Lyrics
Paper airplanes scatter the room
Paper airplanes are scattered around the room.
I chase the high from cobaines it can't compare to i'm proud of you
The pursuit of a high, possibly from drugs like cocaine, is incomparable to a feeling of pride.
I'm sick of everybody being the same
Feeling tired of people conforming and lacking uniqueness.
They work their way into my brain
Others' influences or thoughts infiltrate the singer's mind.
And then they leave me to die like you
People leave the singer behind to suffer, similar to a past experience (possibly referring to someone's departure).
Paper airplanes scatter your room
Paper airplanes are scattered in your space.
Some of them littered with suicide but mostly all of them say I do
Some airplanes symbolize self-harm or suicidal thoughts, while most express commitment (saying "I do").
I'll fly from the 8 and hopefully they will love me soon
Hoping for acceptance and love after departing from a specific place (8).
Speak quietly
Requesting to speak softly or with care.
All my demons are here for you
The singer's inner struggles and darker aspects are all present for the listener.
They say I push everybody I love away 'cause I'm afraid of affection
A fear of pushing loved ones away due to an aversion to affection.
That's a grave misconception
Correcting a mistaken belief about avoiding affection.
I'm just terrified that someday I'll hurt everyone I love from suicide and depression
Fear of causing harm to loved ones due to mental health issues like depression and suicidal thoughts.
Baby, please leave me alone 'cause I'm not built for this emotional connection
Desiring solitude due to feeling unsuited for emotional connections.
I'm torn between the concept of survival and the pursuit of perfection
Conflict between surviving and striving for perfection.
You couldn't sense the evil cause I've evaded detection
The singer's ability to hide their malevolence and evade detection.
They say it's mental illness, I would say it's obsession
Contrasting views on the singer's condition: mental illness vs. obsession.
Paper airplanes scatter the room
