Lyrics
I am taken for
Feeling like I'm being used or consumed for someone else's schedule or priorities
Someone else's time
Feeling overlooked or not valued for my own time
Make another noise
Make a different sound or create a disturbance, possibly to get attention or disrupt the status quo
Think you're doing well
Believing you're doing fine or succeeding, despite potential issues
Pauses in your speech
Breaks or hesitations in what you're saying
Talking in your sleep
Speaking involuntarily while asleep, possibly revealing hidden thoughts or feelings
Speak when you're awake
Speak up and communicate honestly when you're conscious and aware
Watching as I crawl
Observing and feeling powerless or constrained while someone else progresses
Weigh your good goodbyes
Assessing and evaluating the quality of farewells or partings
Open up your ears
Be receptive and listen carefully
Hear the truth come in
Understanding or accepting the truth when it's presented
After the critique
Following criticism or analysis
Hypocritically
Acting in a contradictory manner, criticizing others while doing the same thing
Help when we are free
Assistance or support when there's freedom or availability
Blinded by the light
Being unable to see clearly due to intense illumination or focus
Watching as I crawl
Similar to line 8, feeling like an observer while someone progresses
Don't keep saying that you're going first
Stop claiming you're prioritizing going first
All I'm saying is that you're first in line
My point is that you're already ahead in the queue or order
Hiding under stress
Concealing oneself under pressure or strain
Trying to be your best
Striving to perform at your peak or optimum
Retracing your steps
Tracing back your actions or movements
One step at a time
Proceeding gradually, step by step
Counting your mistakes
Reflecting on and tallying up your errors or missteps
Back to where you start
Returning to the starting point after considering mistakes
Focus on the ground
Focusing attention on the immediate surroundings or on trivial matters
Watching as I crawl
Similar to previous instances, feeling like an onlooker while someone progresses
Don't keep saying that you're going first
Stop claiming priority in going first
All I'm saying is that you're first in line
Reiterating that you're already ahead in the queue or order
So don't keep saying that you're ready now
Stop insisting that you're fully prepared or equipped now
