To Be
Morcheeba [feat. Rizzle Kicks] Lyrics

Curled up in my brain like a wisp of smoke
I am deeply and intricately entangled in my own thoughts and emotions.

Tension's rising high I can feel it in my throat
The stress and pressure of my situation is causing physical symptoms.

Hell is other people that I want to escape
The source of my discomfort and anxiety is the presence of other people in my life.

The nature of the problem is all bent out of shape
The issue that is causing me distress is complicated and convoluted.

How can I be certain that in spite of myself
I am unsure of how my actions and behaviors will impact others, even unintentionally.

You may be the perfect partner for someone else
I realize that while we may be together now, it is possible that we could ultimately not be right for each other.

After much consideration only one thing remains
Despite careful thought and introspection, I am still left with uncertainty.

While I'm seeking pleasure I'm causing you pain
My pursuit of personal satisfaction may be hurting someone else.

Leave me as you find me in an elegant mess
I want to be accepted for who I am, even if that means embracing my flaws and imperfections.

I want to feel untouchable like Elliott Ness
I desire a sense of invincibility and strength, free from vulnerability and weakness.

There are many things I've done but none of them I miss
I have a past full of experiences, but I do not feel nostalgia or longing for any of them.

Yeah, he sits with his wife Tipping her wine
A man is sharing a moment with his wife, enjoying a drink together.

She tells him bout her feelings inside
His wife is confiding in him and sharing her emotions.

Says I'm sick of the nights When you return with a glint in your eye
She is tired of his behavior and attitude when he comes home from nights out.

He just smiles He says that river's run dry
He dismisses her concerns and suggests that the issue is resolved or over.

He's finished, confined Babe, I'm making dinner tonight
He has decided to take action and make a change in their relationship, starting with cooking her dinner.

Her heart fills with pride He says go on leave, chill out leave
His attempt to improve things makes her feel loved and appreciated.

He breathes and moves to the kitchen He's through with the bitchin'
He is ready to move past any arguments or negative feelings they have had and focus on the present moment.

In fact, this evening he'll prove what she's missin
He is determined to show her his love and affection in a tangible way.

Well in the form of a rump steak Containing some changes
He is using cooking as a way to express his love and also make a change in their routine.

And via majors correct the marination
He is putting effort and thought into the details of the meal.

It's like holidays require a vacation Yeah, okay then Mwaah voila Better than it's ever been Pinch a suit and they grab a methamphetamine
The meal and evening together are reminiscent of a vacation, with a touch of excitement and indulgence.

No ones down with settlin'
No one is interested in settling for less than they deserve or desire.

She projects a grin, crosses her legs and her chest starts to shrink
She puts on a façade of happiness and confidence, but feels small and insecure inside.

She's Russian, but that means somethin'
Her ethnicity or background is relevant to her experiences or feelings.

She's loved him with silence
She has harbored feelings of affection for him quietly and without expression.

She can't tell her husband she mustn't
She feels unable or unwilling to share her true feelings with her husband.

But she urges to touch him
She desires physical and emotional closeness with him.

She's struggling to cope by recovery
She is attempting to manage or overcome emotional difficulties through some form of therapy or self-care.

She leaps on the table Heels unstable
She expresses her emotions in a dramatic and spontaneous way, but with a sense of instability or insecurity.

He smiles and he plans he feels they're unable
He is optimistic and confident about their relationship and future together.

She shines and her eyes well He leans in and says
Her emotions and expressions make her beautiful and attractive to him, and he responds with affection and tenderness.

Welcome to my world
He invites her to join him in his perspective and experiences.

In the not too distant future Someone is crying for me
I anticipate that I may cause pain or sadness to someone close to me in the future.

And if I'm not mistaken This is how I want to be (This is how I want to be) This is where I want
Despite the potential for negative consequences, I am committed to pursuing my desires and living my life on my own terms.
