Sanity
Embracing Madness: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Hannah Alexandra's 'Sanity'
Lyrics
You're too pretty to be sad
You possess beauty that shouldn't be overshadowed by sadness.
Don't you think it's kind of mad
Expressing disbelief about the situation, finding it somewhat crazy.
That I can feel
Acknowledging the ability to sense the emotions experienced by the other person.
The things you feel about me
Acknowledging the impact of the emotions felt by the other person on oneself.
Like when you push me out your way
Referring to a situation where the person is pushed away with no response.
Leaving me with nothing else to say
Feeling left speechless due to the other person's actions.
I can tell
Sensing that the other person's behavior is a result of feeling suffocated.
It's cause you're suffocating
Attributing the behavior to a sense of suffocation on the other person's part.
But I don't wanna live this life
Expressing a reluctance to live a life without the other person.
Without you
Reiterating the importance of the other person in one's life.
There's so many things I need
Conveying a need to communicate various things to the other person.
To tell you
Stressing the importance of sharing thoughts and feelings with the other person.
I used to steal your clothes
Recalling a time when personal items were taken from the other person.
Cause I thought it'd make me be just like you
Expressing a desire to emulate the other person by adopting their qualities.
Used to hate your crazy
Admitting a previous dislike for the other person's eccentricity.
Til I realized I was crazy too
Realizing one's own eccentricity after disliking the other person's.
You're the one that I look up to
Acknowledging the other person as a role model.
There's not just one, maybe a few
Recognizing multiple reasons to hold the other person in high regard.
Reasons to know
Pointing out reasons for keeping the other person close.
That I'm keeping you close to me
Expressing the intention to maintain a close relationship.
Sister you're my sanity
Addressing the other person as a source of stability and reason.
I know we're not a perfect team,
Acknowledging imperfections in the relationship but highlighting mutual support.
But when I cry, you're next to me
Emphasizing the presence of the other person during times of emotional distress.
I can see it in your eyes
Noticing signs of emotional pain or distress in the other person.
You feel like dying
Perceiving a sense of emotional suffering in the other person.
When I get hurt or feel ashamed
Describing the supportive response when personally experiencing pain or shame.
You hold my hand in a distant way
Highlighting the supportive act of holding hands, albeit in a distant manner.
Think I don't notice
Noting the awareness of the other person's actions, even if not explicitly acknowledged.
I wish you'd notice
Expressing a desire for the other person to reciprocate awareness.
That I don't wanna live this life
Reiterating the reluctance to live without the other person's presence.
Without you
Reinforcing the importance of the other person in one's life.
There's so many things I still need
Highlighting the ongoing need to communicate important thoughts and feelings.
To tell you
Stressing the continued importance of sharing experiences with the other person.
I used to steal your clothes
Recalling a past action of taking personal items from the other person.
Cause I thought it'd make me be just like you
Expressing a desire to emulate the other person's qualities through actions.
Used to hate your crazy
Acknowledging a previous dislike for the other person's eccentric behavior.
Til I realized I was crazy too
Realizing one's own eccentricity after disliking the other person's.
You're the one that I look up to
Reiterating the other person as a significant role model.
There's not just one, maybe a few
Acknowledging multiple reasons for holding the other person in high esteem.
Reasons to know
Pointing out reasons for maintaining a close relationship with the other person.
That I'm keeping you close to me
Expressing the intention to keep the other person close for stability.
Sister you're my sanity
Affirming the importance of the other person as a source of sanity and stability.
