More Than Sad
Navigating Emotional Turbulence: The Depths of Feeling 'More Than Sad'
Lyrics
I keep calling this a new year
Expressing the start of a new year.
Like I've never been here
Feeling as if the current experience is unfamiliar.
I don't seem to change
Not experiencing significant personal change.
One more Friday in a panic I can't understand
Expressing confusion and distress on Fridays.
How all my friends are moving fast
Observing friends progressing quickly in life.
But I keep falling back
Facing challenges and setbacks despite efforts.
I'm just a little more than sad
Describing a state of emotional distress beyond mere sadness.
I can smile but I gotta fake it
Smiling outwardly despite inner struggles.
I can eat but I can't taste it
Eating without enjoying the taste, possibly due to emotional numbness.
And I don't know if I'll make it out of bed again
Expressing uncertainty about getting out of bed again.
I'm more than sad
Reiterating a state of emotional distress.
I'm awake and I can't take it
Being awake and unable to cope with the situation.
I can't even look at myself
Struggling to face one's own reflection.
And I know I'm gonna need some help
Acknowledging the need for external assistance.
I'm just a little more than sad
Reiterating being more than just sad emotionally.
I wouldn't call me depressed
Rejecting the label of depression but acknowledging dissatisfaction.
But I'm not quite happy yet
Expressing a state of emotional limbo.
I'm just
Intensifying the feeling of being emotionally down.
Really
-Fucking
-Down
-Wishing I was someone else
Expressing a desire to be someone else.
All my friends are moving faster
Noticing the quick progression of friends despite personal setbacks.
But I keep falling backwards
Continuing to face setbacks despite efforts to move forward.
I'm more than sad
Repeating the struggle to maintain a positive appearance.
I can smile but I gotta fake it
-I can eat but I can't taste it
Continuing to eat without enjoying the experience.
And I don't know if I'll make it out of bed again
Expressing uncertainty about facing the day ahead.
I'm more than sad
Reiterating the difficulty of coping with wakefulness.
I'm awake and I can't take it
-I can't even look at myself
Struggling with self-reflection and self-image.
And I know I'm gonna need some help
Acknowledging the need for external support.
I'm just a little more than sad
Reiterating being more than just sad emotionally.
No I don't want
Rejecting the desire to admit a potential illness.
To admit
Reluctance to acknowledge a possible sickness.
That I just might actually be sick
Expressing uncertainty about personal well-being.
I don't want
Expressing a similar reluctance to admit emotional struggles.
To admit it
Reiterating a state of emotional distress.
I'm just a little more than sad
Repeating the struggle to maintain a positive appearance.
I can smile but I gotta fake it
-I can eat but I can't taste it
Continuing to eat without enjoying the experience.
And I don't know if I'll make it out of bed again
Expressing uncertainty about facing the day ahead.
I'm more than sad
Reiterating the difficulty of coping with wakefulness.
I'm awake and I can't take it
-I can't even look at myself
Struggling with self-reflection and self-image.
And I know I'm gonna need some help
Acknowledging the need for external support.
I'm just a little more than sad
Reiterating being more than just sad emotionally.
