Not Around
Unraveling Emotions: Two Trains Left's 'Not Around' Story
Lyrics
I wake up late, And now I wait
The speaker wakes up late and is currently waiting.
I know you're so not ready for another fight
Acknowledges that the person they're addressing isn't prepared for another argument.
Can we just stop and then pretend
Asks if they can pause and pretend that everything is okay.
That everything, yeah everything's alright
Desires to make believe that everything is fine despite it not being so.
I'm always out, I'm always blind
Feels frequently absent and unaware, often engaging in internal conflicts.
I fight with everyone especially in my mind
Expresses engaging in internal struggles, fighting within their thoughts.
and now I've let you see this mess
Admits to showing their mess or vulnerable side to the person they're addressing.
How much longer now before we disconnect
Asks how much longer it will be before they disconnect or grow apart.
Tell me why I'm waiting! oh oh
Questions why they are waiting, feeling frustrated about the situation.
It's so frustrating
Expresses extreme frustration about the current circumstances.
I never thought I'd learn to grow without a purpose
Reflects on not anticipating personal growth without a clear direction or purpose.
I realise that I was wrong and kind of selfish
Realizes and admits to being wrong and self-centered in their actions.
You were the one I always wanted, but I wrecked it
Expresses regret for ruining the relationship with the person they desired.
And now I understand what happens, when you are not around
Understands the consequences of the person's absence on their life.
I'm so upset, I'm just too blind
Feeling deeply upset and unaware, engaging in internal conflicts.
I fight with everything especially my mind
Continues to express internal struggles and fighting within their thoughts.
But I'm no help, I must be dumb
Feels ineffective and possibly unintelligent in handling their situation.
And I hate every little thing that I've become
Dislikes the person they've become and hates their actions and choices.
Tell me why I'm waiting! oh oh
Reiterates the frustration and confusion about waiting in this situation.
It's so frustrating
Reiterates extreme frustration about the current circumstances.
I never thought I'd learn to grow without a purpose
Reflects again on not expecting personal growth without a clear direction or purpose.
I realise that I was wrong and kind of selfish
Acknowledges past mistakes and self-centered behavior.
You were the one I always wanted, but I wrecked it
Expresses regret for ruining the relationship with the desired person.
And now I understand what happens, when you are not around
Reiterates the understanding of consequences due to the absence of the person.
I never thought I'd learn to grow without a purpose
Reiterates the realization of personal growth without a clear purpose.
I realise that I was wrong and kind of selfish
Reiterates acknowledgment of past mistakes and self-centeredness.
You were the one I always wanted, but I wrecked it
Reiterates regret for ruining the relationship with the desired person.
And now I understand what happens, when you are not around
Reiterates the understanding of the consequences due to the person's absence.
