Lyrics
I don’t get close
I avoid getting emotionally close to others.
The people all around me feel like ghosts
People around me seem distant and unconnected, like ghosts.
And all their little words follow me home
Words from others linger in my mind and affect me at home.
Now I can’t fall asleep and I’m alone
My inability to sleep is a result of feeling isolated.
Yeah I’m alone
Emphasizing the sense of loneliness.
At night
Referencing nighttime, a common time for introspection.
I wish I was someone that people liked
Desire to be liked by others but feeling unnoticed.
But I feel like I’m unseen and out of sight
Feeling unseen and out of others' awareness.
And I couldn’t make em see me if I try
Despite efforts, I can't make others understand me.
But I still try
Persistent attempts to be acknowledged.
I wanna die
Expressing a desire for escape or relief.
Don’t know if I can make it through the night
Doubt about the ability to endure the night.
Is it in my mind?
Questioning the validity of feelings.
Why can’t I just let it go?
Struggling to let go of thoughts or issues.
Oh I’m just a troubled young soul
Identifying oneself as a troubled young soul.
All cooped up with nowhere to go
Feeling confined and directionless.
Oh I dug myself in this hole
Acknowledging personal responsibility for challenges.
Everybody’s out to get me and
Perceiving external hostility or opposition.
I am just a troubled young soul
Reiteration of being a troubled young soul.
I can’t find peace
Struggling to find inner calm or resolution.
When I’m with my friends I want to leave
Feeling uncomfortable or restless in social situations.
I start to feel my heart fill up with heat
Experiencing heightened emotions in social settings.
Every single eye looking at me
Feeling scrutinized by others.
I’m panicking
Experiencing anxiety or fear.
I wanna fight
Expressing a desire to confront challenges.
But I know my chance is better if I lie
Considering deception for self-preservation.
Or find a place to hide
Seeking refuge or escape from others.
From everybody that I know
Desire to distance oneself from familiar surroundings.
Oh I’m just a troubled young soul
Reiteration of being a troubled young soul.
All cooped up with nowhere to go
Feeling confined and directionless (repeated).
Oh I dug myself in this hole
Acknowledging personal responsibility for challenges (repeated).
Everybody’s out to get me and
Reiteration of external hostility or opposition.
I am just a troubled young soul
Reiteration of being a troubled young soul.
I gotta fight
Affirmation of the determination to confront challenges.
I’m troubled but I’ll make it through the night
Despite being troubled, expressing hope for survival.
If I close my eyes
Considering closing off emotions as a coping mechanism.
Can I try to let it go?
Attempting to let go of burdens or concerns.
Oh I’m just a troubled young soul
Reiteration of being a troubled young soul.
All cooped up with nowhere to go
Feeling confined and directionless (repeated).
Oh I dug myself in this hole
Acknowledging personal responsibility for challenges (repeated).
Everybody’s out to get me and
Reiteration of external hostility or opposition.
I am just a troubled young soul
Reiteration of being a troubled young soul.
