Lyrics
Waking up quarter past eleven
Waking up at 11:15 AM, suggesting a late start to the day.
life’s been slipping its way from me, now its seven
Feeling that life is escaping or slipping away.
friends are asking what happened to the real me
Friends are questioning the authenticity of the speaker's identity or character.
I don’t know what they mean by that
The speaker is unsure about the perceived change in themselves.
and I’ve always right here
The speaker has been present but emotionally distant or preoccupied.
dreaming of what I could be,
Dreaming about unrealized potential and possibilities.
if I could muster an ounce of motivation
Struggling to find motivation or drive.
but sadly you can’t see the me that I want to be
Expressing that others cannot see the desired version of the speaker.
cause that is only something of fairy tales
Acknowledging that the ideal self is akin to something found in fairy tales—unattainable.
I tell myself if I don’t break I’ll be okay
A self-affirmation to endure challenges without breaking.
just hold a little longer don’t break
Encouraging oneself to persevere despite difficulties.
but when I smile it’s like I have try
Forcing a smile, suggesting a struggle to appear happy.
I miss the times when I didn’t cry at every little thing on my mind
Nostalgia for a time when the speaker was less emotionally vulnerable.
and I’m not feeling shy
Asserting a lack of shyness or inhibition.
and if neverland was real, would it be worth to disappear
Raising a hypothetical question about the value of disappearing if Neverland (a fictional place) were real.
trying not to fall into habits
Trying to avoid falling into negative habits or patterns.
I can see myself miles and miles away from who I want to be
Visualizing a significant distance from the desired self.
my thoughts are eating me kinda slow
Internal thoughts are causing gradual distress or anxiety.
but if I hold out now I’ll make through somehow
Optimistically believing that holding on will lead to a positive outcome.
I tell myself if I don’t break I’ll be okay
Reiteration of the self-affirmation to withstand challenges.
just hold a little longer don’t break
Repeating the encouragement to endure and persist.
but when I smile it’s like I have try
Expressing effort in smiling, suggesting it's not a spontaneous expression.
I miss the times when I didn’t cry at every little thing on my mind
Longing for a time when the speaker was less emotionally sensitive.
and I’m not feeling shy
Reaffirming a lack of shyness or inhibition.
and if neverland was real, would it be worth to disappear
Reiterating the contemplation of disappearing if Neverland were real.
waking up quarter past eleven
Repetition of waking up late, emphasizing the passing of time.
life’s been slipping its way from me, now its seven
Reiteration of the feeling that life is slipping away.
