I Want To Watch You Leave
Echoes of Departure: The Silent Pain Within
Lyrics
I'll stay away
The speaker intends to keep their distance.
I've done OK today
The speaker feels they've managed reasonably well today.
The violence subsided
A decrease in aggressive or forceful behavior.
Trapped behind my eyelids
Feeling mentally confined or imprisoned by thoughts or memories.
Won't call it home
The place mentioned doesn't feel like home to the speaker.
'Cause I don't want to make this place my own
The speaker doesn’t want to emotionally invest in this place.
I'll stay away
The speaker reaffirms their decision to stay away.
Have you been OK today?
Inquiring about the well-being of someone else.
Deafened by my silence
The speaker's lack of communication creates a barrier.
In a form that bares your likeness
There's something about the speaker that reminds them of the person they're addressing.
I'll stay this way
The speaker decides to maintain their current state.
I get to watch you leave while I have to stay
The speaker feels forced to witness someone leaving while they have to remain in place.
I want to push you away
The speaker desires to create distance between themselves and the other person.
I want to watch you leave
Expressing a desire to witness the departure of the other person.
Don't try to keep me afloat
The speaker doesn't want the other person to try and support or help them.
Now you're stuck here with me
Now the other person is stuck in the same situation as the speaker.
The wrong direction for love
The relationship is heading in the wrong direction.
You can't end up this way
A warning that things cannot culminate in this manner.
I want to watch you leave
Reiteration of the desire to witness the departure of the other person.
As long as I stay
The speaker will continue to stay despite the desire to see the other person leave.
