Lyrics

Get a load of this monster

Addressing a problematic aspect or person, possibly indicating self-reflection.

He doesn't know how to communicate

Expressing difficulty in expressing oneself or communicating effectively.

His mind is in a different place

Feeling disconnected or mentally distant from others.

Will everybody please give him a

Request for space or privacy for the mentioned individual.

Little bit of space?

Reiteration of the need for personal space or distance.


I haven't got a lot of friends anymore

Feeling a lack of close friendships currently.

And my head still says I have none at all

Believing there are no friends present despite possible contrary thoughts.

But I don't mind if I'm a little bit alone

Acceptance of solitude to some extent if there are personal belongings or interests.

As long as I've got things to call my own

Content with having possessions or hobbies even when alone.

And I don't mind if you

Not bothered if someone finds a better companion.

Find someone better than me

Acceptance of the possibility that someone might find a better person than the speaker.

'Cause I just need you to be

Emphasizing the importance of the other person's happiness.

As happy as you can be

Desire for the other person to be as happy as possible.


And now I'm shaking too much

Repetition emphasizing extreme nervousness or anxiety.

And now I'm shaking too much

-

And now I'm shaking too much

-

And now I'm shaking too much

-

Get a load of this man without a plan

Introducing another troubled individual without a clear direction.

He doesn't wanna go to school but

Reluctance towards attending school but not wanting to disappoint a parental figure.

Doesn't wanna upset his dad just

Conflict between personal desires and familial expectations.

Get out of bed, it's not that easy

Highlighting the difficulty in getting out of bed due to mental or physical distress.

When your throat goes cold and

Physical sensations of discomfort or anxiety, indicating stress.

Your arms feel queasy

-

Been in this state for one too many days

Extended duration of feeling distressed or troubled.

And everyone I love is so many miles away

Feeling distant from loved ones due to physical distance.

Snap out of this

An urge to break out of the mentioned state or situation.

'Cause you're so much better than this, boy

Encouragement to rise above the current state, implying the person is capable of better.


And now I'm shaking too much

Repetition indicating continued intense shaking or nervousness.

Of course I'm shaking too much

-

And now I'm shaking too much

-

Of course I'm shaking too much
