Living Alone
Embracing Solitude: A Journey Through Independence and Loneliness
Lyrics
My OCD's been bad
Dealing with challenging episodes of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Yeah, I've been checking the latch On the door three times a night
Frequent checking of the door latch, possibly due to OCD-induced anxiety.
I still sleep with a light
Continuing to sleep with a light on, indicating a need for comfort or security.
Got the mattress on the floor Cause I just couldn't afford
Financial constraints leading to a mattress on the floor instead of a bed frame.
A frame, but hey at least
Despite financial struggles, finding solace in investing in a comfortable mattress.
I blew my money on a queen
Choosing to spend money on a higher-quality mattress, prioritizing personal comfort.
Oh, it's a pendulum between Independent me
Expressing a pendulum-like struggle between independence and loneliness.
And just plain lonely
Navigating between being self-sufficient and feeling plain lonely.
Living alone
Emphasizing the experience of living alone and managing one's affairs.
I hung up all this shit on my own Been calling up more friends on the phone Keep the TV on just to hear someone, oh Living alone
Handling tasks independently, reaching out to friends, and seeking companionship through the TV.
25, tired and broke
Describing the challenges of being 25, feeling tired, and facing financial difficulties.
It's mostly everything that I hoped Picking myself up when the day is done, oh Living alone
Finding fulfillment in self-reliance and perseverance at the end of each day.
It hit me, I don't know
Reflecting on uncertainty and vulnerability in unexpected situations.
What I would do if I choked
Contemplating responses to potential life-threatening scenarios.
Or if they turned off my power Or I found a murderer in my shower
Mentioning fears related to a power outage or discovering a threat in the living space.
Oh, it's a pendulum between Possibility
Highlighting the constant shift between seeing possibilities and feeling scared.
And just plain scary
Experiencing a contrast between hope and fear in the context of independence.
I don't got any rules to break Yeah, sometimes I miss those days
Lacking specific rules in independent living but acknowledging the nostalgia for the past.
Living alone
Reiterating the challenges and accomplishments of living alone.
I hung up all this shit on my own Been calling up more friends on the phone Keep the TV on just to hear someone, oh Living alone
Independently organizing and managing personal space, seeking connection through phone calls and TV.
25, tired and broke
Expressing the exhaustion and financial strain of being 25 and living alone.
It's mostly everything that I hoped Picking myself up when the day is done, oh Living alone
Finding satisfaction in self-reliance and resilience at the end of each day.
