Button Up
Unveiling the Hidden Struggles: 'Button Up' by Cape Francis
Lyrics
Button up
Feeling the need to close up emotionally or physically.
Suit and tie
Conforming to societal expectations, possibly in a job or formal setting.
Go work everyday
Engaging in the routine of going to work regularly.
In disguise
Putting on a facade or hiding one's true self.
Wonder how
Reflecting on past aspirations that never came to fruition.
All my dead dreams died
Contemplating the demise of personal dreams or ambitions.
Fall asleep at the wheel
Experiencing a sense of detachment or numbness while navigating life's challenges.
While you drive
Being careless or disengaged, potentially risking negative consequences.
If I'm not with you
Expressing a dependency on the presence of a significant other.
I'm on borrowed time
Feeling like time is limited or running out when not in the company of a loved one.
I get so tired of myself
Expressing fatigue or frustration with one's own behavior or personality.
Say I'm not anyone
Questioning one's identity and significance in the absence of external validation.
Than who the hell am I?
Expressing existential doubt and a search for self-definition.
You said
Recalling advice or reassurance from someone else.
It doesn't get much easier
Acknowledging that life's challenges may not become easier.
Don't look down
Advising against looking at difficulties or obstacles.
Trapped in red hypnosis
Feeling trapped or captivated by intense emotions or situations.
Blurred out dotted lines
Experiencing a distorted or unclear perception of one's path in life.
If I fade away
Expressing a fear of fading into obscurity or insignificance.
Promise you will wake me up
Seeking reassurance that someone will bring back a sense of awareness or purpose.
And keep my hand
Desiring stability and support in the face of uncertainty.
Steady as a mountain rock
Symbolizing the need for a constant and unwavering presence.
If I'm not with you
Reiterating a sense of dependence on a significant other for meaning or purpose.
I'm on borrowed time
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of time without the company of a loved one.
I get so tired of myself
Expressing weariness or dissatisfaction with one's own identity.
Say I'm not anyone
Questioning personal significance in the absence of external validation.
Than who the hell am I?
Reiterating the existential search for self-definition and purpose.
