Questioning how a situation escalated to its current state.
You never wanted in
Implying exclusion or a lack of desire to be part of something.
A cold breath of what it takes
Describing the harsh reality or essence of what's required.
I'll stand alone
Reiterating the determination to remain solitary.
Dear mister separation
Addressing someone associated with division or disconnection.
You let it come to this
Blaming this person for the current state of affairs.
I tried to find a way out
Attempting to find a solution or exit strategy.
So I could be let in
Desiring acceptance or inclusion.
So I could show them all
Expressing a desire to prove oneself to others.
Thick lines of separation
Highlighting the distinct boundaries or barriers between entities.
Dark pens to fill them in
Using negativity to delineate those boundaries.
So many borders
Pointing out numerous divisions or separations.
A cold breath of what it takes
Reiterating the harsh reality or essence of what's required, similar to line 6.
Twenty years of killing time
Highlighting a long period of wasted time.
You never knew was killing me
Explaining how this wasted time affected the speaker negatively.
A response would aid to separate
Suggesting that a response would help to create distance.
Escape the page that holds me here
Desiring to break free from a situation that confines the speaker.
It's like the more that I whisper
Expressing frustration that the quieter the speaker is, the less they're acknowledged.
The less I am heard
Highlighting a lack of attention despite increased efforts.
And the louder I scream
Indicating being ignored despite raising one's voice.
The more I'm ignored
Emphasizing the paradoxical nature of being ignored despite increased volume.
So I could show you
Expressing the desire to prove something to the addressed person.
I'll stand alone, I'll show them all
Reaffirming the determination to stand alone and prove oneself.
So I could stander here
Intending to endure or exist in a particular place.
Dear mister complication
Addressing someone seen as complicated or complex (repeated).
You let it come to this
Blaming this person for the current state of affairs (repeated).
Wrote this letter so I
Writing a letter to create a division or separation between the addressed parties.
Divide the two of us
Expressing the intent to create a division or rift between the speaker and the addressed person.
So I could stand alone
Reiterating the determination to stand alone.
