Silent Treatment
Navigating Emotional Distance: The Unspoken Words
Lyrics
I’ll take the silent treatment
I am willing to endure the silent treatment
Off your hands uneven
From you, whose emotions are imbalanced
I’ll take the easy cynicism
I will accept the simplistic cynicism
Less talking more reason
Advocating for less talking and more rationality
I, over you
Expressing overcoming emotions related to you
I, over you
Reiterating the emotional recovery process
I, that’s all you left for me
All that remains from our relationship is emotional distance
I’ll wait up watching time
Waiting patiently as time passes
You tumble home
Observing your return home in a disoriented manner
Safe inside
Feeling secure once you are inside
Twisted now, but at the time
Reflecting on a past moment that now seems distorted
No fears, a treasured prize
No fears, considering it a valuable experience
I, over you
Continuing the process of emotional recovery
I, over you
Emphasizing the progress made in moving on
I, that’s all you left for me
Only emotional detachment remains from the past
I’ll take the silent treatment off your hands unbeaten
Willing to relieve you of the burden of the silent treatment, undefeated
I’ll take the easy sequence
Accepting a simple and predictable pattern of behavior
Less people, more freedom
Advocating for fewer people and more personal freedom
The blood cheat
Referring to a deceitful or dishonest act involving blood
Don’t give myself away
Warning against revealing one's true self
Don’t give myself away
Reiterating the caution to keep one's identity hidden
The dull seed
Referring to a mundane or unremarkable beginning
Don’t give myself away
Emphasizing the importance of concealing oneself
And long for the rest of this curse
Desiring an end to the enduring curse of emotional turmoil
I, over you
Repeating the theme of emotional recovery
I, over you
Reiterating the overcoming of emotions related to you
I, that’s all you left for me
Remaining emotionally distant as the sole outcome
I’ll take a quiet leave it
Willing to accept a quiet departure
But I’m hot-wired, quick-feelinged
Despite being naturally passionate and impulsive
So I’ll take the silent treatment
Choosing to endure the silent treatment
I’ll take the silent treatment
Reiterating the willingness to endure silence
