Songtexte RETROGRADE - Tart

Stranded on this planet of desperate isolation
Can't hold me down
Nothing here to make a sound
Clearly I can tell I'm not your priority
I'll feign my glory
Still, here I am strolling through the sand

Hey there, why haven't you picked up the phone
'Cause I've been calling for a thousand years and I'm still alone
I'll tell you
Yet Sister, don't fall for his deceitful lies
You can see right through me
Come undo me
And it would only take one glance
For you to see that I am grasping at straws now
But yet, you have abandoned me once again
Twisting, searching, even though I'm hurting

Maybe
I'll try harder
To get through your cheap disguise
I'm not surprised
Confined by one word, thought, number, or reply
I thought that I could defy, everything that keeps me here
That was a lie

Hey there, please answer my desperate pleas
No matter how hard I scream I'm still here praying for release
Dear brother, I can see you piecing it back together
Cut a hole right through me
It consumes me
And it would only take one glance
For you to see that there is nothing left of me now
There's no part of me left for you to use
Trying, crying, guess who's found the lie? Me

I thought that I could be loved
I guess that all was a lie
I'm stalling
Go all in
I'm falling in retrograde
My heartbeat's humming a tune
I need to be there with you
My tired voice outstretches to you so I'll say it

Hey there, why haven't you picked up the phone
'Cause I've been calling for a thousand years and i'm still alone
I'll tell you
Sister, don't fall for his deceitful lies
Yet you can see right through me
Come undo me

Hey there, why haven't you picked up the phone
'Cause I've been calling for a thousand years and I'm still alone
I'll tell you
Sister, don't fall for his deceitful lies
Yet you can see right through me
Come undo me
And it would only take one glance
For you to see that I am grasping at straws now
But yet, you have abandoned me once again
Twisting, searching, even though I'm hurting

As I burn up in the sun
I finally see your face
I'm living in retrograde
