Another conversation with no destination
Another battle, never won
And each side is a loser
So who cares if I have grown?
And I’m learning, so I’m leaving
And even thought I’m grieving
I’m trying to …

Don’t stop, pop that, don’t stop
Pop that pop that pop that
[Rick Ross]
Drop that n*gger bitch
[Drake]
I’m young Papi, Champagne
They know the face, and they know the name
Drop that n*gger bitch
What you …
Yeah yeah yeah
Um um
[Verse 1]
You are my starlight
Your shine can brighten up the darkness night
I’ll follow you until the daylight
‘Cause when you’re close
I know it’s alright, alright, alright, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
See baby, …
When your soul finds the soul it was waiting for
When someone walks into your heart through an open door
When your hand finds the hand it was meant to hold
Don’t let …
I need your love
I need your time
When everything’s wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love
[Beat break]
I need your …
This is a song about somebody else
So don’t worry yourself, worry yourself1
The devil’s right there right there in the details2
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself3
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
No no no no!4
Put your arms around somebody else5
Don’t punish yourself, punish yourself6
Truth is like blood underneath your fingernails7
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
No no no no!
No no no no!
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
No no no no!
I could be wrong ’bout anybody else
So don’t kid yourself, kid yourself
It’s you right there, right there in the mirror8
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
Yeaaah
Looking too closely
You don’t wanna hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too close
Fink sings about somebody living in denial, especially someone who has a cheating lover.
If this person wanted, he or she could easily discover whether the partner is cheating.
However, he or she refuses to discover whether the partner is cheating in an effort to maintain surface-level happiness and avoid being traumatized.
Fink explores the mentality of those whose partner is cheating: don’t examine the details too closely or you might get hurt.
In other words, take refuge in another person.
Don’t blame yourself if your partner is having an affair.
Discovering the truth is painful. Being in denial at least maintains some level of satisfaction.
Again, the message Fink sends in this song is that the mentality of those who are in denial about a cheating partner is to maintain surface-level happiness and avoid the truth.

We dont want to get too close to what can be hurtful. The devil is looking at the details and we dont wanna hurt ourselves. We just dont wanna look to close at the potential things but to look closer at life and more eternal things.
