Lyrics
[catchy introduction] [violin solo] [dreamy violin] [violin]
[verse 1]
listen—
listen to—
listen to the weight—
listen to the weight of looming silence—
the blanket of the palpable—
cold, and heavy.
the sight—
the sight of—
the sight of the elephant—
the sight of the elephant's resident awkwardness—
the vision of estrangement—
hypnotized, and controlled.
the feeling—
the feeling of—
the feeling of anxiety—
the feeling of anxiety's grip on reality—
the touch of torment—
imprisoned, and chained.
the scent—
the scent of—
the scent of anticipation—
the scent of anticipation's heavy burden—
the smell of longing—
insightful, and introspective.
feelings of thoughts—
untold, but expected.
[build] [short musical interlude] [piano solo] [dreamy piano] [piano]
expected,
expected,
introspective but dejected...
dejected and tied to hindsight.
hindsight is 20/20—
hindsight is 20/20—
with hindsight the blind see.
[bridge] [saxophone solo]
[hook]
hindsight is 20/20—
it leaves you wanting, wanting.
hindsight is 20/20—
it leaves you waning, waning.
hindsight is 20/20—
you know you want it, want it.
hindsight is dawning, dawning,
it leaves you wanting, wanting.
hindsight is straining, straining,
it leaves you waning, waning.
hindsight you got it, got it,
you know you want it, want it.
hindsight for the blind,
it leaves you wanting, wanting.
hindsight for the blind,
it leaves you waning, waning.
hindsight is for the blind,
you know you want it, want it.
