I See Things Differently
Perception's Clash: Understanding & Miscommunication
Lyrics
She often dances around in my head,
Reflecting on thoughts of a person who occupies the mind.
Her thoughts and dress lay on a bed,
Symbolic description of the person's thoughts and belongings.
Her painted eyes suffer blindly,
Describing the person's eyes and emotional suffering.
By my words tonight,
Acknowledging the impact of the speaker's words on the person.
And if I can't understand why,
Expressing confusion about the reasons for sleepless nights.
I'm sleeping at night,
Questioning the speaker's attempt to sleep amidst confusion.
Then why do I try?
Expressing doubt and frustration about the situation.
But to say how I feel is to learn,
Stating the importance of expressing true feelings.
And I won't lie to you next time,
Promising not to lie in the future.
No I won't lie to you next time
Reiterating the commitment to honesty.
'Cause I see things differently to you,
Highlighting a different perspective from the listener.
'Cause I see things differently to you
Repeating the assertion of a unique point of view.
Oh darling,
Addressing the person affectionately.
Come on, come on, come on,
Encouraging urgency in a serious situation.
This is getting serious,
Describing the seriousness of the current situation.
Oh darling,
Repeating the urgency and seriousness.
Come on, come on, come on,
Encouraging action due to the escalating situation.
Well this is getting so,
Expressing the severity of the situation.
Out of hand
Describing the situation as going out of control.
And I'm out of her sight,
Being out of the person's sight.
I've been accused,
Facing accusations but asserting personal correctness.
But I know I'm right,
Asserting confidence in one's correctness despite accusations.
When she talks,
Highlighting the significance of the person's words.
Her words start to communicate,
Describing communication through the person's words.
When the ships start to crash,
Metaphorically referring to challenges and conflicts.
And her eyes they do laugh,
Noting the person's laughter in the face of challenges.
I know I'm too late
Expressing a realization of being too late.
But to say how I feel is to learn,
Stating the importance of expressing true feelings.
And I won't lie to you next time,
Promising not to lie in the future.
No I won't lie to you next time
Reiterating the commitment to honesty.
'Cause I see things differently to you,
Highlighting a different perspective from the listener.
'Cause I see things differently to you,
Repeating the assertion of a unique point of view.
'Cause I see things differently to you,
Emphasizing a distinct way of seeing things.
'Cause I see things differently to you
Reiterating the assertion of a unique point of view.
She says will you wait?
The person asks if the speaker will wait.
But I won't wait,
The speaker declines to wait, signaling a change.
You can start this now,
Encouraging the commencement of a new phase.
Yeah I'll never ask why you can stop this now,
The speaker will not question why the new phase starts.
Yeah I'll never know why you can start this now,
The speaker remains unaware of the reasons for the change.
Yeah I'll never ask why you can start this now
The speaker won't inquire about the beginning of the change.
'Cause I see things differently to you,
Emphasizing a different perspective from the listener.
'Cause I see things differently to you
Repeating the assertion of a unique point of view.
