What keeps you up
Embracing Liberation: Unveiling the Depths of 'What Keeps You Up' by TAPE HOUSE
Lyrics
The nights growing colder
The nights are getting colder, symbolizing a change or a fading of warmth.
And I should have told ya
Regret over not expressing something earlier.
Nothing left here for me and you
Recognizing there's nothing left in the relationship for both parties.
There's freedom, there's freedom in that too
Acknowledging that finding freedom in letting go is important.
Yeah yeah I don't question all the time I spent with you
Acceptance of not questioning the time spent together.
I know you like to stay on my mind, my mind
Admitting the persistence of thoughts about the person.
There's things I did that you'll never know
Actions or experiences kept secret from the partner.
I seem to think the dark comes to light, to light
Belief that hidden things eventually come to light.
It's better if you just let us grow
Suggesting that allowing space for personal growth is beneficial.
A demon had a grip on my life, my life
Admitting to being controlled by a negative force but not attributing it to the partner.
I didn't think that demon was you
Realization that the negative force isn't the person addressed.
You devil, let a old feeling settle
Describing the resurgence of an old feeling caused by the person.
I got time on my hands
Having ample time available without anything to offer.
I got nothing for you
Expressing having nothing to give or contribute.
The nights growing colder
Reiterating the growing emotional distance, marked by colder nights.
And I should have told ya
A repetition emphasizing the regret of not communicating earlier.
Nothing left here for me and you
Reinforcing the idea of an absence of connection in the relationship.
There's freedom, there's freedom in that too
Reiterating the idea that finding freedom in separation is a positive aspect.
And I've stopped seeking closure
No longer actively seeking closure from the past.
As I'm growing older
Accepting the passing of time and gaining wisdom from experiences.
See the bigger picture is true
Acknowledging the truth in seeing the broader perspective.
There's freedom, there's freedom that too
Reiterating the idea that finding freedom in separation is a positive aspect.
Space in my life for you, my life for you
Keeping space or room in life for the person, but now reconsidering.
But now, but now
A transitional statement, leading to a change in perspective.
A victim since the day you were born, poor you
Sympathizing with the person's struggles since birth.
I never had to carry your heart
Claiming not to have carried the burden of the person's heart or emotions.
You devil, let a old feeling settle
Recurring feeling attributed to the person's actions.
I got time on my hands, I've got nothing for you
Having time but nothing to offer or give to the person.
The nights growing colder
Reiteration of the emotional distance experienced.
And I should have told ya
Repeated regret over not expressing earlier.
Nothing left here for me and you
Emphasizing the absence of connection in the relationship.
There's freedom, there's freedom in that too
Stressing the positive aspect of finding freedom in separation.
And I've stopped seeking closure
No longer actively seeking closure from the past.
As I'm growing older
Acceptance of growing older and gaining perspective.
See the bigger picture is true
Reiterating the importance of seeing the bigger picture.
There's freedom, freedom in that too
Reinforcing the idea that finding freedom in separation is a positive aspect.
There's freedom, freedom at the peak of it all
Emphasizing freedom as a pinnacle or high point in the situation.
Now I chase for that release I don't stall
Pursuing release without hesitation or delay.
I don't need a reason to stay
Expressing a lack of necessity to justify staying.
I never loved you anyway
An outright statement of not having loved the person.
Anyway
Reiteration of the lack of love or affection.
Loved you anyway
Repeating the absence of love or affection.
Anyway
Continued emphasis on the absence of love or affection.
Loved you anyway
-Ohhh ah
Ending with a vocalization expressing emotions.
