Lyrics
As the subway windows squeaky moaned
Observing the subway's noisy windows, possibly indicating a sense of discomfort or unrest.
You were lost somewhere inside your phone
Despite being physically present together, your attention was absorbed by your phone, emotionally detached.
My eyes were on our reflections
The speaker's focus was on their reflection, symbolizing introspection or self-awareness in the situation.
Sitting side by side having different rides
Metaphorically, both individuals were on different paths or mental journeys despite being physically close.
Your text has been my sole command
The recipient's text messages were commanding, having significant influence over the speaker's actions.
You know I'd still give in to your demands
The speaker acknowledges a tendency to comply with the demands or requests of the recipient.
If you would just dearly touch my hair
Desire for affection or intimacy, seeking a gesture of care from the recipient.
Even when you'd never answer my prayers
Despite longing for a response to prayers or pleas, the recipient remains unresponsive.
You are everything but reliable
The recipient lacks reliability, suggesting inconsistency or unpredictability in behavior.
And you make it feel justifiable
Justifies or rationalizes the recipient's actions, making them seem acceptable despite their unreliability.
You're so good at sitting right in the middle
The recipient comfortably remains neutral, avoiding commitment or choosing a side.
Drawing the line so invisible
The recipient draws boundaries that are hard to perceive, making it challenging to define their intentions.
You let me know I'm expendable
The recipient makes the speaker feel replaceable or disposable.
While you tell me I'm so impeccable
Despite devaluing the speaker, the recipient praises their qualities.
You're so good at sitting right in the middle
Reiterates the recipient's neutrality or reluctance to take a clear stance.
Pretending my heart is invisible
Implies the recipient disregards or ignores the speaker's emotions.
Why do I worship the one who let me suffer
Questions why the speaker idolizes someone who causes them pain.
I don't think this pain ever makes me stronger
Expresses doubt that enduring pain contributes to personal strength.
I'm done with your subtle rejections
The speaker is fed up with subtle dismissals or refusals from the recipient.
All I want is some true affections
The speaker desires genuine affection and emotional connection.
I'm good at holding hands, getting kisses, you know
Expresses proficiency in physical affection but questions if it's noticed or valued.
Do you even notice me except when you take me down below
The recipient only seems to acknowledge the speaker's presence in certain situations.
There you would just dearly touch my hair
Similar to line 7, longing for a tender gesture despite unanswered prayers.
But never answer none of my prayers
Repeats the feeling of unanswered prayers or unfulfilled desires.
You are everything but reliable
Reiterates the themes of the recipient's unreliability, making excuses for their behavior, drawing invisible boundaries, feeling expendable yet praised, and being emotionally neglected.
And you make it feel justifiable
-You're so good at sitting right in the middle
-Drawing the line so invisible
-You let me know I'm expendable
-While you tell me I'm so impeccable
-You're so good at sitting right in the middle
-Pretending my heart is invisible
-You are everything but reliable
Repeated chorus emphasizing the inconsistent and neglectful behavior of the recipient, the speaker feeling undervalued yet praised, and the emotional neglect experienced.
And you make it feel justifiable
-You're so good at sitting right in the middle
-Drawing the line so invisible
-You let me know I'm expendable
