Where the World Can't Hurt Me
Embracing Solitude: Navigating Life's Turmoil Through Inner Sanctuary
Lyrics
I never thought I'd think like this again, but I guess that's what life brings
Reflecting on unexpected thoughts due to life's experiences.
And so I lie hidden by my sheets in my bed so the world can't hurt me
Retreating from the world to protect oneself emotionally.
I'm staying awake till 4am and thinking about what could have been, but that's not what's meant to be!
Contemplating missed opportunities and accepting fate.
And so I write down everything that I'm feeling to guide my thoughts away from me
Using writing as an outlet to distance from personal emotions.
Ooooooooooo, oooooooooo
Emotional vocalization or emphasis.
Surrounded by a world full of people like me, yet I feel so lonely
Feeling isolated despite being around similar individuals.
There's a ghost in my place, not a name or a face, but he looks just like me
Sensing an indescribable presence akin to oneself.
I'm tired of people looking through me, thinking they know everything about me, they don't know what they can't see
Displeasure at being misunderstood by others.
And so I find myself back in bed, in my head where my thoughts can run free
Returning to a mental space for introspection and freedom.
This is my reality where misery looks good on me, and I can't get away from the pain that seems to follow me!
Perceiving personal circumstances as a consistent cycle of suffering.
Everybody seems to think that life was meant to be easy but if it's meant to be than I think something must be wrong with me!
Challenging the notion that life should be easy, feeling abnormal.
I know that the life we live can feel so alone
Acknowledging the inherent loneliness in existence.
So I go, oh I go to the world in my head that's become my home!
Seeking solace in an internal mental space as a preferred refuge.
So I sink into the hole that I once came to know as the low of my self-esteem
Diving into a familiar feeling of low self-worth.
Looking up from the bottom, I can see how they got me buried in my anxiety
Realizing the depth of being overwhelmed by anxiety.
Well maybe I didn't make it clear, that feelings aren't meant to just disappear, though
Expressing that emotions cannot simply vanish despite appearances.
that's what it seems to me!
Questioning the understanding of emotional experiences.
So I'll just stay down here all alone my dear where the world can't hurt me
Choosing isolation to shield from external emotional harm.
This is my reality where misery looks good on me, and I can't get away from the pain that seems to follow me!
Perceiving pain as an inescapable aspect of personal reality.
Everybody seems to think that life was meant to be easy but if it's meant to be than I think something must be wrong with me!
Feeling abnormal due to the perceived difficulty of life.
I know that the life we live can feel so alone
Acknowledging the inherent loneliness in existence.
So I go, oh I go to the world in my head that's become my home!
Turning to the internal world as a comforting refuge.
I just can't stop thinking of what this is doing to me
Constantly dwelling on the impact of circumstances.
I've got this sinking feeling in my chest and I can't breathe
Experiencing a suffocating sensation due to emotional distress.
No I can't breathe, oh tell me God am I the only one like me?
Questioning uniqueness in emotional struggles.
Well here I am thinking like this again cause I guess that's what life brings
Reflecting again on unexpected thoughts due to life's experiences.
I'm losing myself in my head again knowing that the world can't hurt me
Retreating mentally to avoid external emotional pain.
