Lyrics
Hey Mr. Stoic, no emotion
The speaker addresses someone as "Mr. Stoic" and comments on their lack of emotion.
How'd you feel about the things we did today?
Asking Mr. Stoic about their feelings regarding the day's events.
Hey Mr. Stoic, what's your problem?
The speaker questions Mr. Stoic about their issue or trouble.
Did you say all of the things you wanna say?
Asking if Mr. Stoic expressed everything they wanted to.
Things you wanna say
Reiterating the query about expressing desired thoughts.
Good morning Mr. Stoic, it's time for you to get up again
Greeting Mr. Stoic in the morning, suggesting it's time to wake up.
I know it's not the morning, but I thought you would like to hear it
Acknowledging that it's not morning but still attempting to engage Mr. Stoic.
Corner store receipt, wind in my hair, my clothes in my back seat, what do you know I'm gone
Describing leaving a place swiftly with personal belongings.
Hand on my heart beat, head on my shoulders, yellow my mood swing, hope you can see I'm home
Describing physical sensations and hoping for understanding.
You ask me what I'm thinking, but half the time I'm feeling like I can't really feel anything
Expressing difficulty in connecting thoughts with emotions.
Emotions tend to sink in, in hindsight when daydreaming, so for now I wasn't thinking a thing
Reflecting on emotions arriving later, especially during daydreaming.
Hey Mr. Stoic, no emotion
Repeating the comment about Mr. Stoic's lack of emotion.
How'd you feel about the things we did today?
Repeated inquiry about Mr. Stoic's feelings regarding the day.
Hey Mr. Stoic, what's your problem?
Reiterating a question about Mr. Stoic's problem or concern.
Did you say all of the things you wanna say?
Asking if Mr. Stoic has expressed all desired thoughts.
You got a permit for the thoughts that you're concealing?
Questioning if Mr. Stoic has permission to hide thoughts.
Sir please, your expression's unappealing
Commenting on Mr. Stoic's unattractive facial expression.
They say, "it takes more work to frown than smile big" but my God, this the face that I was born with
Reflecting on the difficulty of changing one's inherent facial expression.
Four years old saying Santa ain't coming
Recalling a childhood memory of disbelief, possibly related to disappointment.
Hated every minute we were at the Grand Canyon
Recalling a negative experience at the Grand Canyon.
Every family trip saying, "can we go home yet?"
Recalling discontent during family trips, wanting to go home.
Consider it a miracle I wasn't abandoned (oh shit!)
Considering it fortunate not to have been abandoned despite difficulties.
Pardon me for thinking that I still had a reason to believe that you were doing okay
Apologizing for assuming the other person was coping well.
I know that it's been rough, but tired ain't enough, and one word doesn't say anything
Recognizing that being tired isn't sufficient to convey feelings and experiences.
Hey Mr. Stoic, no emotion
Repeating the observation about Mr. Stoic's lack of emotion.
How'd you feel about the things we did today?
Repeated inquiry about Mr. Stoic's feelings regarding the day.
Hey Mr. Stoic, what's your problem?
Reiterating a question about Mr. Stoic's problem or concern.
Did you say all of the things you wanna say?
Asking if Mr. Stoic has expressed all desired thoughts.
