play pretend with me
Play Pretend: Finding Solace Amidst Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Hey again
Addressing someone again.
From Oregon or New York City
Referencing locations, either Oregon or New York City.
Well I'm
Engaging in a facade or make-believe.
Playing pretend
Acting as if running away and not being missed.
That I run away and you don't miss me
Continuing the pretense of absence.
Well I'm
Overzealous
Experiencing excessive enthusiasm.
And uninspired
Feeling lacking in inspiration.
And underachieved
Having not achieved up to potential or expectation.
Through all the restlessness I finally found the space to breathe here
Amid restlessness, finding space to breathe.
And I know
Awareness of a personal transformation or change.
This ego death is crawling out my soul
Feeling a significant shift or change in self-perception.
Just hoping that you'll forgive me
Hoping for forgiveness from someone.
But I'm gonna start feeling lost here
Anticipating a sense of being lost.
I worried I'll be stuck here but
Fearing getting stuck in a certain situation.
I'm on my way I guess
Expressing progress, albeit uncertain.
I'm questioning all of my love here
Questioning one's capacity for love.
Don't know if I belong here but
Feeling uncertain about belonging.
I'll find a way through this
Determined to find a way forward despite uncertainty.
So just go, go (get the fuck out of here)
Urging someone to leave abruptly.
Go and say you won't forget me
Asking for assurance of not being forgotten.
My body turns into a graveyard
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted.
You can leave all your love behind for me and I'm
Requesting to leave behind emotions or attachments.
Overwhelmed
Overwhelmed emotionally.
Tired of writing
Fatigued from creative endeavors.
I'm out of my mind again
Feeling mentally unstable.
I watch in the start
Observing a beginning or start.
Hoping to find the limelight we used to shed on all I know
Desiring to rediscover past success or attention.
This ego death is crawling out my soul
Similar to earlier realization of transformation.
I promise that you'll forgive me
Reaffirming hope for forgiveness.
But I'm gonna start feeling lost here
Sensing an imminent feeling of being lost.
I'm worried I'll get stuck here but
Fearing the possibility of being trapped.
I'm on my way I guess
Continuing uncertain progress.
I'm questioning all of my love here
Questioning one's capability to love.
Don't know if I belong here but
Uncertain about fitting in.
I'll find a way through this and
Determined to navigate through uncertainties.
Ohh
This ego death is walking out the door
Continuing to acknowledge personal change.
I'm hoping that you'll indulge me
Hoping for indulgence or understanding.
Cause I'm gonna start feeling lost here
Expecting to feel lost.
I'm worried I'll get stuck here but
Fearing being trapped.
I'm on my way I guess
Continuing uncertain progress.
I'm losing in all of my lust here
Feeling defeated in desires or passions.
It's gonna be a long year but
Anticipating a challenging year ahead.
Play pretend with me
Requesting to engage in make-believe or pretend.
