Breaking Promises, Breathing Struggles: The Cautious Song Insights
Lyrics
I don't notice it all too much as you do
The speaker acknowledges a lack of awareness compared to someone else.
It's some solace when I hear I'm wrong in every way
Finding comfort in being told they are wrong in various aspects.
I made a promise so I could dodge it
The speaker made a promise to avoid facing a certain issue or emotion.
And clear some space inside my brain
Trying to create mental space by keeping a promise and avoiding a specific issue.
It's an accomplishment just to see another day
Surviving each day is considered an achievement.
But I'll break it off in pieces
Expressing a willingness to end a relationship or situation gradually.
I won't drive too far I mean it
Commitment to not going too far, possibly both physically and emotionally.
I'll take a break when I stop breathing
Expressing a desire for a break, even suggesting a break from life.
Berate myself then I'll repeat it
Self-criticism and a tendency to repeat negative thoughts.
Save it
Suggesting to save a discussion or argument for later.
Holding it in without breaking
Enduring difficulties without expressing emotions.
You're just so sick of my face and
Awareness of someone being tired or frustrated with the speaker's presence.
We've come way too far
Recognizing a significant journey or progress in the relationship.
Amazing
Commenting on the remarkable nature of something.
How it's so easy to take in
Highlighting the ease with which criticism is accepted.
All of my words are so vacant
Acknowledging the emptiness or lack of substance in the speaker's words.
Like the right side of your car
Drawing a metaphor between the speaker's words and the non-functional "right side" of a car.
But I'll break it off in pieces
Reiterating a commitment to end things gradually or in parts.
I won't drive too far I mean it
Emphasizing the intention to avoid going too far.
I'll take a break when I stop breathing
Expressing a willingness to take a break, even if extreme.
Berate myself then I'll repeat it
Continuation of self-critical thoughts and a tendency to repeat them.
Save it
Suggesting to save a discussion or argument for later, rephrased.
Holding it in without breaking
Enduring difficulties without expressing emotions, rephrased.
You're just so sick of my face and
Acknowledgment of weariness or frustration with the speaker's presence, rephrased.
We've come way too far
Recognition of significant progress in the relationship, rephrased.
It's amazing
Repeating the comment on the remarkable nature of something, rephrased.
How it's so easy to take in
Reiteration of how easily criticism is accepted, rephrased.
All of my words are so vacant
Reiteration of the emptiness or lack of substance in the speaker's words, rephrased.
Like the right side of your car
Reiteration of the metaphor between the speaker's words and the non-functional "right side" of a car, rephrased.
