casualty Lyrics By kenzie

[Verse 1]
This was a happy accident
I wasn't looking for it, but that's how it happens (Mmm, mmm, mmm)
Guess you could call it unfortunate
You could say I'm unlucky, feels the opposite (Mmm, mmm, mmm)

[Chorus]
It's like we're a car crash waiting to happen, and we don't pull over
Like we're gonna both jump into the deep, with weight on our shoulders
We keep our eyes shut, 'cause if we didn't
We'd see the end, don't wanna admit it
To loose you, that would be a tragedy
And I'm scared that you'll be the casualty

[Verse 2]
This couldn't be worse timing
But the fact that we can't makes it exciting (Mmm, mmm, mmm)
That's why I've tried keeping my eyes shut
And knowing the obvious, while we self-destruct
And kill both of us

[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, you'll be the casualty
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
We keep our eyes shut, 'cause if we didn't
This'll be over and I couldn't fix it
To loose you, that would be a tragedy
And I'm scared that you'll be the casualty

[Verse 1]
Kenzie describes the unexpected nature of the relationship, calling it a happy accident. Despite not seeking it out, she acknowledges the seemingly unfortunate timing, yet feels the opposite. This reflects the ambivalence and paradox of finding something wonderful amidst chaos.

[Chorus]
The chorus uses the metaphor of a car crash waiting to happen to illustrate the precariousness of the relationship. Despite knowing the potential for disaster, Kenzie and her partner choose not to pull over, metaphorically keeping their eyes shut to avoid facing the inevitable end. The fear of losing each other is profound, and Kenzie is particularly scared that her partner will be the casualty of their destructive love.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Kenzie acknowledges the bad timing of their relationship, yet finds the forbidden nature of their love exciting. She admits to deliberately ignoring the obvious signs of impending self-destruction, emphasizing the allure and danger of their connection.

[Chorus]
Reiterating the car crash metaphor, Kenzie emphasizes the weight of their burdens and the shared responsibility for their potential downfall. The repetition of keeping their eyes shut underscores their reluctance to confront the reality of their situation, fearing the tragic outcome of losing each other.

[Outro]
In the outro, Kenzie continues to express her fear of losing her partner. The repetition of the phrase "you'll be the casualty" highlights her anxiety and the tragic inevitability she feels. The acknowledgment that opening their eyes would end the relationship reinforces the theme of deliberate ignorance in the face of impending disaster.
