Lyrics

Fuck it I'm afraid of everything

Fearful of everything, expressing a sense of dread or anxiety.

I'm such a fake

Feeling like a fraud or not genuine in one's identity.

I'm such a fake

Reiterating a sense of being fake or not true to oneself.

I see my shadow and I flinch

Reacting nervously to one's own shadow, possibly symbolizing internal struggles.

Like it's the end of everything

Reacting dramatically to a perceived threat or crisis.

My heart grew legs

Metaphorical expression suggesting intense emotional turmoil.

It's trying to escape my chest

Describing a sensation of inner turmoil manifesting physically.

The doctor tried to give me meds

Refers to a medical professional attempting to prescribe medication.

But they just make me fuckin sick

Expressing negative side effects or aversion to prescribed medication.

Eyes wide open 6AM

Being awake early in the morning, possibly indicating insomnia or anxiety.

I see the end

Perceiving an imminent end or conclusion.

I see the end

Repeating the anticipation of an approaching end.

Perform a ritual that no one knows inside my head

Engaging in a private or personal ritual not shared with others.

I used to love to be alone

Previously enjoyed solitude, but now feeling overwhelmed by thoughts.

But now my thoughts control the room

Thoughts dominating the internal space and impacting emotions.

'Death by rumination' on my tombstone

Describing a potential cause of death as excessive contemplation.

On my tombstone

Reiterating the idea of mental struggles leading to potential demise.

My heart grew legs

Repetition of the metaphorical heart with legs, emphasizing inner unrest.

It's trying to escape my chest

Continuing the description of inner turmoil.

I looked up 'Can you think yourself to death?'

Searching for information on the possibility of thinking oneself to death.

And it said 'yes'

Confirmation that excessive thinking can lead to self-destructive consequences.

I'm crying now

Expressing emotional distress through tears.

I don't feel safe anywhere

Feeling unsafe in any environment, highlighting emotional vulnerability.

Even when I'm in my home alone

Even in the safety of home, there's a sense of insecurity.

My own mind might be the death of me

Fear that one's own thoughts could lead to personal demise.

And I can't tell anyone

Isolation in personal struggles, unable to confide in anyone.
