No one
Decoding Desolation: The Silent Struggle in Universal Hall Pass's 'No One'
Lyrics
so much pressure
Feeling a significant amount of pressure
I feel helpless
Experiencing a sense of helplessness
don't be angry with me
Pleading for understanding, asking not to be angry
I can't hold this in any longer
Expressing inability to keep emotions inside any longer
but you never listen to me
Not feeling heard or understood by the other person
you've been sending me messages
Receiving unclear or confusing messages
in language that is foreign to me
Messages are in a language that is difficult to comprehend
and I am tiring from trying
Feeling fatigued from continuous efforts
to decode the way you see things
Struggling to understand the other person's perspective
this is why there's no one
Explaining the reason for the absence of someone in their life
this is why there's no where
Describing the absence of a specific place or destination
this is why there's no one
Reiterating the absence of someone
yes, I'm grateful
Expressing gratitude
would you ever notice?
Questioning if the other person would ever notice
you're too busy watching tv
Observing the other person being preoccupied with TV
and I'm just wondering
Reflecting on personal thoughts
are you really happy?
Questioning the other person's happiness
because you're never happy with me
Noting a lack of happiness in the relationship
once again I'm on the fence
Being indecisive about the relationship
with the way this feels and how things should be
Conflicted feelings about the relationship dynamics
and I am tiring from hoping
Feeling tired of hoping for understanding
you'll decode the way I see things
Desiring the other person to understand their perspective
this is why there's no one
Reiterating the reason for the absence of someone
this is why there's no where
Describing the absence of a specific place or destination again
this is why there's no one
Emphasizing the absence of someone once more
oh, remind me again
Seeking a reminder of the emotional cost incurred
of how much I've cost you
Questioning the perceived expense of the relationship
you say that I'm expensive
Noting a comment about being considered expensive
and I know that you've good intentions
Acknowledging good intentions of the other person
but if I'm such a bad investment
Challenging the idea of being a bad investment
don't tell me you love me
Expressing skepticism about love without reciprocation
if you won't give without receiving
Stating the importance of giving and receiving in love
you keep sending me messages
Receiving unclear or confusing messages again
in language that is foreign to me
Messages are still in a language that is difficult to comprehend
I am tiring of trying
Feeling tired of continuous efforts to understand
to decode the way you see things
Struggling to decode the other person's perspective
this is why there's no one
Reiterating the reason for the absence of someone yet again
this is why there's no where
Describing the absence of a specific place or destination once more
this is why there's no one
Emphasizing the absence of someone for the final time
