Subtle

(Ahhh, ahhh)

My system to win lyrically

Is just too easy to see

Metaphorical, colorful, literal figures of speech

Fan the flames of this brainmelt disease

Just another gift from I to me

This eccentric cognition just isn't the prison they said it would be

I only like statistics when they’re mine

And the current rate of growth is just around one tenth x squared

The dependent variable has a mean

Of point five eight probability

That I'll delete the whole damn song

No joke, I swеar

(Haha, very funny)

I am not as subtle as I think

I'm afraid you see my poetry is hеavy-handed as brick

Every time I put out a tune

Feels like I’m spelling it out for you

No, I am not as subtle as I think

Sensibly, you might just ask me why

(Why do you do this?)

If I don't want people knowing

Do I even want them to try?

I don't really mind them dissecting me

I'm already unraveling at the seams

So implicity can be the state being implied

"What is the point of all this?"

"It's like I'm firing a shot in the dark and hoping there's someone like me out there who might know what the hell I'm talking about."

"But is that what I really want?"

"For everyone to decode these insane ramblings I call lyrics?"

"Or do I just wanna keep sweeping puzzle pieces under the table and hope nobody ever solves it?"

Just between you and me

If you listen carefully

You may notice a pattern emerging that nobody cares

Music has meaning to everybody

It won’t always be what it means to me

There isn’t a thing in the world every living human shares

(Besides like, being alive)

So please take what you will, hear what you need

No matter all the ulterior motives underneath (haha)

And if you think that you've figured me out

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

You’re probably too shy to admit it, just like me

Nothing is as subtle as it seems

On the off-chance that it is

I guess you'll have no idea what I mean

It's easy to blink an eye and miss

Attentional bias deficit

Oh, maybe I'm as subtle as I wish (no)

I am not as subtle as I think

’Cause you only need a blacklight to see invisible ink

But if the message won't come through

Make it whatever it means to you!

Honestly, it's probably not as good as what you think

"Oh, I think I get it now!"
