1. About Betrayed Trust and Self-Recognition
The lyric section "Hope you win for best actor" shows a deep disappointment towards the ex-partner. They feel that the ex has pretended to be someone they are not. This is a bitter acknowledgment that they misjudged the character of the person they loved.
This frustration triggers a very personal question, "Does she know you're not who you say you are?" The lyrics seem to pose a threat or at least, a desire to open the new partner's eyes to avoid experiencing the same thing. However, there is a deeper doubt, "Or was I just not me at all?". They not only doubt their partner but also themselves. Have they lost their identity in that relationship?
2. The Struggle to Let Go

In the lyrics "Why do I still protect you?", Ariana openly expresses her struggle to move on. She admits that she is still trying to protect her ex-partner and pretending that the songs she writes are not about him. This confession is a turning point where she realizes that she can no longer lie to herself or others.
Overall, Twilight Zone is not just a heartbreak song, but a deep reflection on doubt, betrayal, and the process of self-healing. Ariana invites us to contemplate the meaning of a relationship that has ended, where sometimes, the lingering questions are harder to let go of than the pain itself.
3. Lyrics of the Song Twilight Zone

Did I dream the whole thing?
Was I just a nightmare?
Different dimensions
Stuck in the twilight zone
Is this a black and white scene?
If so, then I'm in the gray one
Hope you win for best actor
'Cause I had you completely wrong
Does she know you're not who you say you are?
'Cause I might give her a call
Or was I just not me at all?
And it's not like I'm still not over you
It's so strange, this I never do
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened
It's not like I'd ever change a thing
'Cause I'm right here, where I'm meant to be
Not that I'd call you, I won't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened
Were we just mistaken?
Disguised our intentions?
Our nest was a masquerade (masquerade)
Why do I still protect you? (Mm)
Pretend these songs aren't about you (songs aren't about you)
Hope this might be the last one
'Cause I'm not fooling anyone
Does she know you're not who you say you are?
'Cause I might give her a call
Or was I just not me at all?
And it's not like I'm still not over you
It's so strange, this I never do
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened
It's not like I'd ever change a thing
'Cause I'm right here, where I'm meant to be
Not that I'd call you, I won't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened
It's not like I'm (over you)
It's so strange (I don't miss you)
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe (can't believe)
You happened
