Helpless
Emotional Turmoil Unveiled: Helpless by Crooked Teeth
Lyrics
It's been a long time
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
More like my whole life
Implying a feeling of experiencing this situation for the entirety of one's life.
Since I've felt the way that I feel tonight
Conveying a unique and intense emotion in the current moment.
My head is bursting from rehearsing
Describing mental strain and pressure from repeatedly practicing or going over something.
The lines to hide how I feel tonight
Creating a contrast between external expression and internal emotions, attempting to conceal true feelings.
You're so pretty and I'm so shitty
Acknowledging a perceived disparity in attractiveness and self-worth.
For making you feel alone tonight
Expressing regret or guilt for contributing to someone's loneliness.
I'm alone tonight
Affirming a state of solitude in the current moment.
I could fake this pain
Contemplating the option of feigning emotional pain.
Keep my thoughts at bay
Suggesting a strategy of suppressing thoughts or emotions to avoid their impact.
I could whisper all my fears
Considering the possibility of sharing fears through a quiet and private manner.
Or keep it down while you're around
Choosing to remain silent about personal struggles when in the presence of someone else.
If I fake this pain
Reiterating the idea of pretending or putting on a facade of pain.
Can I trust you or are we strangers?
Questioning the level of trust in the relationship and whether there is a sense of familiarity or distance.
Both terrified of the same routine
Highlighting shared fears and anxieties that both individuals are avoiding.
Should I slow down? Should I go now?
Pondering the decision to either slow down and reconsider or proceed with a particular course of action.
Tell me everything you're afraid to speak
Requesting open communication about fears and concerns that one is hesitant to express.
I'm afraid to speak
Admitting a personal struggle with verbal expression and communication.
All I ever do is lie awake and smoke inside this room
Describing a pattern of insomnia and self-destructive behavior, possibly linked to feelings of helplessness.
Sink into this tomb when I feel helpless
Metaphorically expressing a sense of despair or powerlessness.
