Lyrics
I don't wanna be the one to tell you girl
I don't want to be the one to deliver difficult news to you, girl.
It's all around you
The issue or problem is pervasive and all-encompassing.
It's like you're living underground
It feels like you are living in a hidden or secretive manner.
I can see you're holding me accountable
I can see that you're making me responsible or answerable for something.
Oh it's inside you
The problem is internal, within you.
Try and find it too
Encouraging you to search for the issue within yourself.
I was going North, quite far
Describing a journey north, possibly a metaphorical exploration.
Took a drive 5 hours, thoughts for the car
Took a long drive with time for introspective thoughts.
Share them with the world when I'm ready
Will share thoughts with the world when ready.
Heavy rain on the tele
Reference to heavy rain affecting television reception, possibly a metaphor.
And I'm shaky when I lift up my arms
Feeling shaky and vulnerable.
Ain't nobody gonna look up my name
No one will recognize or acknowledge my name.
Piece of paper with a doodle on, tiny hurricane
A doodle on a piece of paper, possibly a metaphor for a minor disturbance.
I'm away cause a big alarm went off
Being away due to a significant alarm or warning.
Please explain
Requesting an explanation for the alarm or warning.
Mom and Dad call a doc
Parents call a doctor, indicating concern for well-being.
Something ain't right
An acknowledgment that something is not right.
I don't wanna be the one to tell you girl
Reiteration of not wanting to convey difficult news.
It's all around you
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of the issue.
It's like you're living underground
Expressing a sense of living in secrecy or hidden conditions.
I can see you're holding me accountable
Recognition that accountability lies with the listener.
Oh it's inside you
Internal issues that need to be identified and addressed.
Try and find it too
Encouragement to introspect and find the internal problem.
I made no sense on the dinner call
Admitting to not making sense in a conversation.
But you type my name when you're going home
Acknowledging being on someone's mind during their journey home.
No snow in the cold war
A reference to a lack of conflict during the Cold War.
Wouldn't breathe now, take a breath for a stone wall
Avoiding conflict or confrontation, even in difficult situations.
We didn't say everything is well
Not stating that everything is fine, hinting at underlying issues.
That's cause we knew that we couldn't tell
Awareness that certain things cannot be communicated.
Is it thing?
Possibly questioning the reality of a situation.
When will I know?
Expressing uncertainty about understanding a situation.
What happened to me?
Pondering about personal experiences and changes.
Don't think I'm missing a beat ya
Asserting not missing a beat, staying vigilant or aware.
I don't wanna be the one to tell you girl
Reiteration of not wanting to deliver challenging news.
It's all around you
Re-emphasizing the pervasive nature of the problem.
It's like you're living underground
Continuation of the metaphor of living in secrecy or hidden conditions.
I can see you're holding me accountable
Confirmation that the listener is responsible for the issue.
Oh it's inside you
Internal issues that need to be acknowledged and resolved.
Try and find it too
Encouraging introspection to identify and address the internal problem.
