Serotonin
Navigating Shadows: Dylan Dunlap's Serotonin Struggle
Lyrics
Twenty-five candles,
Reflecting on 25 years of life.
Not sure how much more I can handle.
Expressing difficulty in coping with life's challenges.
Up in my castle,
Metaphorical reference to personal space or emotional retreat.
Another year another battle.
Acknowledging the ongoing struggles in life.
No I don't want you to find me.
Desire for isolation and privacy.
Right now it's easier to hide the key.
Choosing to keep emotions hidden.
Sorry I cancelled.
Apologizing for canceling plans, possibly due to personal issues.
This isn't about you.
Clarifying that personal struggles are not related to others.
I'm low on serotonin.
Admitting a shortage of happiness-inducing neurotransmitter.
I'm no good at controllin' my self esteem.
Admitting difficulty in managing self-worth.
Can't help it if I'm feelin' hopeless,
Acknowledging feelings of despair.
If I can't smell the roses in front of me.
Difficulty appreciating the present moment.
I bet you're thinkin' I'm so typical,
Awareness of being perceived as stereotypical.
But you can't see the chemicals.
Highlighting unseen internal struggles.
Don't treat me like I'm broken.
Requesting not to be treated as damaged.
I'm just low on serotonin.
Reiterating the chemical imbalance as the root cause.
Me and my problems,
Acknowledging personal challenges and hardships.
We got used to hittin' rock bottom.
Familiarity with hitting rock bottom.
Something in the water,
Metaphor for external influences pulling one down.
Keeps pulling me under.
Continued struggle against negative forces.
No I don't want you to find me.
Desire for solitude and concealment.
Right now it's easier to hide the key.
Continuing the theme of hiding emotions.
I know I should have called you,
Expressing regret for not reaching out.
It's not that I didn't want to.
Clarifying the absence of intention to avoid communication.
I'm low on serotonin.
Repetition of serotonin deficiency as a central issue.
I'm no good at controllin' my self esteem.
Reiterating struggles with self-esteem.
Can't help it if I'm feelin' hopeless,
Acknowledging uncontrollable feelings of despair.
If I can't smell the roses in front of me.
Emphasizing difficulty in enjoying the present.
I bet you're thinkin' I'm so typical,
Awareness of being perceived in a common way.
But you can't see the chemicals.
Highlighting the unseen internal struggles again.
Don't treat me like I'm broken.
Insisting on not being treated as damaged or broken.
I'm just low on serotonin.
Reaffirming the root cause of the struggles.
I bet you're thinkin' I'm so typical,
Repeating the perception of being typical with hidden struggles.
But you can't see the chemicals.
Reiteration of internal struggles not visible to others.
Don't treat me like I'm broken.
Requesting understanding instead of judgment.
I'm just low on serotonin.
Emphasizing the central role of serotonin imbalance.
I'm low on serotonin.
Repetition of the serotonin deficiency as a recurring theme.
I'm no good at controllin' my self esteem.
Reiterating challenges in managing self-worth.
Can't help it if I'm feelin' hopeless,
Acknowledging the persistence of despair.
If I can't smell the roses in front of me.
Reemphasizing difficulty in appreciating the present.
I bet you're thinkin' I'm so typical,
Addressing perceived stereotypes again.
But you can't see the chemicals.
Stressing the unseen internal struggles.
Don't treat me like I'm broken.
Requesting not to be treated as damaged or broken.
I'm just low on serotonin.
Final emphasis on serotonin deficiency as the underlying issue.
