Lyrics

Hold up, rewind

Expressing a pause or interruption, a desire to go back.

I don't wanna die

Expressing a reluctance or fear of death.

With an endless stream of messages

Avoiding leaving behind a continuous string of messages as a legacy.

To signify my life

Symbolizing a desire for meaningful experiences in life.


I tie my tongue up in knots

Struggling to express oneself, feeling constrained.

I've been biting my lip until I draw blood

Engaging in self-harm or self-destructive behavior due to frustration.

I guess it's never enough

Acknowledging that efforts may not be sufficient.

I know it's never enough enough

Recognizing the insufficiency of one's actions or existence.


I'm a pale imitation of me

Feeling like a diminished version of oneself.

There's no use in looking backwards

Rejecting the idea of dwelling on the past.

I'm exactly where I wanna be

Content with the current state and location in life.

A pale imitation's all I see

Seeing oneself as a diminished or inadequate copy.

Now I'm looking in the mirror

Examining oneself in a reflective manner.

And I'm not the boy I used to be

Realizing personal growth and change over time.


Hold up, I'm fine

Asserting emotional stability or well-being.

I don't wanna lie

Rejecting the desire to deceive or pretend.

I've got all these insecurities

Struggling with inner doubts and lack of confidence.

They're creeping up my spine

Feeling insecurities gradually taking hold.


I tie my stomach in knots

Experiencing internal turmoil or anxiety.

I reminisce about all the things I've lost

Nostalgic reflection on past losses or experiences.

Getting out of the house

Deciding to leave one's place of comfort or routine.

I'm getting out of the house

Actively seeking change or new experiences.


I'm a pale imitation of me

Feeling like a diminished version of oneself (repeated).

There's no use in looking backwards

Emphasizing the futility of dwelling on the past (repeated).

I'm exactly where I wanna be

Expressing contentment with the current state (repeated).

A pale imitation's all I see

Seeing oneself as a diminished or inadequate copy (repeated).

Now I'm looking in the mirror

Reflecting on personal changes through self-examination (repeated).

And I'm not the boy I used to be

Acknowledging significant personal transformation (repeated).


Tie my tongue up in knots

Repeating the struggle to express oneself or feeling constrained.

I've been biting my lip until I draw blood

Continuing self-harm or destructive behavior as an outlet.

I guess it's never enough

Acknowledging the perpetual feeling of insufficiency.

I've been losing myself I guess it's never enough

Acknowledging a loss of identity or self.


Tie my tongue up in knots

Repeating the struggle to express oneself or feeling constrained (repeated).

I've been biting my lip until I draw blood

Continuing self-harm or destructive behavior as an outlet (repeated).

I guess it's never enough

Acknowledging the perpetual feeling of insufficiency (repeated).

I guess it's never enough

Reiterating the recognition of perpetual insufficiency (repeated).
