Not Subtle Lyrics by Eliquate

2017

VERSE 1

I thought it was a simple case of answer yes or no
I didn't think that it would take me to where flesh would decompose
A meekish tone is what I had expected when I grabbed the phone
But pleasantly surprised to hear a female's voice say
"Hello!"

Girl had done her homework though
Sheepish, I still felt exposed
Never understanding just exactly where this talk would go

Told her of my muses
And my need for making music
Soon the conversation shifted out from underneath amusement

I'd opened open my tummy
Dumped the contents on the floor
There's a calming sense of urgency I simply can't ignore
I've never felt so natural
It's nothing like the others

Round the bases
Toward home
Started talking about my mother...

And maybe it's the fact
My sex life is now a fossil
Maybe I just miss the smell of shampoo in the nostril...
7 turned to 8 to 9 to 10 turned to all night
Couldn't think of nothing else
But having target's in my sight
Im pumping up my feathers
Sending over rough cuts
Thinking of forevers
My brain can't keep my mouth shut
First contact, A.M
Song title, prayer emoji, heart, high fiving tonsils, sweaty hands
Thinking 'oh geeze'
Engage the conversation
Always leaving with a question
Then acting like I ain't checking my phone every 5 seconds...

CHORUS

I'm not subtle
I'm not subtle
I'm not subtle
I'm not subtle


VERSE 2

I do this to myself
I like to call it pre-nostalgic
Introduced through sound waves
Spoken life
And favored albums
Placed upon a pedestal of impossible standards
Cool Ethan, I am not
Chest of drums, and tiny hammers
I'm building my own horse to fill with all these eager Spartans
Helen sows the beast, a brain, a lung, shoves the feeble heart in
I've departed from my reason
I just want you to like me
Can't see it how it is
Can only see it how it might be

Play it cool's not on my playlist
I hint and ask for yours
Suddenly Im so excited by some shit I thought was shit before
Shift it for I am not as gifted
I just spit the lore
Of stories told a thousand times defenses speaking cryptic more
Dudes simply say they think that love is like an ocean
Mines a tangled vine of nuance
And overused emotions
I must know more about you
It's becoming obsessive
Checkbox yes or no
Class note was friend requested
Polyscience, post-voyourist of all your festy pictures
Trying to get to know you through the person you've enlisted
Listen
I am not as creepy or persistent as this song may make it seem
Im simply saying there's a difference
Between my hopes and dreams
And you can feel free to dismiss it
If nothing else, I feel alive and faithful of my mission
Social media is one fucked up
And twisted mistress
As I stumble through your profile box
Check relationship.... SHIT
