in my shoes
Walking in Shadows: Foreign Frnd's Odyssey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
You think that you know me but you don't
You believe you understand me, but you actually don't.
Come and step in my shoes and find out
Walk in my shoes and discover the reality.
Locked inside more things than just this house
Trapped in more than just this physical space.
There's a lot I gotta figure out
There are many things I need to figure out.
In my mind there's too much doubt
My mind is filled with uncertainty.
Gotta get up out this drought
Must overcome this difficult situation.
Damn I need to settle down
Feeling a need to find stability.
Always out here running round
Constantly on the move, running around.
This ain't safe and this ain't sound
The current situation is neither safe nor sensible.
Lost myself I can't be found
I've lost myself, and it's challenging to be found.
Six feet under in the ground
Metaphorically, feeling buried or overwhelmed.
Don't you kick me when I'm
Don't criticize me when I'm
down down down down
Down, expressing vulnerability.
You think that you know me but you don't
Reiteration of the misconception about understanding.
Come and step in my shoes and find out
Invitation to experience my life firsthand.
Locked inside more things than just this house
Not just confined to the physical space of a house.
There's a lot I gotta figure out
Continuation of the struggles that need resolution.
Why can't you come clean, why you lying to me
Questioning someone's honesty and transparency.
How can we succeed, when there's no honesty
Doubting the possibility of success without honesty.
All this blood I bleed, I taste the irony
Symbolic reference to the emotional toll with bleeding.
Feels like I just can't breathe, there's no more oxygen
Feeling suffocated, lacking essential support.
All in my mind again locked up I just can't get in
Mind preoccupied, struggling to access thoughts.
I lost my mind again think it's time to phone a friend
Sense of losing sanity, contemplating seeking help.
Don't know what time it is I should prolly go to bed
Uncertain about the time, possibly neglecting self-care.
Why you keep chiming in, I don't need no opinions
Questioning unnecessary input and interference.
I don't need opinions just to tell me what to do oh no
Rejecting unsolicited advice and control.
You the fucking reason why I'm gonna need a funeral
Blaming someone for potential negative outcomes.
Got me feeling feelings that I never ever knew before
Experiencing unfamiliar emotions due to external influence.
You're the burning building and I never made it out that home
Metaphor of a burning building, unable to escape.
You think that you know me but you don't
Reiteration of the misunderstanding about the person.
Come and step in my shoes and find out
Encouraging direct experience to truly understand.
Locked inside more things than just this house
Reinforcing the complexity beyond the physical confinement.
There's a lot I gotta figure out
Ongoing struggle with multiple unresolved issues.
Why can't you come clean, why you lying to me
Returning to the theme of dishonesty and deception.
How can we succeed, when there's no honesty
Highlighting the challenge of success without truth.
All this blood I bleed, I taste the irony
Recurrence of the metaphor of emotional bleeding.
Feels like I just can't breathe, there's no more oxygen
Intensifying the feeling of suffocation and despair.
I know what I said
Acknowledging a previous statement or promise.
Locked up in my head
Continued sense of being mentally confined.
There's no more oxygen
Reiteration of the struggle for essential support.
Breathe in I'm lost again
Invoking a sense of losing oneself again.
I know what I said
Reaffirming the mental confinement and struggle.
Locked up in my head
Repetition of the suffocation due to lack of support.
There's no more oxygen
Emphasizing the absence of essential elements for survival.
There's no more
Concluding with a stark realization of deprivation.
