Muffled
Navigating the Maze of Relationships: Ten Foot Pole's 'Muffled' Message
Lyrics
I thought we solved this problem long ago
I thought we resolved this issue in the past.
I thought we grew up but we still need to grow
I believed we had matured, but there's still room for personal growth.
Somehow it rained on our common ground
Conflicts have arisen on the common ground we once shared.
Now when we dig in we slip around
Efforts to address the problem now feel unstable and unproductive.
I hear the sarcasm in your voice
I detect sarcasm in your tone of voice.
Think of all the times you made me want
Reflecting on the instances when you influenced my desires.
Without thinking without trying
Actions were taken without thought or effort.
I make that face the face you fucking hate
I exhibit an expression that you intensely dislike.
It's always been this way between you and me
The dynamic between us has consistently been this way.
Can we ever change is this how it has to be
Questioning the possibility of change and whether this is our perpetual state.
We try to patch things up but it's not the same
Attempts to mend our relationship prove insufficient; things are not as they were.
We try to show respect it's too late on the game
Efforts to show respect come too late in the course of our interaction.
Can you take me back to yesterday
Expressing a desire to revisit the past.
So I can say all the things I didn't say
A wish to articulate things left unsaid in the past.
Maybe times were tough and
Acknowledging challenging times in the past.
Maybe things were worse
Suggesting that perhaps things were even more difficult than remembered.
But I don't remember it this way
Despite challenges, current perceptions don't align with past experiences.
The times the wasted times
Recalling wasted moments and lost opportunities.
There are times when we seem so strong
There are instances when our connection appears strong.
Then we forget that we don't get along/
Forgetting that, ultimately, we are not compatible.
Some of these times are not in a bar
Some of these instances don't occur in a social setting.
I can't believe that we made it this far
Expressing surprise at the longevity of our relationship despite challenges.
Hmmm I can't belive that we made it this far
Expressing disbelief at how far the relationship has endured.
