Lyrics
By the time my light clicks on
Referring to a moment when the speaker becomes aware or active.
I will be long gone
Expressing the speaker's departure or distance, possibly from a situation or relationship.
Headed out
Heading out, leaving or moving forward.
Is this everything that you expected
Questioning whether current circumstances meet expectations.
Is this everything that you expected
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the questioning of expectations.
Late at night when I get tired of the action
Describing a feeling of restlessness during the late hours.
Feeling wound up looking for a distraction now
Expressing a desire for distraction from current circumstances.
Tell me can you feel the tension
Inquiring about the presence of tension in the situation.
Tell me, do I have your attention
Seeking confirmation of the audience's attention.
One more night that takes it's toll
Highlighting the toll of repetitive experiences over time.
One last time till I explode
Suggesting a final occurrence before reaching a breaking point.
I feel like I can't compete
Expressing a sense of inadequacy or inability to compete.
With the phones and tv screens
Comparing personal struggles with the pervasive influence of technology.
Doomsday moments
Referring to moments of extreme negativity or crisis.
Constant scrolling
Describing a continuous flow of information or events.
Moving right past me
Sensation of being overlooked or surpassed by life's rapid pace.
Do you ever feel like you're the exception
Questioning one's uniqueness in the face of challenges.
Like the whole world's waiting just to teach you a lesson now
Suspecting that the world is ready to teach a lesson.
I bet they like it now
Speculating on others' enjoyment of the current situation.
Do a whole lot of talking just to hear how it sounds
Engaging in conversation for the sake of expression.
Try to get lost just so you can be found right out
Attempting to find oneself by getting lost.
They all love it now
Noting that others appreciate the current state.
One more night that takes it's toll
Reiteration of the toll taken by repeated experiences.
One last time till I explode
Indicating a final occurrence before reaching a breaking point.
I feel like I can't compete
Reiterating a sense of inadequacy or inability to compete.
With the phones and tv screens
Comparing personal struggles with the pervasive influence of technology.
Doomsday moments
Referring to moments of extreme negativity or crisis.
Constant scrolling
Describing a continuous flow of information or events.
Moving right past me
Sensation of being overlooked or surpassed by life's rapid pace.
Do you feel like you might break
Questioning one's emotional stability and resilience.
Is this more than you can take
Asking if the current situation is overwhelming.
Hold your head up high for goodness sake
Encouraging oneself or others to maintain composure.

A final plea for maintaining composure and well-being.
