Lyrics
This time it's not the planet's fault
This time, external circumstances are not to blame.
This time it's yours this time it's yours
Emphasis on personal responsibility; it's your fault this time.
You are the one that's spinning round
You are the one experiencing confusion or turmoil.
You are the one you are the one
Reiteration of personal involvement and significance.
Stories you know that don't go on
Reference to unresolved or lingering narratives.
Stories you know stories you know
Repetition of the persistence of these narratives.
False hope is what makes you hold on
False hope is a driving force in holding onto something.
Won't last so long won't last so long
Recognition that false hope is temporary and won't endure.
Leave it alone
Advice to leave a situation untouched or undisturbed.
Don't go running
Warning against revisiting past emotional pain.
Back to the days you were crying
Discouragement from returning to a previous state of distress.
Lying on the bed
Physical position of lying down, perhaps in contemplation.
Dreaming of the nightmare
Imagining a troubling scenario or situation.
That you were fighting
Recollection of a past internal struggle.
Call this a retro
Labeling the current situation as a throwback or nostalgia.
That's a detour
Characterizing it as a deviation from the usual path.
Hurting yourself
Suggesting self-inflicted pain or harm.
That's all that's all
Emphasis on the self-destructive nature of the actions.
Call this a retro
Reiteration of the retro or nostalgic aspect.
That's a detour
Confirming it as a diversion from the usual route.
Nothing will change
Assertion that nothing substantial will change.
It won't work so
Expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of the approach.
Don't turn back no
Advising against looking back or revisiting the past.
Call this a retro
Reiteration of the retro theme.
That's a detour
Confirmation of deviation from the usual path.
Hurting yourself
Highlighting the self-destructive nature once again.
That's all that's all
Emphasis on the self-harming aspect.
