Solitary, or so it Seems
Unveiling Depths: Toodles & The Hectic Pity's Musical Confession
Lyrics
Let’s just come clean with one another
Expressing a desire for honesty and openness between individuals.
As clear and transparent as a settled body of water
Comparing the clarity of communication to transparent water.
And we could just be friends, watch the movie until the end,
Suggesting the possibility of being friends and enjoying a movie without the need for repetitive and meaningless conversations.
Without interruption for pointless conversation we’ve been having every night
Criticizing the pointlessness of current nightly conversations.
I talk slowly and you say I’m fine
Commenting on the speaker's slow speech and the partner's reassurance.
And I’ll go outside and all the surfaces come back to me and I fall
Describing a recurring feeling of falling when going outside.
Every single morning and every single night
Highlighting the daily repetition of this falling sensation in the morning and night.
You said I will force you over it and I’ll come back to haunt you
Referencing a promise or threat of haunting and returning after a separation.
It’s a cold conversation you have every single time
Describing the nature of the conversations as emotionally distant or cold.
You say that I come walking over walls and every thought that you own
Accusing the partner of imagining the speaker behaving in a troublesome manner.
Will come back to haunt you in its own way, before we set ourselves on fire
Forewarning that the partner's thoughts will haunt them before a dramatic event.
And I’ll go outside and all the surfaces come back to me and I fall
Reiterating the sensation of falling when going outside.
Every single morning and every single night
Repeating the daily recurrence of the falling sensation in the morning and night.
You said I will force you over it and I’ll come back to haunt you
Reiterating the promise or threat of haunting and returning after a separation.
And I drive my teeth into the dry skin around my fingernails
Describing a self-destructive habit of biting the skin around fingernails.
Pull a chunk of flesh out, taste blood in my mouth
Depicting a physical manifestation of self-harm and tasting one's own blood.
And remind myself that I am not some of my bad habits
Affirming the ability to control and overcome negative habits.
I can quit when I wanna
Asserting the speaker's autonomy to quit bad habits at will.
