Sightline
Track 5 of Whole Meal
[ Lyrics ]
Looked right through you, right at me. Looked right through you, right at me. City lights on the rooftop, cold glass in my hand, little spark in the distance — wasn’t part of the plan. You turned, caught my silhouette, smiled like we shared a joke, but the punchline’s been over for six months and smoke. I didn’t flinch, didn’t freeze, didn’t play it small, just held my sip like I owned the whole wall. You took one step, then another — I stayed in my frame, my spine like steel, not a trace of your name. And I remember how you’d whisper, 'You were always so loud,' like confidence was a sin in our clouded-out house. But the silence I wore? That was performance, not peace. Now the weight’s off my voice — I don’t need your release. I looked right through you, right at me, proved the reflection was all I need. No anger, no tears, just a sip and a glance, rewrote the script in a single glance. I looked right through you, right at me — finally seen, finally free. You paused mid-stride, caught in the frequency, realized I wasn’t hiding — I was just… living. No side-eye, no drama, no need to retreat, just a woman who finally fits in her seat. The crowd swayed close, laughter bounced off the glass, but your orbit felt smaller than the ice in my glass. You reached for a line, but the air cut it clean — no tether, no tension, no should’ve, no mean. And I remember how you said, 'You’ll come back when you’re tired,' like my love was a coat left behind in the fire. But I’m not returning — I’m not even going, 'cause the home I was missing was inside all this knowing. I looked right through you, right at me, proved the reflection was all I need. No anger, no tears, just a sip and a glance, rewrote the script in a single glance. I looked right through you, right at me — finally seen, finally free. You wanted a battle, you wanted regret, a crack in my calm, a knee in the chest. But I’ve been rebuilding with every small choice, no more second-guessing, no more soft voice. I’m not your redemption, I’m not your mistake — I’m the quiet you made… that you couldn’t take. I looked right through you, right at me, proved the reflection was all I need. No anger, no tears, just a sip and a glance, rewrote the script in a single glance. I looked right through you, right at me — finally seen, finally free. 'Right at me!' — Right through you… right at me.
