Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have just referred to what's your own
Though i accuse you won't deny
You still refuse to look inside
I'm fit to be tied
Hindsight burns in my mind
All i've seen all i've heard
Thoughts unclear lines are blurred
You still refuse to look inside
Once i can find the time
I accuse you you refuse to look inside

The lines being blurred and thoughts being unclear illustrates the struggle of trying to make sense of the situation when the person refuses to confront their own problems. The final line of the song, "Once I can find the time, I accuse you, you refuse to look inside", speaks about the hope that one day the person will come to understand themselves, but also the resignation that it may never actually happen.
