Route 9
Driving Through Despair: Route 9 Reflections
Lyrics
Funny that I fall apart
Experiencing a sense of crumbling or losing control
When I streamline route 9 with my car
Feeling a semblance of control while driving on Route 9
I scream insomnia won't keep me up
Expressing a struggle with insomnia
But when morning comes I'm
Struggling when faced with the morning
Almost out of steam
Running low on energy or motivation
I hold on to all my vices while
Clutching onto personal indulgences during inner turmoil
My head is in a crisis
Dealing with a crisis while emotionally distressed
I hurt my feet, and I dot my T's
Being meticulous and completing tasks
And I clean my room like twice a year
Infrequent cleaning habits due to distress
When I'm breaking down
Struggling emotionally
I'm a sex machine in my dreams
Escaping through vivid dreams
Ooh, please, don't ever leave
Begging someone not to leave
I said please, don't ever leave
Repeated plea for someone's presence
Oh, oh, ooh, oh please, don't ever leave
Desperate request for someone to stay
I said please, don't ever leave
Continued plea for someone not to depart
I drive by Lincoln Avenue
Passing by a location linked to emotional distress
When I feel down just to look at you
Seeking solace or comfort by observing surroundings
I know that it's strange
Admitting to the peculiarity of actions or feelings
And when the light comes
Feeling a sense of enlightenment or clarity
Shining through the sky
Sensations coursing through the body
I felt it coursing through my veins
Changing direction or aspect of life
I switch lanes
Switching focus or direction
I don’t listen to the voices in my head
Ignoring inner conflicts or thoughts
I'm going Mach 1 on route 9
Speeding through life on Route 9
And I cleaned my room for the second time
Repeating a cleaning task, indicative of anxiety or distraction
This year, you asked me how
Responding to inquiries with a false statement about well-being
I was, "I'm fine", i lied
Lying about emotional state
Ooh, please, don't ever leave
Urgent plea for someone not to leave
I said please, don't ever leave
Reiterated request for someone's continued presence
Funny that I fall apart (Please don't)
Reiteration of feeling disintegration in the face of control
When I streamline route 9 with my car
Repeating the sense of control while driving on Route 9
I scream (Ever leave)
Repeated struggle with insomnia and the request for someone to stay
Insomnia won't keep me up (Please don't)
Insomnia's ineffectiveness in maintaining wakefulness
But when morning comes I'm
Struggling with energy depletion in the morning
Almost out of steam (Ever leave)
Nearing exhaustion or running out of steam
I hold on to all my vices while
Clutching onto personal indulgences amid crisis
My head is in a crisis (Please, don't ever)
Enduring a crisis while coping with vices
I hurt my feet, and I dot my T's (Leave)
Being meticulous and completing tasks despite distress
And I clean my room like twice a year
Infrequent cleaning habits during emotional breakdowns
(Please don't) when I'm breaking down (Ever)
Requesting someone's presence during personal turmoil
I'm a sex machine in my dreams (Leave)
Escaping reality through dreams
