Something to Lose
Unveiling Emotional Deception: "Something to Lose" by The Enemies
Lyrics
Look inside those eyes, not much going on
Observing someone's eyes and noting a lack of emotional depth or expression.
It's not hard to disguise an empty space with dark makeup
It's easy to conceal emotional emptiness with a facade, represented by dark makeup.
Look at those laugh lines, so inquisitive
Noting the presence of laugh lines, suggesting curiosity or experience.
Makes you wonder why she laughs when she ain't getting it
Questioning why the person laughs despite not experiencing joy or fulfillment.
Allow myself to intervene for just a moment please
Expressing a desire to intervene momentarily.
There's a point I'd like to make about conspiracies
Addressing a point about conspiracies, possibly related to the person's hidden truths.
First impressions are easy to make
Highlighting the ease of forming initial impressions.
But true intentions are much harder to fake
Emphasizing the difficulty of faking true intentions.
And you've got something to lose
Stating that the person has something valuable to lose.
They call it nothing
Contrasting the perceived value with the term "nothing."
Look inside her past, oh so frail and cold
Examining the fragility and coldness of the person's past.
A tattered tale that you just know she ain't the victim of
Suggesting skepticism about the person being a genuine victim in their troubled past.
Look at all those scars, oh you poor thing
Noting physical scars and expressing doubt about the severity of the person's experiences.
Was it even worse when no one seemed to notice these
Questioning if the situation was truly worse when unnoticed by others.
Allow myself to intervene for just a moment please
Reiterating the desire to intervene for a brief moment.
There's a point I'd like to make about conspiracies
Returning to the point about conspiracies, implying hidden truths.
First impressions are easy to make
Reemphasizing the ease of forming first impressions.
But true intentions are much harder to fake
Stressing the difficulty of faking genuine intentions.
And you've got something to lose

Feel that lack inside

Because this lying and this cheating is no way to keep believing

You like who you've become and you like who you're deceiving

Behind the porcelain mask there's a scared little girl
