Signal
Navigating Love's Uncertainty: Tinyumbrellas' 'Signal' Reflections
Lyrics
I'm sitting here on the other side of the line
Feeling distant and separated from someone on the other side of communication.
And the signal's not quite right
Experiencing a communication issue, metaphorically represented as a signal problem.
You seem to think i'm fine
Others perceive the speaker as okay, but the speaker is not actually fine.
But i'm not quite ready for this
The speaker is not emotionally prepared for a situation or relationship.
Is it supposed to feel like this?
Expressing uncertainty about the expected emotional experience.
'Cus the butterflies aren't working
Indicating a lack of excitement or nervousness in a situation where it's expected.
And i can't shake it
Unable to overcome a certain feeling or emotion.
My mouth said the words
Verbal communication has occurred, but the speaker's emotions are conflicting.
But my heart is pulling me
The heart is pulling the speaker in a different emotional direction than expressed.
In the other direction
A conflict between the spoken words and the genuine emotional inclination.
I don't think i can fake this affection
Expressing difficulty in pretending or faking affection.
I hear the ringing
Auditory perception of something, possibly a metaphor for a realization.
But i keep myself away
Intentionally keeping a distance despite being aware of a certain guilt.
Even though the guilt is clinging
A sense of guilt is persistent in a confusing or unclear situation.
In this murky haze
Feeling emotionally clouded or confused.
I tried to tell myself it's fine
Trying to convince oneself that everything is fine.
But i'm not quite sure
Uncertainty about the truthfulness of the previous self-assurance.
If that's the truth this time
Questioning whether the current emotional state is genuine.
Is it supposed to feel like this?
Repeating the question about the expected emotional experience.
'Cus the butterflies aren't working
Reiteration of the lack of expected emotional intensity.
And i can't shake it
Continued inability to overcome a certain feeling or emotion.
My mouth said the words
Reaffirming the disconnect between spoken words and emotional reality.
But my heart is pulling me
Emotional conflict, with the heart pulling in a different direction.
In the other direction
Reiteration of the difficulty in faking affection.
I don't think i can fake this affection
Expressing the ongoing struggle with authenticity in displaying affection.
Is it supposed to feel like this?
Repeating the question about the expected emotional experience.
'Cus the butterflies aren't working
Continued lack of expected emotional intensity or response.
And i can't shake it
Continued inability to overcome a certain feeling or emotion.
My mouth said the words
Reaffirming the disconnect between spoken words and emotional reality.
But my heart is pulling me
Emotional conflict, with the heart pulling in a different direction.
In the other direction
Reiteration of the difficulty in faking affection.
I don't think i can fake this affection
Expressing the ongoing struggle with authenticity in displaying affection.
Is it supposed to feel like this?
Repeating the question about the expected emotional experience.
'Cus the butterflies aren't working
Continued lack of expected emotional intensity or response.
And i can't shake it
Continued inability to overcome a certain feeling or emotion.
My mouth said the words
Reaffirming the disconnect between spoken words and emotional reality.
But my heart is pulling me
Emotional conflict, with the heart pulling in a different direction.
In the other direction
Reiteration of the difficulty in faking affection.
I don't think i can fake this affection
Expressing the ongoing struggle with authenticity in displaying affection.
