Lyrics Day 310 – ‘Understanding’

Hey everyone,

today’s lyrics are written about a phone call I shared with my friend recently. I listened politely, but I guess then, and to be honest over the past week or so, I’ve just felt…placid, is the best word I can use to describe it. I’m still trying to understand that feeling fully, so I can’t really offer a whole lot more on it right now. What I can say though, is that these lyrics are based on my thoughts around it.

Stay safe ~

Understanding (Verse, Half Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus)

I woke up feeling tired
didn’t want to reply
but still I continued
other things on my mind

She probably thought me rude
as I hummed along
wondering as she complained
where her energy came from

‘Sorry, I just need a break
from all conversation’
Instead of trying to appease
should have been my inclination

She probably thought me rude
as I hummed along
wondering as she complained
where her energy came from
as she passionately explained
why she argued with her Mum
I was trying to understand
where my lack of feeling came from

She laughed as she said
she was lost, wrong direction
I just feigned a response
lost in introspection
she was probably hurt
at my lack of consideration
but it’s hard to care right now
leads to alienation

She probably thought me rude
as I hummed along
wondering as she complained
where her energy came from
as she passionately explained
why she argued with her Mum
I was trying to understand
where my lack of feeling came from
