Lyrics
I see
Observation
Red flags all around me
Awareness of warning signs
Said I ain't lookin for trouble now
Expressing a lack of intention to seek trouble
But if you bustin' I'll double down
Ready to confront if provoked
7 never give em the run around
Asserting honesty and directness
Started steppin' when I wanted out
Started distancing oneself when desired to leave
Walk away from they runnin' mouths
Choosing to ignore gossip or negativity
I woulda trekked like a hundred miles
Willingness to make considerable efforts for change
Just to find myself something else
Initial pursuit for something new
But now I'm stuck
Feeling trapped in a situation
With this fucked sense of self
Feeling conflicted about personal identity
Isolate get defensive of help
Isolating oneself defensively for protection
Since when have I felt
Uncertainty about relying on others
I could rely on anybody
Expressing skepticism about depending on anybody
Sounds senseless as hell
Recognizing the seeming irrationality of this skepticism
Love myself but still
Self-acceptance yet seeking external validation
Need consensus to tell
Dependence on others' opinions despite self-love
Self-conscious just let the sentence prevail
Feeling overly self-aware and controlled by judgments
Just a sinner sittin spillin a tale
Admitting faults and sharing personal stories
Spinnin in circles
Feeling stuck in repetitive patterns
Indecisive never meant to hurt you
Acknowledging indecision and unintentional harm
Suffer from my mistakes
Accepting responsibility for past mistakes
You ain't the first to
Recognizing past similar experiences
Won't be the last
Anticipating the possibility of repeating mistakes
Unless you feel I still deserve you
Questioning deserving forgiveness for past actions
History is in the past
Emphasizing the importance of moving beyond history
So forgive me if I tend to exclude
Apologizing for selective memory or avoidance
Every instance in which you
Challenging perceptions of issues
Took up issue with me
Feeling misunderstood or unfairly judged
Wish I could just get you to see
Desire for understanding from the other person
You snubbed constant
Feeling consistently disregarded
Just a product of your subconscious
Attributing behavior to subconscious influences
Gettin' lost in the nonsense
Feeling lost in trivial or meaningless matters
What'd it cost in the long run just
Reflecting on the consequences of past actions
Wrong and I'm nauseous
Feeling guilty and uncomfortable due to mistakes
So now I can't help but play it cautious
Being cautious due to previous negative experiences
I see
Reiteration of observing warning signs
Red flags all around me
Acknowledging persistent warning signs
Nobody comparative
No one comparable to a specific situation
But it'll never change the narrative
Understanding inability to alter perceptions
Even got blamed by my therapist
Being blamed for insufficient effort in therapy
That I ain't doin' enough
Feeling conflicted despite perceived efforts
But I feel like I do and it sucks
Recognizing dissatisfaction despite attempts
Loosen up shucks
Encouraging oneself to relax despite difficulties
Put you in my shoes
Asking who to trust in a challenging situation
Who do you trust
Considering personal integrity over bluffing
Maybe I'm the one refusin' to bluff
Feeling criticized for losing connection
But told that I'm losin' touch
Being told of detachment from reality
Usually I don't cruise
Typically not taking things lightly
Just rush
Usually rushing but not with a specific group
But with em said I won't bruise once
Confident in not getting emotionally hurt
Won't lose sleep over one viewed chumps
Not bothered by opinions of certain individuals
Dude fuck
Expressing frustration and disbelief
Cause
Transition to the chorus
I see
Reiteration of observing warning signs
Red flags all around me
Reinforcing the presence of warning signs
