Burning Love's Deception: Whisper Party's Gaslight Revelations
Lyrics
Your love is a 20 dollar bill
Comparing the value of your love to something easily spent or used.
I could take it to the store, but I can't afford a thrill
Unable to enjoy or derive satisfaction from your love due to financial constraints.
Your love is a quarter tank of gas
Describing your love as something that gets one partway but isn't sufficient for a full journey.
I can get to where I'm going
Being able to move forward in a relationship or life due to your love, but not enough for complete fulfillment.
but it's not enough to make it back
Expressing that your love falls short, unable to fulfill the entire emotional or relational need.
Your love is a needless shopping spree
Comparing your love to excessive materialistic pursuits that lack deeper significance.
It's everything I want, but nothing that I need
Your love fulfills desires but doesn't meet essential emotional or relational needs.
'Cuz it's you, not me, sorry not sorry
Emphasizing the responsibility of your love for the situation, unapologetically.
Confusing gasoline for water 'til it's 2,000 degrees
Mistaking something dangerous (gasoline) for a necessity (water) until reaching a destructive level.
I'm all burned up, all burned out
Feeling emotionally drained and exhausted due to the detrimental effects of your love.
Your love is a drug that I could gladly do without
Your love is addictive but not beneficial, something better avoided.
Your love is seamless but it's cheap
Seemingly flawless but ultimately lacks value or depth.
Like a t-shirt for a buck, it unravels at the seams
Comparing your love to something cheap that falls apart easily.
Your love is boring and cliche, I'm slowly getting played
Describing your love as uninteresting and predictable, leading to a realization of being manipulated.
as these precious days fade away
Feeling the passage of time and the gradual loss of valuable moments due to your love.
'Cuz it's you, not me, sorry not sorry
Reiterating that the responsibility for the situation lies with your love.
Confusing gasoline for water 'til it's 2,000 degrees
Repeating the analogy of mistaking something harmful for a necessity until reaching extreme consequences.
I'm all burned up, all burned out
Feeling emotionally depleted and exhausted due to the damaging nature of your love.
Your love is a drug that I could gladly do without
Expressing a desire to rid oneself of the addictive but harmful nature of your love.
Oooo
Reiterating the detrimental effects and the desire to be free from the negative impact of your love.
Oooo
-Ooooahhh
