I Don't Get It Anymore
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Barenaked Reflections
Lyrics
I don't get it anymore,
I am confused or don't understand things as I used to.
I don't get it anymore.
Reiteration of the confusion or lack of understanding.
It's a long way down,
There is a significant distance or challenge ahead.
From the airplane cabin to the ground.
Describing the distance between an airplane and the ground.
Then my heart would pound,
Emphasizing the emotional intensity, possibly fear, during the descent.
As the earth spun round and round and round.
Feeling overwhelmed as life keeps moving in circles.
I don't get it anymore,
Repetition of not understanding, possibly referring to life in general.
I don't get it anymore.
Continued expression of confusion or lack of comprehension.
I used to be afraid,
Recalling a past state of fear and uncertainty.
Doubted each decision that I made.
Hesitation and lack of confidence in past decisions.
Whenever I went out,
Being self-conscious and feeling judged when going out.
I had a feeling I was talked about.
A sense of paranoia or insecurity about being discussed by others.
I don't get it anymore,
Repetition of not understanding, suggesting ongoing confusion.
I don't get it anymore,
Continued expression of confusion or lack of comprehension.
I don't get it anymore.
Reiteration of the ongoing state of not understanding.
I ran into a friend of mine,
Encountering someone familiar but not well-known to others.
No one you would know.
Clarifying that the person mentioned is not widely recognized.
It wasn't how the stars aligned,
Highlighting that events didn't happen as expected or predicted.
I at once was lost, she told me where to go.
Getting lost but receiving guidance from an unexpected source.
I used to get upset,
Describing a past emotional state of getting easily upset.
I would lose it every chance I'd get.
Expressing a tendency to lose control frequently.
Until you called my bluff,
Realizing that someone saw through the bravado or deception.
I had a feeling I wasn't good enough.
Feeling inadequate or not measuring up to expectations.
I don't get it anymore,
Repetition of not understanding, indicating persistent confusion.
I don't get it anymore,
Continued expression of confusion or lack of comprehension.
I don't get it anymore,
Reiteration of the ongoing state of not understanding.
I don't get it anymore.
Further emphasizing the persistent confusion or lack of comprehension.
I get aroused whenever you're around.
Expressing heightened emotions or arousal in the presence of someone.
I once was lost in her lost and found.
Recalling a past experience of being lost but finding something valuable.
I get aroused whenever you're around.
Reiterating the heightened emotions in the presence of someone.
I once was lost in her lost and found.
Recalling a past experience of being lost but finding something valuable.
