Social Anxiety - Casualties of War: The Caged Bird is Free (Veronica) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

We fight then we fuck
Love a lot then give up
I think our time is up
I just can’t keep up

Damn, that’s cold
24 karat to fools gold
Where did time go?
Down the sinkhole
Never thought we’d outgrow
Each other but, oh no
That’s how life goes
I say goodbye slow

Cherish the moment
Savor the silence
Quiver in your voice
You don’t want this to end
But hell has no exit
No windows for tenants
No views to bask in
It’s time we unmasked it

Feelings are dated
Went from love to hatred
Independence to co-dependent
Cracked to shattered in pieces

Where are you?
Was breaking up a mistake?
“I miss you”
Is something I don’t wanna have to say


Now I’m driving in the fast lane to get to your place
Hoping you open the door so I can see your face
You’re the one I miss most, no one can take your place
Try as they may, my feelings will never go away
Who’s the guy that’s there with you, did he take my place?
You led me on through text messages now I just feel hate
But I still love you too much, this all drives me insane
I don’t need anyone else when I’ve got you at the plate
Is this payback from when I took you in vain?
At least I never toyed with your heart or worse your brain
But you say you still love me, now are you even being honest?
Or are those words to keep me falling for you falseness
You’ve got me trippin’ over you like my shoes are untied
We fucked the same night he proposed to you, that ain’t right
But right and wrong don’t mean shit, you belonged to me first
I guess I should’ve held onto you a little harder cuz this hurts
You say we have a future but we’re stuck in the past
An attraction like this could bite us both in the ass
Now we’re casualties of a war we started out of spite
I think we both keeping running back cuz we’re equally trite
Once I swore I’d love you with all of my might
But times have changed and we both know reality bites
Have to be honest with myself and that’s what hurts the most
We’re two mismatched pieces that could never make a whole
When I’m inside of you I’m dying inside of me
I fucked you again tonight; that’s the last you’ll see of me
I can’t take these fake promises, it’s just not working
You belong to him now and that really hurts me
Where do we go from here? That’s a good fucking question
Please stop sending me these text messages
Saying you miss me and want me inside you is a tease
Especially if you still go back to him after I leave

Sometimes I regret not locking you down
But you’re a caged bird who finally found a way to get out
Try as I may I can’t hate you for doing your own thing
Just hope when I cross your mind you remember me fondly
