In "Tunnel Vision," Comeback Kid wrestles with a relationship that offers both comfort and pain, leaving them suspicious of the very person they turn to. The repeated contrast between saint and criminal captures how trust and betrayal blur until they feel cornered, their back against the wall. The title image suggests a narrowing focus so intense that identity itself starts to slip, yet there is a strange relief in that chaos. Ultimately, the song voices the exhaustion of realizing the struggle was never worth the cost.
Tunnel Vision Lyrics by Comeback Kid
I look to you in comfort
I look to you in pain
I’m trusting all my instincts
I’m suss on you the same
Lean into my values
Find a way to explain
Souring with that attitude
Bitter all the same
Wronged of purpose
Blessed with curses
Another saint, another criminal
It wasn’t worth it
Don’t deserve it
Now my back’s up against the wall
I look to you in comfort
I look to you in pain
I’m trusting all my instincts
I’m suss on you the same
This struggle’s insane
Wronged of purpose
Blessed with curses
Another saint, another criminal
It wasn’t worth it
Don’t deserve it
Now my back’s up against the wall
Tunnel vision
Tunnel vision
Am I losing my identity?
Tunnel vision
Finding comfort in the chaos
When I was wronged of purpose
Blessed with curses
Another saint, another criminal
It wasn’t worth it
Don’t deserve it
Now my back’s up against the wall
I’m wronged of purpose
Blessed with curses
He wasn’t worth it
Don’t deserve it
Now my back’s up against the wall
