Lyrics
I light the fuse
I initiate a process or action.
And I watch it burn
I observe the consequences unfold.
And somewhere deep inside I know there's a lesson to be learned
I acknowledge an inner realization that there's a lesson to be gained.
It's not the crime but the way that we pay for
The consequences are not about the act itself but about the payment we make.
Feelings unmutual
Dealing with emotions that are not reciprocated.
And you go upstairs
You move to a different place.
And I hang my head
I feel remorse or disappointment.
Somebody said I let myself down as I crawled into bed
Someone mentions that I disappointed myself as I retreat to bed.
I wandered why the hell I'd ever paid for
I question why I invested in something with unreciprocated emotions.
Feelings unmutual
Dealing with emotions that are not mutual.
I'm tired of living in the shadow
I'm weary of living in someone's influence or overshadowed by something.
These paper walls I can't break through
Unable to break through metaphorical barriers represented by paper walls.
I'm sick of standing by your window
Discontent with being an observer of your life from a distance.
Tracing silhouettes of you
Expressing frustration by tracing the outlines or memories of you.
But when it gets dark
During challenging times.
You light the spark
You ignite inspiration or motivation.
And all the lies I tried to live by start falling apart
Previous lies or illusions collapse when faced with reality.
Whoever knew that it could be so painful
Unexpectedly, the experience becomes emotionally painful.
Feelings unmutual
Dealing with emotions that are not mutual.
Now I can't escape
I cannot avoid or forget my past actions.
These things I've done
Anxieties are a result of my past deeds, and worse consequences await.
But my anxieties have promised me the worst is to come
Anticipating a challenging future based on anxieties.
So give up living for the life that you paid for
Suggesting to abandon a life that was lived for a particular ideal or expectation.
Feelings unmutual have won
Emotions that are not mutual have triumphed.
I'm tired of living in the shadows
Reiterating weariness of living in someone's shadow.
These paper walls I can't break through
Struggling to break through metaphorical barriers represented by paper walls.
I'm sick of standing by your window
Continuing discontent with observing life from a distance.
Tracing silhouettes of you
Expressing frustration by tracing the outlines or memories of you.
Tracing silhouettes of you
Repetition emphasizing the act of tracing silhouettes.
Tracing silhouettes of you
-Tracing silhouettes of you
-Tracing silhouettes of you
-I light the fuse
I initiate a process or action (repeated from line 1).
And I watch it burn
I observe the consequences unfold (repeated from line 2).
And somewhere deep inside I know there's a lesson to be learned
I acknowledge an inner realization that there's a lesson to be gained (repeated from line 3).
It's not the crime but the way that we pay for
The consequences are not about the act itself but about the payment we make (repeated from line 4).
Feelings unmutual
Dealing with emotions that are not reciprocated (repeated from line 5).
