‘Iris’ is the second track off PAENDA’s debut album Evolution I. The song is written from the perspective of someone in a toxic relationship, in which they feel their partner lacked openness and trust needed for a relationship to grow, and the protagonist wishes to be let go.
[Verse 1]
Just thought for a second I heard something
But you just kept it to yourself again
I'm tired of talking to a wall of nothing
And silence all I get when you only refrain
You sold me down the river left me waiting
Whenever you didn't wanna be concerned
I may not be the bravest when I'm hurting
But I just can't put up with your apathy
Yeah, I can feel that it is hidden inside of you, oh, oh
Get your mouth up but still can read invisible and un-hearable signs
[Chorus]
You've got a mouth full of words
Still, I'm forced to read your signs
With so much on your heart
But they won't cross the lines
Try to them, hard to please
You got broke in return
Like I'm worth just the shit
Could you please just let me
[Post-Chorus]
Go, go
Go, go
Please just let me
Go, go
Go, go
Please just let me
[Verse 2]
Patience redefined by your indifference
You lock me out, deny to let me in
Help me understand your rude behavior for
I can only fathom things if I cut off the strings
I watch your pupils widen when I'm leaving
The color of your iris starts to glow
I can't' believe what I don't hear, it's like you're never really there
At least not until I'm about to quit this shit
[Chorus]
You've got a mouth full of words
Still, I'm forced to read your signs
With so much on your heart
But they won't cross the lines
Try to them, hard to please
You got broke in return
Like I'm worth just the shit
Could you please just let me
[Post-Chorus]
Go, go
Go, go
Please just let me
Go, go
Go, go
[Chorus]
You've got a mouth full of words
Still, I'm forced to read your signs
With so much on your heart
But they won't cross the lines
Try to them, hard to please
You got broke in return
Like I'm worth just the shit
Could you please just let me
[Post-Chorus]
Go, go
You've got a mouth full of words
Go, go
Like I'm worth just the shit
Please just let me
Go, go
Try to them, hard to please
Go, go
Please just let me
