This song seems to be about Jade coming to terms with his growth as a person while dealing with a voice in his head that tries to drag him back. The “view” he sees is that of his new self, and despite being in love with it, he still struggles to fully accept it, leading him to fall “back into old ha...
[Verse 1]
So long, subtle alien vibes
Think I've been making progress in microscopic strides
So don't ask, 'cause I never could tell
All I need is four walls to make it my own hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Hell yeah, so what?
Watch an optimist drink half-empty cups
Well I'll grow, we'll see
If there's something good in me
[Chorus]
My eyes lit up when I saw it
A way out of looking for everything I wanted
My eyes lit up when I saw it
The view from where you sit
And apathy, I was in love with it
[Verse 2]
So long, narrow hollowing road
Thinking I'm turning back, it's the only way I knew
[Pre-Chorus]
And it shows for so long
Turning half-rights into full-on wrongs
Oh fuck, I'm gone
Another 4 AM song
[Chorus]
My eyes lit up when I saw it
A way out of looking for everything I wanted
My eyes lit up when I saw it
The view from where you sit
And apathy, I was in love with it
And apathy, I was in love with it
[Bridge]
But not as much as the phone ringing, not as much playing my house
Not as much as the way her goddamn voice sounds
It's like taking in sun and then taking it back
I fall into old habits, I'm stepping over your cracks again
[Chorus]
My eyes lit up when I saw it
A way out of looking for everything I wanted
My eyes lit up when I saw it
The view from where you sit
And apathy, I was in love with it
And apathy, I was in love with it
