Pandora's Box
Pandora's Box: Love's Dichotomy
Lyrics
There is something about that place
Expressing a mysterious quality or atmosphere associated with a particular place.
Can't even remember your face
Unable to recall the visage of the person being referred to.
4 am and all alone
Feeling isolated and lonely at 4 am.
Can't seem to let go
Struggling to release or move on from something.
I'm always here you're never there
Discrepancy in presence, with the speaker always available and the other person consistently absent.
I don't even know if you care
Uncertain about the other person's feelings or concern.
Wasting all my precious time
Investing time in a relationship that seems unproductive or unfulfilling.
Can't figure out why
Unable to comprehend the reasons behind the situation.
With you I feel so safe
Feeling secure in the presence of the other person.
But with you I'm filled with rage
Experiencing intense anger despite the sense of safety.
How can you say you love me when all you give it hate
Questioning the sincerity of love when faced with negativity.
With you I feel at home
Sensing comfort and belonging with the person.
But with you I'm all alone
Despite feeling at home, feeling isolated with the same person.
I do my best to build you up
Making efforts to uplift the other person.
But all you do is tear me down
Experiencing consistent tearing down despite positive efforts.
The weeks seem to feel so long
Subjective perception of time elongating during difficult periods.
When I'm never right I'm always wrong
Feeling constantly wrong and never right.
I'm not blind but I can't see
Awareness of the situation but unable to see a solution.
Straight at what's in front of me
Struggling to focus on what's directly in front, possibly due to inner turmoil.
My thoughts keep everything a blur
Thoughts causing confusion and lack of clarity.
But I forgive you when you slur
Forgiving the other person's actions, even when impaired (slur).
This rotation never ends
A cyclical pattern that repeats, suggesting an ongoing struggle.
Because we're at the start again
Despite the challenges, the situation starts anew.
I think I'm stuck in a simulation
Suspecting that reality might not be as it seems, feeling trapped.
Don't tell me no because I'm not mistaken
Asserting the certainty of their perspective despite potential denial.
Cursed with this paradox
Cursed with a situation that seems contradictory or unresolvable.
You're my pandora's box
Referring to the other person as a source of mystery and trouble (Pandora's Box).
With you I feel so safe
Reiteration of feeling secure with an underlying contradiction.
But with you I'm filled with rage
Contrast between a sense of safety and intense anger.
How can you say you love me when all you give it hate
Raising doubt about the authenticity of love due to negativity.
With you I feel at home
Feeling at home with a simultaneous sense of isolation.
But with you I'm all alone
Experiencing loneliness despite efforts to connect.
I do my best to build you up
Continuing efforts to uplift the other person despite challenges.
But all you do is tear me down
Consistent experience of being torn down despite positive intentions.
With you I feel at home
Repetition of feeling at home with a sense of loneliness.
But with you I'm all alone
Ongoing experience of isolation despite efforts to connect.
I do my best to build you up
Continued efforts to uplift the other person despite persistent challenges.
But all you do is tear me down
Reiteration of consistent tearing down despite positive intentions.
You tear me down
Conclusion, expressing the impact of being consistently torn down.
