How's It Going to Be
Navigating Uncertainty: Third Eye Blind's Reflection on Relationships
Lyrics
I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
I have some uncertainty about my ability to endure any more challenges or difficulties.
Before you take a swing
Before you respond aggressively.
I wonder what are we fighting for?
Questioning the purpose or reason behind our conflict.
When I say out loud
When I express openly
I want to get out of this
I desire to escape from this situation.
I wonder is there anything?
Wondering if there is anything valuable that I'll miss.
I'm going to miss
Anticipating the things that I might miss.
I wonder how it's gonna be?
Contemplating the future and questioning how things will turn out.
When you don't know me
When you lack knowledge about who I truly am.
How's it gonna be?
Asking about the future state of affairs.
When you're sure I'm not there
When you are certain that I'm absent.
How's it gonna be?
Questioning the outcome of a situation.
When there's no one there to talk to
When there is no one available for conversation.
Between you and me
In the space between us.
'Cause I don't care
Expressing a lack of concern or indifference.
How's it gonna be?
Repetition of the question about the future state of affairs.
How's it gonna be?
Reiteration of the question.
Where we used to laugh
Referring to a place where joy and laughter used to exist.
There's a shouting match
Describing a loud argument or disagreement.
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
Comparing the intensity of the conflict to a sharp scratch.
A silence I can't ignore
Highlighting a noticeable and unavoidable silence.
Like the hammock by the
Reference to a location with shared memories now empty.
Doorway we spent time in, swings empty
Recalling a specific moment in the past when the relationship felt deserted.
Don't see lightning like last fall
Contrasting the present with a past experience.
When it was always about to hit me
Reflecting on a time when danger or trouble seemed imminent.
I wonder how's it gonna be?
Repeating the contemplation of the future.
When it goes down
Questioning the experience when things take a downturn.
How's it gonna be?
Anticipating the state of affairs when you are absent.
When you're not around
Contemplating the situation when you are not present.
How's it gonna be?
Wondering about the outcome when the truth is revealed.
When you found out there was nothing
When the realization sets in that there is nothing left.
Between you and me
Repeating the emptiness in the space between.
'Cause I don't care
Reiterating the lack of emotional investment or concern.
How's it gonna be?
Repetition of the question about the future state of affairs.
And how's it gonna be?
Reiterating the question about knowing each other.
When you don't know me anymore
When there is a loss of familiarity or recognition.
And how's it gonna be?
Repeating the question about knowing each other.
Want to get myself back in again
Expressing a desire to rediscover oneself.
The soft dive of oblivion
Describing a gentle descent into forgetfulness or unconsciousness.
I want to taste the salt of your skin
Expressing a desire for intimacy and connection.
The soft dive of oblivion, oblivion
Repeating the concept of a gentle descent into forgetfulness.
How's it gonna be?
Reiteration of the question about knowing each other.
When you don't know me anymore
When there is a lack of recognition or understanding.
How's it gonna be?
Repetition of the question about the future state of affairs.
How's it gonna be
Repetition of the question.
How's it gonna be
Reiteration of the question.
