Tunnel Vision (Unused Vocals) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I make them panic, it's satanic how I bend my body
Yeah, you can look but you can’t touch
I'm not just anybody
Caught in a haze and hypnotized and you're too thirsty

Open your view and you will find

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes on the prize, thought the cherry would be better than the pie
You like that, like that, that, like that

That’s your demise, yeah, you hold me like you're rushing to my thighs
Too fast, too fast, fast, too fast

[Chorus]
Tunnel vision, on a mission
But, you're missing the garden from the flower
Fixated, pollination, sensation
Come for it now, come for it now
But your focus is empty
Come to here and dead me
Honeysuckle and fresh meat
But I'm more than that, more than that
And I'm more than that, more than that

[Verse 2]
They always hustle for the pussy, so they'll never get it
I make them tumble down the hill they climbed, I don't regret it
I saw that trick fall out your sleeve and I'm so certain
You hum a tune I don’t believe and it ain’t workin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes on the prize, thought the cherry would be better than the pie
You like that, like that, that, like that

That’s your demise, yea you hold me like you're rushing to my thighs
Too fast, too fast, fast, too fast

[Chorus]
Tunnel vision, on a mission
But you're missing the garden from the flower
Fixated, pollination, sensation
Come for it now, come for it now
But your focus is empty
Come to here and dead me
Honeysuckle and fresh meat
But I'm more than that, more than that
And I’m more than that, more than that

[Outro]
Crossing my heart, I'd rather die (oh-oh)
Than be the needle in your eye (oh-oh)

Show me how far obsession goes (oh-oh)
Could have been more, now we'll never know (oh-oh)

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The theme of this song appears to be about empowerment and self-worth. The lyrics imply a confidence in one’s own body and a refusal to be objectified or reduced to a mere sexual object for someone else’s pleasure. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of their worth and is not willing to settle for anything less than they deserve, despite the distractions and games played by others. It may also be a dedication to women who feel like they are sexualized because the have what society sees as a “perfect body” having an hourglass body figure with big breasts and a thin waist. The chorus, in particular, emphasizes one’s self-worth and their refusal to be objectified solely for sexual gratification. The line “But I’m more than that, more than that” is repeated multiple times, so is the phrase “you hold me like you’re rushing to my thighs, too fast to fast fast too fast”, reinforcing the idea that the protagonist is not comfortable with such behavior towards them and will not allow themselves to be just an object for someone else’s pleasure.
