The Procedure
Journey Through Heartbreak: The Emotional Prelude to 'The Procedure'
Lyrics
Going back to the night before the procedure
Reflecting on the night before a significant event, possibly a life-altering procedure.
I was a coward and I waited till you were in the shower then I
Confessing to an act of cowardice – leaving during a vulnerable moment.
Packed up my boots and toque and walked out the front door
Packing belongings and leaving abruptly, emphasizing a decisive departure.
Going back to the night before the procedure
Revisiting the night before the mentioned procedure, indicating its importance.
I was restless scared I could feel my heart getting weaker
Expressing restlessness and fear, physical symptoms hinting at emotional distress.
And you held me so tight that I gave into the fight
Recalling a moment of emotional support, potentially with a partner.
Gave into the fight
Highlighting the internal struggle and the decision to confront challenges.
Been Fuelling myself on coffee and blues
Dependence on coffee and blues, possibly as coping mechanisms.
And every good song reminds me of you
Associating meaningful songs with memories of the person being addressed.
Yeah I see you in the faces that follow around
Seeing reminders of the person in others' faces, indicating a strong connection.
My brain's so loud I can't handle the sound
Describing overwhelming thoughts, possibly related to the mentioned person.
I'm running through problems all through the night
Engaging in problem-solving, possibly reflecting on past actions and decisions.
I'm grinding my teeth till the morning light
Physical manifestation of stress, grinding teeth throughout the night.
I'm feeling so selfish and screaming help
Admitting to selfish feelings and a need for help.
I'm getting so tired of myself
Expressing fatigue and frustration with one's own behavior.
Of myself
Reiterating a sense of self-exhaustion and internal struggle.
Counting down from ten
Counting down, possibly indicating a sense of finality or impending change.
My eyes fall heavy I know that it's the end
Anticipating the end and acknowledging the weight of the situation.
After all before this mess were we ever really friends
Raising questions about the nature of the relationship before the mentioned mess.
Now I'm counting down the time till I'm feeling fine
Counting down to a hopeful recovery and realization that the person was not truly theirs.
And I realize that you were never really mine
Acknowledging the non-possession of the person and the associated realization.
You were never really mine
Reiterating the acknowledgment that the person was never truly owned.
Been fuelling myself on coffee and blues
Repeating the dependence on coffee and blues as a coping mechanism.
And every good song reminds me of you
Reconnecting songs with memories of the person, emphasizing the ongoing impact.
I see you in the faces that follow around
Seeing familiar traits of the person in others, continuing the emotional struggle.
My brain's so loud I can't handle the sound
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of thoughts and noise in the mind.
I'm running through problems all through the night
Continuing the theme of problem-solving and internal conflict into the night.
I'm Grinding my teeth till the morning light
Repeating the physical manifestation of stress through teeth grinding.
I'm feeling so selfish and screaming help
Expressing selfish feelings and a desperate cry for help.
I'm getting so tired
Reiterating the growing fatigue with oneself and the situation.
