The Publicist
Echoes of Self-Reflection: The Depths Within 'The Publicist' Lyrics
Lyrics
While we were sinking
Expressing a shared experience of difficulty or crisis.
I was thinking why I should drown myself;
Contemplating self-destruction in the face of challenges.
Just drag myself down by the weight of lies
Feeling burdened by untruths, weighed down by deceit.
'Cause I've been dreaming of reasons to leave you behind
Longing for reasons to move on from a relationship.
All I needed was to set this aside
Desiring a break or separation for personal growth.
"Well I wish that I could choke back all the times
Expressing a desire to erase memories of past joy.
That you were easily amused by letting go"
Reflecting on moments when the other person found amusement in letting go.
"And I know you will never let it down"
Acknowledging that the other person won't forget those moments easily.
And you know why I could never find a friend
Unable to form a close connection due to the other person's damaged self-image.
Inside that broken shell you call yourself
Describing the other person as emotionally fractured.
But, I always loved the way you worked your words around the crowds
Admiring the way the person communicates amidst challenges.
So say I'm so wrong and selfish
Open to criticism of being wrong and self-centered.
And I'll push and pull through all the teeth
Enduring challenges and difficulties, facing them head-on.
That you have grown over the weeks
Noting the growth of emotional barriers over time.
But I'll still say that you are the sum of all your problems
Insisting that the person is defined by their issues and challenges.
And you know why I have grown to hate
Developing a strong dislike for the professed deep love.
The love you say you hold so deep inside
Criticizing the superficiality of the other person's emotions.
That hollow "heart" of yours
Referring to the other person's insincere or empty emotions.
And she said that we will never be the same again
Recalling a statement indicating a permanent change in the relationship.
And you know I will never let it down
Acknowledging the lasting impact of the mentioned statement.
