Back to Normal
Lost in Longing: A Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
I’m stuck in a loop
I feel trapped in a repetitive cycle
Don’t know what do
I'm uncertain about what actions to take
Tryna get over you
Attempting to move on from a past relationship
But I’m having a hard time
Struggling to overcome emotional challenges
I smell your perfume
Sensory reminders of the person I'm trying to forget
When you’re not in the room
A lingering presence even when physically absent
Yeah you got me consumed
Feeling deeply affected and preoccupied by thoughts of someone
I just can’t play my cards right
Difficulty making the right decisions in this emotional situation
Oh please
An emotional plea for distance and separation
Just stay away
Requesting the person to stay away for emotional well-being
‘Cause even hopes of me and you together’s just enough to drive me insane
The mere possibility of being together causing distress
And now
Reflection on the current state of separation
We’re miles apart
Physical distance despite emotional closeness
But I can’t get you off my mind I can’t stop seeing your face in the stars
Unable to forget the person, their presence felt even in the stars
Oh I just hoped my dreams would go back to normal
Wishing for a return to a normal, less emotionally charged state
No more fantasies
Desire to let go of unrealistic fantasies
Yeah I can’t move you got me trapped in a corner
Feeling emotionally paralyzed and unable to move forward
I’m losing my sanity
Experiencing a decline in mental stability
I wish you were mean to me
Desiring a less idealized view of the person
Then I could find all of your flaws baby that’s what I need to see
Seeking imperfections to facilitate moving on
I’m missing the scenery
Nostalgia for the past and the emotional comfort it brought
‘Cause I can’t get over how loving you feels like a breeze to me
The emotional experience of loving the person is cherished
Oh please
Reiteration of the plea for distance and separation
Just stay away
Reemphasizing the need for emotional space
‘Cause even hopes of me and you together’s just enough to drive me insane
The potential of being together causing mental distress
And now
Reflecting on the continued emotional separation
We’re miles apart
Physical distance persists despite mental preoccupation
But I can’t get you off my mind I can’t stop seeing your face in the stars
Unable to erase the person from thoughts, their presence in the stars
Oh I just hoped my dreams would go back to normal
Expressing a desire for a return to a normal emotional state
No more fantasies
Rejecting unrealistic and fantastical thoughts
Yeah I can’t move you got me trapped in a corner
Feeling emotionally restricted and unable to move forward
I’m losing my sanity
Continued decline in mental stability
Oh I just hoped my dreams would go back to normal
Repeating the desire for a return to emotional normalcy
No more fantasies
Rejecting unrealistic thoughts and desires
Yeah I can’t move you got me trapped in a corner
Feeling emotionally paralyzed and trapped
I’m losing my sanity
Further deterioration of mental stability
