Pearl
Self-Destructive Love: Unveiling Hidden Desires in Tree River's 'Pearl'
Lyrics
I'm attached to this distraction
I am drawn to this diversion or distraction.
But the now is all I know
The present moment is the only reality I am familiar with.
I'm gonna use you while I have you
I will utilize you while I still possess you.
And then I'll let this decompose
Afterward, I will allow this situation to break down or decay.
I don't know if I
I am unsure whether I
Need you or the time
require you or the passage of time
But something is missing inside
yet, there is a void within me.
I want all of your deepest lies
I desire all your most profound untruths.
I want all of the secrets you disguise
I desire all the concealed truths you withhold.
I want all of the things you hide
I desire all the things you keep hidden.
I want all of your future lives
I desire all your forthcoming existences.
You're mine
You belong to me.
You're trapped, tricked, and blind
You are ensnared, deceived, and unable to perceive.
And swept up by my selfish mind
You are engulfed by my self-centered thoughts.
I know
I acknowledge
I lack self-control
I lack restraint or self-discipline.
But you knew that a long time ago
However, you were aware of this a long time ago.
I'll change the tempo
I will alter the pace or rhythm.
I'm hard to let go
I am challenging to release or relinquish.
But this love is self-destructive
However, this affection or relationship is self-ruinous.
And there's nowhere for us to go
And there is no viable direction for us to follow.
I hope I lose you before I leave you
I wish to lose you before I depart from you,
Because you're stronger than this, you know
Because you possess strength beyond this circumstance, you comprehend.
