Descent into Self-Doubt: Struggles of Inner Turmoil
Lyrics
Trying not to get my hopes up
Expressing caution and reluctance in raising expectations.
'Cause I'm bound to get let down again
Anticipating disappointment due to past experiences of being let down.
And lately I've been feeling so stuck
Feeling emotionally stagnant or trapped in a situation.
Wonder when I'll be the one who moves ahead
Questioning when personal progress or success will occur.
Anxiety gets the best of me
Struggling with anxiety, possibly resorting to medication and therapy.
Between the pills and therapy I'm spent
Expressing exhaustion from efforts to address mental health issues.
I hope that I can find some clarity
Seeking clarity or understanding in order to avoid a negative outcome.
Before I start to fall in this descent
Expressing a desire to find clarity before descending into a difficult situation.
So if you were to up and leave
Open to the idea of understanding if someone chooses to leave.
I would understand
Acceptance of the possibility of separation.
Wish I wasn't so afraid
Expressing fear of making even a small mistake.
Of making one little mistake I don't expect
Not expecting perfection but fearing the consequences of errors.
My mind is rotted and decayed
Indicating mental deterioration and decay.
From all the days that I spent in this disconnect
Feeling disconnected from reality due to accumulated negative experiences.
The life you see inside your screens
Highlighting the disparity between online presentation and real-life experiences.
Is not the same behind the scenes
Contrasting the public image with personal struggles.
In fact
Acknowledging being a nervous wreck with selfish tendencies.
(I'm such a nervous wreck with nothing left but selfishness)
Emphasizing the impact of anxiety and selfishness on the speaker.
The way that I have been perceived is
Rejecting the way others perceive the speaker.
Something that I'm starting to reject
Admitting the internal struggle against negative perceptions.
(But it's starting to conquer me)
Recognizing the internal conflict becoming overpowering.
If you were to up and leave
Reiterating understanding if someone decides to leave.
I would understand
Accepting the potential consequences of separation.
I'm not begging for sympathy
Clarifying not seeking pity but wanting understanding of the speaker's character.
Just need you to know the kind of person that I am
Expressing the need for others to know the speaker's true self.
We're drowning in the silence
Describing a sense of isolation and lack of communication.
There's no point to me confiding
Feeling that sharing thoughts and feelings has no purpose.
As I watch you leave and make up an excuse
Observing someone leaving with a fabricated excuse.
This conversation was one-sided
Noting a one-sided conversation and lack of engagement.
But I don't really mind it
Expressing indifference to the one-sided nature of the interaction.
As you walk away and fade out of view
Watching someone walk away and fade out of view.
Trying not to get my hopes up
Repeating the theme of avoiding high hopes to prevent disappointment.
'Cause I'm bound to get let down again
Anticipating potential letdowns and feeling emotionally stuck.
And lately I've been feeling so stuck
Expressing a desire to overcome feeling stuck and move forward.
Wonder when I'll be the one who moves ahead
Questioning when personal progress or success will happen.
