My Poor Brain

Lyrics
Real life is so hard
Expressing the difficulty of real life.
We hide in the stars
Seeking refuge or escape in the stars.
That's where our heads are
Indicating a mental or emotional state focused on the stars.
My head and your heart
Highlighting a contrast between the speaker's head and the listener's heart.
This is a blackout
Referring to a blackout, possibly an emotional or mental shutdown.
Don't let it go to waste
Encouraging not to waste the blackout experience.
This is a blackout
Reiterating the blackout situation.
I want to detonate
Expressing a desire to explode or release emotions.
When you are so far
Feeling distant from someone.
I'm falling apart
Experiencing personal disintegration or emotional breakdown.
Lose all my sonar
Losing emotional perception or connection.
You jam my radar
Having one's senses disrupted or confused by someone.
This is a blackout

Don't let it go to waste

This is a blackout

I want to detonate
Expressing a desire for a cathartic release.
Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
Feeling stuck between social formalities and intimacy.
Between the handshake and the fuck
Describing a conflict between social norms and personal desires.
You've got me on guard
Feeling defensive or on guard in a relationship.
I've got my head start
Having an advantage or head start in a situation.
My head and your heart
Reiterating the contrast between the speaker's head and the listener's heart.
The same in the stars

I can't save you from my poor brain
