Lyrics
Feel like I got ice in my veins
Feels emotionally numb or distant, lacking warmth and sensitivity
I can't even complain
Unable to express dissatisfaction despite difficulties
I've been living better still
Life has improved, yet it's peculiar or unusual
Tho' it's strange
Despite improvements, there's an odd feeling or situation
The world is so uninviting, I know
The world appears unwelcoming or inhospitable
'Cause most the time your riding alone (O oh)
Most of the time, one feels alone or unsupported
Zoobie to my lips
Reference to smoking marijuana (Zoobie)
I've been putting in a shift
Working hard or making an effort
Gave her woodie in the Ritz to
Engaged in intimate activity in an upscale hotel
Check my feelings still exist
Ensuring one's emotions still have significance
'Cause I ain't felt myself in ages
Not feeling like oneself for a long time
You ask me why, it's complicated
Reasons for not feeling oneself are complex and difficult to explain
Still having these money conversations
Continuing discussions or concerns about money
And she been talking crazy on the telephone
Someone close is speaking irrationally on the phone
But I know she would rather be
Knowing someone prefers company over being alone
Here than be left alone
Preference for companionship rather than solitude
Got so many decisions that are ahead of me
Facing numerous important choices or dilemmas
But, I'm honestly really just
Despite choices, focused on self-improvement
Trying to better me and I feel like
Feeling that everyone tries to harm or mistreat
That everybody in this world try
Sense of alienation and feeling emotionally chilly
To do me wrong and I feeling really cold so
Songwriting as an outlet for emotional coldness and isolation
I wrote this song
Using music to express emotional detachment
I got everybody with me but I feel alone
Surrounded by people but feeling isolated or alone
I keep going round and round in these circles
Feeling stuck or repeating the same patterns
And I wonder when I'm ever gon' change
Questioning when change will happen
Sometimes I just can't be sure of my purpose
Uncertainty about personal goals or life's purpose
And I feel like I got ice in my veins
Continuing to feel emotionally detached or numb
I'm cold hearted I'm trying I swear
Acknowledging being emotionally distant but trying to change
If I told you that I'm fine, I was lying (Oh)
Admitting to not being fine despite claims
And I wonder if they really care about me
Questioning the sincerity of others' concern for oneself
'Cause I feel like I got ice in my veins
Reaffirmation of feeling emotionally numb or detached
