Distant Crush
Yearning Echoes: Unraveling the Emotional Odyssey in Teenage Priest's 'Distant Crush'
Lyrics
I obsess for a moment
I experience intense preoccupation for a brief period
Twenty second glance
A quick look that lasts twenty seconds
What I wouldn't give to get a second back
I desire to retrieve a moment I lost and would do anything for it
Cargos full of emotion
My emotions are overwhelming and weigh heavily like cargo
Pockets with the straps
Pockets filled with the tension or stress of the situation
I know this will end up on the internet
I anticipate this experience will be shared on the internet
Cause you're just a distant crush
The person is only a distant crush, not physically close
That I follow way too much
I follow this crush excessively
I wish that I could touch
I desire physical contact but can't have it
But you're just a Distant Crush
Reiterating the theme that the crush is distant
Maybe it's an illusion
Considering the possibility that the crush might be an illusion
Or solipsism man
Contemplating solipsism, a philosophical idea that only oneself exists
Give me one more chance so I can understand
Pleading for another chance to understand the situation
And I can keep up with friends now
Being able to socialize and maintain connections with friends
Cause I'm another man
A transformation into a different person
What could ever let me go into a tail spin
Wondering what could cause a sudden emotional downturn
Cause you're just a distant crush
Reiteration of the crush being distant
That I follow way too much
Continuing the theme of excessive following
I wish that I could touch
Expressing the desire for physical closeness
But you're just a distant crush
Emphasizing again that the crush is distant
You're just a distant crush
Repetition for emphasis - the crush remains distant
You're just a distant crush
Repeating the idea that the crush is distant
You're just a distant crush
Emphasizing once more that the crush is distant
