Oblivious
Oblivious Echoes: Love, Loss, and the Machinery of Relationships
Lyrics
There's paint around me
Reference to a surrounding environment or circumstance with the presence of paint.
I'm laid out for the world to see
Feeling exposed or vulnerable to the world.
A heart attack round the back of an alleyway has never looked so tempting
Describing a dangerous situation metaphorically, implying allure in risky behavior.
I'm looking out for the both of us
Taking responsibility for the well-being of both individuals involved.
Through love and death is what we discussed
Discussion and commitment to facing challenges together, encompassing love and mortality.
Oh you're perfect, you deserve it, you'll get everything you want
Sarcastically praising someone as perfect and deserving, possibly with a hint of skepticism.
Yeah, I don't think so
Dismissing the previous statement or expressing doubt.
If we're being honest, do you feel like we were meant to be?
Raising a question about the compatibility or destiny of the relationship.
I can't help thinking this is headed towards history
Suspecting that the relationship is heading towards a significant or memorable outcome.
Itching beneath my skin, I feel like your machinery
Feeling uncomfortable or irritated, comparing emotions to machinery.
So pull my levers, lets find out if you would disagree
Inviting the partner to explore and understand the speaker's inner workings.
I can't hear a thing
Sensory deprivation or emotional numbness.
Yeah, I'm oblivious to what life brings
Being unaware or indifferent to life's challenges or experiences.
And I'm sorry if you call me and I don't pick up, I'm trapped in my own headspace
Apologizing for emotional distance and mental preoccupation.
I think you know that I'm a waste of time
Acknowledging a self-perceived lack of value or contribution.
But I have no idea where we should blur the lines
Uncertainty about the boundaries or direction of the relationship.
And it's a long road to the talks that we should be having
Anticipation or reluctance towards crucial conversations in the relationship.
If we're being honest, do you feel like we were meant to be?
Reiteration of doubts about the relationship's predestined nature.
I can't help thinking this is headed towards history
Reiterating the anticipation of a significant outcome in the relationship.
Itching beneath my skin, I feel like your machinery
Continuing the metaphor of discomfort, feeling like a mechanical entity.
So pull my levers, lets find out if you would disagree
Encouraging the partner to understand and challenge the speaker's feelings.
So call me broken, call me lost
Accepting negative labels, expressing a desire for genuine communication.
Call me anything, no matter the cost
Openness to criticism or judgment, emphasizing the importance of authenticity.
Just tell me something that's genuine
Request for sincere and truthful communication, highlighting a longing for authenticity.
I'm sick of waiting for the end
Frustration with waiting for resolution or clarity in the relationship.
If we're being honest, do you feel like we were meant to be?
Repetition of doubts about the relationship's compatibility or destiny.
I can't help thinking this is headed towards history
Reiterating the anticipation of a significant historical outcome in the relationship.
Itching beneath my skin, I feel like your machinery
Continuation of the metaphorical discomfort, likening emotions to machinery.
So pull my levers, lets find out if you would disagree
Encouraging the partner to actively engage with and challenge the speaker's emotions.
If we're being honest, do you feel like we were meant to be?
Reiteration of doubts about the relationship's predestined nature.
I can't help thinking this is headed towards history
Reiterating the anticipation of a significant historical outcome in the relationship.
Itching beneath my skin, I feel like your machinery
Continuation of the metaphorical discomfort, likening emotions to machinery.
So pull my levers, lets find out if you would disagree
Final encouragement for the partner to challenge and explore the speaker's emotions.
