Minuscule
Belmont Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Push you away, I found it's the better way
Of taking back all the space that your presence wastes
So count on me, to bite back with sharper teeth
I'm breaking skin just to surface what's underneath
(I'm glad) I'm glad you noted, that you go unnoticed
I'm giving up and I'm losing touch
Unaware of my own despair
(Cause I always hide it)

Quick tongue but it speaks so truthfully
You can never listen unless it is selfishly
I'll keep my distance, ruined persistence
Quick tongue but it speaks so truthfully
You can never listen unless it is selfishly
Go waste your own time, and give me back mine

Push me so far away and leave me standing in place
Push me so far away and retrace the steps we take
Patiently waiting (for you to make a mistake)
I'll keep on waiting (until you relapse and break)
Until you relapse and break

Quick tongue but it speaks so truthfully
You can never listen unless it is selfishly
I'll keep my distance, ruined persistence
Quick tongue but it speaks so truthfully
You can never listen unless it is selfishly
Go waste your own time, and give me back mine





Do you, feel full, making me feel, minuscule?
Do you, feel full, making me feel, minuscule?

I'm giving up and I'm losing touch
Unaware of my own despair

Push me so far away and retrace the steps we take
Patiently waiting (for you to make a mistake)
I'll keep on waiting (until you relapse and break)
Until you relapse and break

Quick tongue but it speaks so truthfully

Quick tongue but it speaks so truthfully

Go waste your own time, and give me back mine

Do you feel full making me feel minuscule?
Do you feel full making me feel minuscule?
