Lyrics
Oh you and yourself
Expressing a connection or relationship between the speaker and someone else.
Oh me and myself
Highlighting a connection between the speaker and themselves, possibly introspective.
Oh my mental health
Reflecting on the state of the speaker's mental well-being.
Oh I'm somewhere else
Suggesting a sense of detachment or escapism from the current situation or reality.
So you don't have needs
Implies the listener doesn't have needs or dependence.
So you don't need me
Expressing the speaker's perception of not being needed.
Do you mind if I bleed
Raising the question of whether the speaker's emotional pain is acknowledged.
All over these white sheets
Symbolizing emotional pain or turmoil with bleeding onto white sheets.
Take a drag from your cigarette
Describing a physical action, possibly seeking a shared experience.
Breath the smoke in my face like I wanted it
Desire for intimacy, using cigarette smoke as a metaphor.
Talk to me like a therapist
Requesting a conversation resembling therapy, indicating a need for emotional support.
Confidentially confided in
Emphasizing the trust and confidentiality desired in the conversation.
Wish we weren't so tired all the time
Expressing a shared feeling of exhaustion or weariness.
Finally do those things we dream about
Yearning for the fulfillment of aspirations and dreams.
Wish I didn't have to leave it all behind
Sadness at leaving behind meaningful experiences or connections.
Every couple years the rain will turn to drought
Metaphor for the cyclical nature of challenges and hardships.
Oh how I
Expressing admiration for the listener's eyes.
Love your glassy eyes
Continuation of admiration, appreciating the listener's smile.
And the way you smile
Comparing the listener's smile to that of a child, possibly implying innocence or purity.
Like a little child
Expressing significant emotional needs from the relationship.
I need so much
Acknowledging that the listener may not be sufficient to fulfill all the speaker's needs.
You'll never be enough
Highlighting the listener's ability to divert their mind from the speaker and other concerns.
The way you keep your mind off
Suggesting a sense of emotional distance or distraction.
Me and all that other stuff
Implying the listener's focus on themselves and unrelated matters.
Take a drag from your cigarette
Repetition of earlier lines, possibly indicating a cycle or persistent desire for connection.
Breath the smoke in my face like I wanted it
Reiteration of the desire for intimacy and shared experiences.
Talk to me like a therapist
Repetition of the therapeutic conversation theme, underscoring its importance.
