Lyrics
For a while, I convinced myself asleep
Temporary self-deception, pretending to be asleep to avoid confronting reality.
And in time, I rebuilt my self esteem
Over time, rebuilding self-esteem after a challenging period.
Living life, thinking they were all like me
Living with the assumption that others share similar experiences or emotions.
But I woke up, turns out it was all a dream
Realization that previous beliefs were illusions, awakening from a dream-like state.
And in my face, people scream their empathies
Encountering insincere expressions of empathy from people.
Hey you're okay
Assurance that the listener is okay despite challenges.
You're not insane
Reassurance that the listener is not insane.
It's just the voices pulling you back in
Acknowledgment of inner struggles represented by "voices" trying to pull one back into difficulties.
We're all this way
Asserting that everyone experiences challenges and struggles.
Blinded dismay
Feeling lost or confused, possibly due to a lack of understanding or clarity.
Counting the moments where we all fit in
Reflecting on shared moments of fitting in with others.
It's so strange, (it's so strange) going back to where came
Expressing the strangeness of returning to one's origin or past.
People change, (people change) but they've always been the same
Observation that people may change superficially but retain fundamental characteristics.
Hiding pain, (hiding pain) just so they can play this game
Concealing emotional pain to participate in societal norms or games.
Here's my face, (here's my face) here's my fake reality
Presenting a facade or false reality to the world.
And all around, I just preach my sympathy
Engaging in superficial empathy without genuine connection.
Hey you're okay
Reiteration of reassurance regarding mental stability.
You're not insane
Reaffirmation that the listener is not insane despite external influences.
It's just the voices pulling you back in
Recognition of the internal struggles represented by "voices."
We're all this way
Assertion that shared challenges are part of the human experience.
Blinded dismay
Feeling disheartened or confused, unable to see clearly.
Counting the moments where we all fit in
Reflecting on shared moments of fitting in with others.
Tell me I'm okay
Seeking external validation of well-being.
(You're fine, You're fine)
External reassurance emphasizing normality.
Say I'm not insane
Expressing a desire to be acknowledged as mentally stable.
(You're fine, You're fine)
Reiteration of the plea for external validation.
Please say I'm okay
Continued seeking of external affirmation.
(You're fine, You're fine)
Reiteration of the desire for external validation, now questioning one's sanity.
I Think that I'm insane
Internal doubt about one's mental state.
(It's fine, it's fine)
External reassurance that doubting one's sanity is acceptable.
Hey you're okay
Reassurance regarding mental stability and overcoming internal struggles.
You're not insane
Affirmation that the listener is not insane despite external challenges.
It's just the voices pulling you back in
Recognition of inner challenges represented by "voices" trying to pull one back.
We're all this way
Emphasizing the universality of facing challenges.
Blinded dismay
Feeling disheartened or confused, unable to see clearly.
Counting the moments where we all fit in
Reflecting on shared moments of fitting in with others.
Hey you're okay (you're fine)
Reiteration of reassurance, emphasizing normality.
You're not insane (you're fine)
Reaffirmation that the listener is not insane despite external influences.
It's just the voices pulling you back in
Recognition of internal struggles represented by "voices."
We're all this way (you're fine)
Acknowledgment that everyone faces similar challenges.
Blinded dismay (you're fine)
Feeling disheartened or confused, unable to see clearly.
Counting moments where we all fit in
Reflecting on shared moments of fitting in with others.
