Twenty 5 Percent
Navigating Chaos: Alfie's Reflection on Mental Struggles
Lyrics
They on to you
People are becoming aware of your situation
Boy I think they on to you
Suggesting a suspicion that others are onto you
They see you spacing out again
Observers notice your moments of distraction
They think it's lonely too
They believe your solitude is intentional
With all the shit up in your head
Your mind is burdened with thoughts and concerns
Maybe you tell the truth
Possibly indicating honesty in your communication
That if the rules don't break or bend
Warning about the danger of rigid adherence to rules
They'll be the death of you
Emphasizing the potential harm rules might cause
And honestly, I don't do well with honesty
Expressing difficulty dealing with straightforwardness
I become who you want
Transforming to fit others' expectations
And go with what you're calling me
Conforming to what others are calling you
That bothers me
Expressing discomfort with the situation
But I come by it honestly
Claiming a hereditary inclination toward this behavior
Guess I'm getting lit
Becoming intoxicated, possibly metaphorically
Cause I'm my own worst enemy
Being one's own worst adversary
I feel crazy
Experiencing a sense of craziness or instability
My mind is racing
Feeling a rapid and uncontrolled thought process
Can someone save me cause
Pleading for someone to help because of this state
I feel crazy
Repeating the feeling of craziness
I Guess
Introduction to self-assessment, admitting imperfection
Out of a hundred i'm about twenty-five percent
Rating oneself as 25% in terms of well-being or success
With the stress more or less
Attributing stress to the remaining 75%
Is a monster under my bed
Depicting stress as a monstrous presence
I think that I'll detach instead
Choosing detachment as a coping mechanism
And their eyes light up
People show interest in your background
When they ask about my origin
Highlighting curiosity about your origins
Turning into fuck your past
Transforming past experiences into a dismissive attitude
Move on, we'll call you born again
Suggesting a rebirth after moving on from the past
That shit don't last
Noting the transient nature of such transformations
Depression just kept pouring in
Expressing the persistent impact of depression
Over and over again
Repetition of the overwhelming nature of depression
It's like this shit never ends
Expressing the seemingly never-ending struggle
I feel crazy
Reiteration of feeling crazy or unstable
My mind is racing
Reemphasizing the racing nature of thoughts
Can someone save me cause
Repeating the plea for someone to save them
I feel crazy
Continuing the expression of feeling craziness
I feel crazy
Repetition of feeling crazy
My mind is racing
Reemphasizing the racing nature of thoughts
Can someone save me cause
Repeating the plea for someone to save them
I feel crazy
Final repetition of feeling craziness
