about

In this song, Zen 101 questions the power game we see in a relationship, where you may find yourself wanting to be superior than the other, or wanting the other person to have more power than you.
Either way, recognizing and sharing such emotion with others could be uncomfortable. But in this song, Zen sings that we should at least start facing ourselves in a closed safe place like a relationship, which is often the smallest unit of our society.

lyrics

Since when did you stop looking me in the eye?
Since when did you start acting so bitterly?
Is that because I make more money than you?
Is that because I get more shits done you do?
Is that because I got opinions and I’m not afraid of tell them out loud unlike you?

What are you afraid of?
What are you ashamed of?
You have no idea what my heart is capable of.
So tell me what is on your mind
So tell me what is on your mind
So tell me what is on your mind

Did you feel threatened by my success?
Did you feel threatened by my loud presence?
Did you want someone who doesn’t make you feel you are any less of a man?
But the truth is my heart was just too big for you and for your dick

Yet I was ready to love you, your vulnerability and insecurity
Only if, only if, only if you allowed me to see them
But even then even then even then even then even then
You just shut the fucking door right in front of my face
So I got to go where I got to go

Nobody else is watching us
So show me who you are
I was ready to love your flaws and claws
Nobody else is going to love you the way I did
But when you change your mind
I’ll be long gone, gone
