Lyrics
Took my straight jacket off
Took off my straight jacket, symbolizing liberation from constraints or limitations.
Then I had a walk around looks the same
After removing the jacket, the surroundings seem unchanged, indicating an internal transformation.
It's just the weight no longer holds me down
The weight no longer holds the person down, suggesting a release from burdens or emotional struggles.
Feel ashamed that all the way I
Expressing shame about the journey and missed opportunities for self-improvement.
Could've dragged me out
Reflecting on the possibility of being helped or rescued during difficult times.
Takes as long as it takes
Emphasizing the individualized pace of personal growth or healing.
But I'm glad I found it
Finding contentment or resolution in the process despite its duration.
Cut my shirt into a cape
Symbolic act of transforming a shirt into a cape, suggesting empowerment and embracing uniqueness.
Now I glide around it woke up feeling awake
Gloating about newfound freedom, gliding through life with a positive outlook.
I ain't mad about it
No resentment about the past; embracing the current state of awakening.
Cut my shirt into a cape now I glide
Reiteration of the empowering act of turning a shirt into a cape and gliding.
For a second, yeah
Temporary feeling of being lost or disconnected from oneself.
I reckon I was good as gone
A realization that the person was on the brink of losing themselves.
Couldn't see beyond the trees that
Obstacles (trees) obstructing the view, representing challenges in life.
Grew across my lawn
Challenges overcome; boredom with discussions about mental health arises.
Now all this talk about my
Reference to ongoing conversations or concerns about the person's mental well-being.
Mental health is getting boring
Expressing weariness with the continuous focus on mental health topics.
Takes as long as it takes
Reiteration of the individualized pace of personal growth or healing.
But I'm glad I found it
Finding contentment or resolution in the process despite its duration (repeated from line 8).
Cut my shirt into a cape
Symbolic act of transforming a shirt into a cape, emphasizing personal empowerment.
Now I glide around it woke up feeling awake
Gloating about the continued positive outlook and awakening.
I ain't mad about it
No resentment about the past; embracing the current state of awakening (repeated from line 11).
Cut my shirt into a cape now I glide
Reiteration of the empowering act of turning a shirt into a cape and gliding (repeated from line 12).
