Emotionally Unclean
Emotionally Unclean: Navigating Loneliness and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
You can splash water on your face, but you can’t wash the stench of loneliness away
Efforts to mask loneliness externally through actions like splashing water on the face are futile as the feeling persists internally.
Surfacing somewhere barely north of order,
Coming to the surface of understanding, just beyond chaos but not yet in a state of complete order.
finally admit that you’re not as whole as you thought you were
Acknowledging a personal sense of incompleteness or emotional emptiness contrary to previous beliefs.
A lingering nostalgia living rent free in your soul
A strong, nostalgic feeling residing within without any cost, influencing emotions deeply.
‘Cause you don’t respond to people who don’t love you
Choosing to invest emotionally only in those who reciprocate love, ignoring others.
Every single morning when you realise you’re alone
A realization of solitude and loneliness experienced every morning.
And I say that I just want someone to admit that they love me
Desire for someone to openly express love, perhaps for validation, but being unprepared to accept it due to personal issues.
So I can turn around and say “I’m sorry, I am still working on me”
Being aware of personal shortcomings and not ready to reciprocate love due to ongoing personal growth.
I am emotionally unclean, someone come and disinfect me
Self-perception of being emotionally troubled, seeking help or affection to heal.
Just one exquisite kiss before the fan starts to scatter the shit
Yearning for a moment of happiness or love before it gets disrupted or tainted.
We’ve probably been quiet for far too long, maybe I don’t scream enough
Suspecting that being reserved or not expressing oneself enough might be causing issues in relationships.
I would be better after all with fewer feelings involved
Belief that having fewer emotional involvements would result in a better state of being.
Hang around at the surface of the water: realise you are submerged
Realization of being deeply immersed or involved in a situation after merely floating at its surface.
‘Cause everything you said to me circles back completely
Recognition that past words or actions from someone continue to affect the present profoundly.
You’re the last couple of reasons why, the thing I see before I die
The person or memories mentioned are significant, possibly representing a crucial part of life or identity.
‘Cause I’ll be the blood on your lips, if you’ll be the hair on my shoulder
Metaphorical exchange of intimate traits or connections as part of a close relationship.
And I will promise I will never grow older:
Commitment to preserving youthfulness, purity, and perfection with a partner.
stay young, pure and perfect forever
Desire to maintain a perfect, eternal state in a relationship, coupled with spending relaxed time together.
and a couple of weeks on the sofa
A specific timeframe spent in a comfortable, casual setting, possibly with a partner.
The things you say will manifest in mysterious ways
Belief in the power of spoken words or promises to influence future events in mysterious ways.
What if I told you the plot says you’ll never change, you’ll never change
Expressing doubt about the possibility of personal change despite what the storyline or life suggests.
