Struggling Attachment: A Tale of Growth and Distance
Lyrics
When you made your point, you made damn sure it got under my skin, and filled my veins.
Expressing the impact of someone's words, emphasizing how deeply they affected the speaker emotionally.
And, though I've tried my best to stay away, they've all collapsed as I've relapsed.
Despite efforts to distance oneself, relationships have crumbled, and the speaker has succumbed to old habits.
I'm so attached to things that I can't have and the thought of what you need.
The speaker is emotionally connected to unattainable things and is aware of the needs of the other person.
Truth is, even though we've grown with time, I still don't believe we could see eye to eye.
Despite the passage of time, there is a lingering doubt about the compatibility of perspectives between the speaker and the other person.
We come up short and you look down on me, but I'm keeping my head up to be more than what you've seen.
Despite shortcomings and judgment, the speaker remains resilient, aiming to surpass others' expectations.
Keep the hell away from me.
A direct plea for distance, a desire to be left alone.
And our fingertips trace what lies in permanence.
Touches on the lasting aspects of their connection, possibly hinting at shared memories.
Maybe if we'd opened up we never would have had to make incisions.
Suggesting that openness could have prevented the need for drastic measures or separations.
So can we agree it's funny how these stitches all dissolved and fell away when it was hard for us to make the right decisions?
Reflecting on the irony that difficulties in decision-making led to the dissolution of bonds that were difficult to break.
Even though we've grown with time, I still don't believe we could see eye to eye.
Reiterating the doubt about shared understanding despite the passage of time.
We come up short and you look down on me, but I'm keeping my head up to be more than what you've seen.
Despite judgment, the speaker remains determined to rise above preconceived notions.
Keep the hell away from me.
A repeated plea for distance and solitude.
Truth is, I know I'll be fine.
Expressing confidence in personal resilience and well-being.
Truth is, I know I'll be fine.
Reiteration of the speaker's confidence in their ability to overcome challenges and move forward.
I know that I'll be fine.
Emphasizing certainty about personal well-being.
Even though we've grown with time, I still don't believe we could see eye to eye.
Revisiting the doubt about shared perspective despite the passage of time.
We come up short and you look down on me, but I'm keeping my head up to be more than what you've seen.
Despite judgment, the speaker maintains resilience and determination to exceed expectations.
Even though we've grown with time, I still don't believe we could see eye to eye.
Reiteration of doubt about shared understanding despite personal growth.
We come up short and you look down on me, but I'm keeping my head up to be more than what you've seen.
Despite judgment, the speaker remains committed to surpassing others' expectations.
So just make sure you keep the hell away from me.
A final plea for distance and solitude, emphasizing the need to be left alone.
