Pedestal Lyrics

this reminds me of secret admirers. when someone secretly likes you, they put you on a pedestal since they only pick out the good aspects of you (since they admire from afar). when someone does not know they have this admirer, they don't really respond, so the secret admirer feels frustration. the song makes sense to me when i think of it this way.
