Narcissus
Navigating Narcissism: A Melodic Confession
Lyrics
The day that I knew, I wasn't an artist
The realization of not being a genuine artist.
Just another drunk who could play a guitar
Feeling like just another intoxicated person with musical skills.
Brought it to light, how I say that I'm honest
Acknowledging a claim of honesty, though actions may not align.
But I've never done a single thing from the heart
Admitting a lack of sincere, heartfelt actions in the past.
But I can try to show you how I let you down
Expressing an attempt to illustrate how one has disappointed others.
Oh and it's harder, it's harder now
Highlighting the increased difficulty of staying positive.
To stay so up, when I break you down
Struggling to maintain a positive attitude while breaking down emotionally.
Oh and it's my fault, my fault now
Taking responsibility for the emotional breakdown.
I didn't plan to become narcissistic
Unexpectedly becoming self-centered and insincere.
And never mean a single word that I said
Admitting insincerity and a lack of commitment to spoken words.
But I guess when I poison myself 'til I get sick
Poisoning oneself metaphorically, leading to confusion between reality and imagination.
It's hard to tell what's real and what's in my head
Difficulty discerning between reality and thoughts due to self-destructive behavior.
But I can try to show you how I let you down
Attempting to explain the impact of personal failures on others.
Oh and it's harder, it's harder now
Acknowledging the increased difficulty of maintaining a positive outlook.
To stay so up, when I break you down
Struggling to stay positive while emotionally breaking down.
Oh and it's my fault, my fault now
Accepting personal responsibility for the emotional breakdown.
Wish I could fall apart, get up and start again
Expressing a desire to fall apart and restart, seeking a fresh beginning.
It's hard to find a purpose, that I really believe in
Difficulty in finding a meaningful purpose that is truly believed in.
I've spent so long just wishing to myself
Longing for change and improvement in isolation.
Nothing wrong being a little narcissistic
Suggesting that being somewhat narcissistic may not be entirely negative.
But I can try to show you how I let you down
Reiterating the attempt to illustrate personal shortcomings to others.
Oh and it's harder, it's harder now
Emphasizing the increased difficulty of maintaining a positive mindset.
To stay so up, when I break you down
Struggling to stay positive while experiencing emotional breakdown.
Oh and it's my fault, my fault now
Taking responsibility for the emotional breakdown.
