Lyrics
I'm sick to my stomach
I'm experiencing intense distress or anxiety.
Think now that I've done it
Reflecting on past actions, possibly with regret.
I can do it again
Confidence in the ability to repeat previous actions.
I took those words from a friend
Quoting words obtained from a friend.
But nothing is helping
Despite efforts, no solution or relief is found.
And panic is creeping
Feelings of panic are gradually increasing.
Up on me in my bed
Experiencing anxiety in bed, a vulnerable state.
Don't let it get to my head
Expressing the desire to maintain composure.
You drag me to the show
Being brought to an event or performance.
The kids up there they know
Awareness of the audience's awareness of the speaker.
Life on a microscope slide
Life being examined closely, possibly under scrutiny.
Body small and wound up tight
Feeling confined and tense, like a tightly wound spring.
I wait 'til you've left
Waiting until others are gone to find relief.
Finally take a breath
Finally allowing oneself to breathe.
It's not deep, just to see
The act of breathing is not profound, just a test.
If my promise is one to keep
Questioning the reliability of one's promises.
You see I'm somewhere here inside
Indicating internal struggle and withdrawal from light.
Crouched away from all the light
Remaining hidden from external scrutiny.
I'm still going blind
Despite challenges, the speaker is still losing clarity.
If I seem to run away and hide
If appearing distant, it's an attempt to protect.
Please know that I really tried
An acknowledgment of genuine effort to confront challenges.
And I'm still here
Reassurance that despite difficulties, the speaker persists.
How do I say this
Struggling to articulate the magnitude of personal experience.
My world looks so massive
The world appears overwhelming or significant.
It's not easy, walking around
Navigating life is not simple or straightforward.
Open my mouth and there's no sound
An inability to express thoughts verbally.
Don't know what I'm feeling
Uncertain about emotions or lacking emotional awareness.
Now I'm disappearing
Fading away, losing visibility or presence.
Can you fix the way I think
Seeking assistance to alter thought processes.
Slow my thoughts, before I sink
Desiring a slowdown of thoughts to avoid sinking further.
You see I'm somewhere here inside
Internal struggle persists despite attempts to hide.
Crouched away from all the light
Remaining concealed from external influences.
I'm still going blind
Continued loss of clarity despite efforts to resist.
If I seem to run away and hide
If distancing oneself, it's an effort to shield from scrutiny.
Please know that I really tried
An honest admission of attempting to confront challenges.
And I'm still here
Reiteration of persistence despite ongoing difficulties.
You see I'm somewhere here inside
Internal struggle endures, hidden from external observation.
Crouched away from all the light
Remaining concealed, avoiding exposure to external influences.
I'm still going blind
Continued loss of clarity, despite efforts to resist.
If I seem to run away and hide
If withdrawing, it's an effort to protect oneself.
Please know that I really tried
Reaffirmation of genuine effort despite challenges.
And I'm still here
Assurance that, despite difficulties, the speaker persists.
