Bojack Horseman
Confessions of a Sad Clown: Unveiling Self-Loathing in Bojack Horseman
Lyrics
Well is there anyone to talk to
Seeking someone to communicate with
Yeah this is the eighth night you've been in my dream
Recurring appearance of the person in dreams
Do you think I should call you
Contemplating reaching out
We could try to make plans
Suggesting making plans together
We could go see a band
Proposing attending a concert
But I know that'll fall through
Expectation of plans falling apart
We couldn't drive up to Charlottesville
Referencing an unreachable destination, suggesting difficulties
Wouldn't know what to say if I saw you
Uncertainty about conversation if encountered
I'd probably lie and say everything's fine
Intending to deceive about emotional state
But that's just a lie cuz I'm
Internal turmoil
Sick to my stomach
Feeling physically ill due to emotional distress
But on the outside I'm laughing out loud
External display of happiness despite inner struggles
I'll paint on a smile I'm in denial that I am
Masking true feelings behind a smile
I know that I'll probably never write your favorite song
Self-doubt about creative abilities
Mainly because I'm in the wrong
Attributing failure to personal fault
Ninety percent of the time
Perceiving a lack of worth most of the time
It's all I'm ever good for
Self-perceived limited value
And sometimes I feel like I'm Bojack Horseman
Identifying with the self-loathing character of Bojack Horseman
Cuz I hate myself more than you could
Self-hatred surpassing perceived external love
Ever aim to love me
Recognizing personal responsibility for emotions
But It's not your fault all the blame is mine
Accepting self-blame in relationships
Every fucking time and that's why
Repeatedly taking responsibility for negative outcomes
I'm sick to my stomach but on the outside I'm laughing out loud
Inner turmoil contrasting with external demeanor
I paint on a smile I'm in denial that I'm the sad clown
Concealing inner sadness behind a façade
And I know that it's easy for you to say turn your frown upside down
Difficulty in changing emotional state despite advice
But I can't really help with the cards I was dealt I'm the fucking sad clown
Feeling trapped by circumstances and inner pain
I'm sick to my stomach but on the outside I'm laughing out loud
Continued contradiction between inner and outer emotions
I paint on a smile, I'm in denial that I am
Repeatedly hiding true emotions with a smile
I'm sick to my stomach but on the outside I'm laughing out loud
Continued struggle with internal turmoil and external display
I paint on a smile I'm in denial that I'm the sad clown
Consistent theme of hiding pain behind a façade
And I know that it's easy for you to say turn your frown upside down
Struggling to change emotional state despite advice
But I can't really help with the cards I was dealt I'm a fucking class clown
Feeling trapped by circumstances, humor used as a defense
Alright could I hear the whole thing back really quick
