Better Now
Understanding Emotional Turmoil Through "Better Now" by Celler Dwellers
Lyrics
Maybe I'd waste away the day for you
Expressing a willingness to spend time exclusively for someone.
Waiting for the things that you would say but never do
Waiting for expected words from the person, which are never spoken.
Maybe I'm too afraid of my own words that I won't say
Admitting fear of expressing personal thoughts and feelings.
Baby I'm sorry but you should find another way
Apologizing but suggesting finding an alternative solution or path.
I wanted to feel better now but now I can't complain
Expressing a desire to feel better but acknowledging the inability to complain.
The hardships that you'd soon forget have seeped into my brain
Referencing lingering difficulties that were supposed to be forgotten.
I wanted to feel better now I'm better off alone
Expressing a preference for solitude despite the desire to feel better.
The hardships that you'd soon forget have seeped into my bones
Reiterating the impact of past difficulties on one's well-being.
When you try to touch me baby
Acknowledging a physical reaction to attempts at intimacy.
I just get a shot of relief
Describing a sense of relief when avoiding physical contact.
Maybe it is just who I am and I'd say I'd do better but I promise I can't
Accepting personal limitations and the inability to promise improvement.
I wanted to get better now but now I can't explain
Expressing a desire for improvement but an inability to explain the current state.
The hardships that you'd soon forget have seeped into my veins
Reiterating the lasting impact of past difficulties on one's inner self.
I wanted to get better now I'm better off alone
Choosing solitude despite the desire to get better.
I'm sorry maybe I am right where I belong
Apologizing and suggesting acceptance of one's current situation.
I wanted to feel better now but now I can't complain
Expressing a desire for improvement but acknowledging the inability to complain.
The hardships that you'd soon forget have seeped into my brain
Repeating the impact of past difficulties on mental well-being.
I wanted to feel better now I'm better off alone
Choosing solitude despite the desire to feel better.
The hardships that you'd soon forget have seeped into my bones
Reiterating the lasting impact of past difficulties on one's physical self.
When you try and touch me baby
Describing a physical reaction to attempts at intimacy.
I just get a shot of relief
Describing relief when avoiding physical contact.
If your sick and tired of answering baby
Suggesting frustration with repetitive questioning or demands.
Then maybe you got the best of me
Acknowledging that the person may have influenced or affected the speaker deeply.
