People I Barely Knew
Navigating Heartbreak: A Soul's Journey through Empty Connections
Lyrics
All my friends are taken
All of the speaker's friends are in relationships.
And it's been hard to feel this vacant
The speaker feels emotionally empty and struggles with the void.
Ever since I left you
Leaving someone has affected the speaker's emotional state.
Seems like what I knew has changed
The speaker observes a shift in what they thought they knew.
And I've been in a box
The speaker feels confined or restricted, going through the motions.
Goin' through the motions
Continuing routines without genuine engagement or enthusiasm.
Hard to think that this is all part of a plan
Doubting that the current situation is part of a larger plan or purpose.
Want someone to know me better than they know the sun
Desiring a deep connection with someone who understands them intimately.
Shines in the day
Wanting to be known as well as the sun is known during the day.
Know without a question
Desiring certainty about one's identity.
Who I am and that there's only one
Believing in a unique and singular identity.
Seems like nobody knows
Feeling misunderstood or unrecognized by others.
And I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the situation.
Am I in my head too much?
Questioning if the speaker overthinks things.
Seems like the world and I've gotta do some catching up
Feeling out of sync with the world and needing to catch up.
Oh stop this train
Expressing a desire to halt or slow down the progression of life.
I'm getting ahead of my brain
Acknowledging the need to pause and reflect.
Running the tap into the drain of you
Metaphorically using a tap and drain to represent emotional investment.
And wasting my love on people I barely knew
Regretting investing love in people with whom the connection was superficial.
I found out you're a liar
Discovering that someone the speaker trusted was deceitful.
My friends roll their eyes and say
Friends express skepticism about the speaker's relationship choices.
That this was common knowledge
Others were aware of the deceit, suggesting it was common knowledge.
I sure know how to pick 'em, hey?
Reflecting on a pattern of choosing untrustworthy individuals.
And now I'm at square one again
Feeling back to square one in relationships.
Taking tips from all my friends
Seeking advice from friends who have experienced similar situations.
Look how it turned out for them
Considering the outcomes of following others' advice.
Maybe I could do the same
Contemplating replicating others' experiences to find a solution.
But I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the suggested course of action.
Am I in my head too much?
Questioning if the speaker is overthinking the situation.
Seems like the world and I've gotta do some catching up
Feeling out of sync with the world and needing to catch up.
Somebody stop this train
Desiring a pause or halt in the progression of life.
I'm getting ahead of my brain
Acknowledging the need to pause and reflect.
Running the tap into the drain of you
Metaphorically using a tap and drain to represent emotional investment.
And wasting my love on people I barely knew
Regretting investing love in people with whom the connection was superficial.
And I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the situation.
If I'm in my head too much?
Questioning if the speaker is overthinking things.
It seems like the world and I've gotta do some catching up
Feeling out of sync with the world and needing to catch up.
Somebody stop this train
Desiring a pause or halt in the progression of life.
I'm getting ahead of my brain
Acknowledging the need to pause and reflect.
Running the tap into the drain of you
Metaphorically using a tap and drain to represent emotional investment.
And wasting my love on people I barely knew
Regretting investing love in people with whom the connection was superficial.
