Navigating Love's Decay: Insights from ROT by Transcendentalweather
Lyrics
Spending most of my time
Reflecting on how most of the time is spent.
Trying not to lose my mind
Expressing the struggle to maintain mental stability.
I shouldn't get this high
Avoiding getting emotionally overwhelmed.
I don't know why I keep some things inside
Confusion about keeping certain thoughts or emotions hidden.
Now I'm rotting in my room
Feeling stagnant or decaying in a personal space.
You should come over this afternoon
Suggesting someone to visit in the afternoon.
I don't think I wanna like you
Initial reluctance or hesitation to develop a liking for someone.
But I think I'm really starting to
Acknowledging a growing attraction despite initial reservations.
I don't think I wanna like you
Reiterating uncertainty about liking someone.
But I do
Admitting the development of genuine liking despite reservations.
Can someone explain what's happening
Seeking an explanation for a confusing situation.
Oh god, why is this so embarassing
Expressing embarrassment over a situation.
Why am I taken for granted
Feeling unappreciated or undervalued.
At this age I don't understand it
Expressing confusion about life's complexities at a certain age.
Why can't you see
Questioning someone's inability to be honest and genuine.
That you can always be fucking real with me
Desiring authenticity and openness in relationships.
I don't rush into things
Preferring a cautious approach to relationships.
That's why it's not working
Highlighting the ineffectiveness of the current approach.
I thought you wanted time apart when
Recalling a past suggestion or request for time apart.
You said we shouldn't do this
Recalling a moment when a decision was made to avoid a certain action.
Time wasted, now you're in ruins
Regret over wasted time leading to a negative outcome.
You can't keep running away
Encouraging someone to face and address unresolved issues.
From the things that you say
Highlighting the importance of facing one's words and promises.
And the promise you made
Emphasizing the need to confront and fulfill commitments.
You just keep running away
Noting a pattern of avoidance and escapism.
From the friends that you made
Pointing out the avoidance of friendships and social connections.
And all of your mistakes
Addressing the evasion of responsibility and learning from mistakes.
Now I'm rotting in my room
Reiterating a sense of stagnation or decay in a personal space.
Now I'm rotting in my room
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being stuck or deteriorating.
(I thought you wanted time apart when
Recalling a previous desire for time apart and its consequences.
You said we shouldn't do this
Recalling a moment of decision-making and its negative outcome.
Time wasted, now you're in ruins)
Expressing the regret of wasted time leading to ruin.
