Drop the Mask
Unmasking Emotional Struggles: "Drop the Mask" by Hawel/McPhail
Lyrics
Its the evening of the day
Reflecting on the evening of the day, setting the scene for contemplation.
Can't trust noone' Ive heard you say
Expressing a lack of trust in others, quoting someone who feels this way.
Im hangin in trying to comprehend
Struggling to understand or make sense of a situation.
What went wrong that drives you round the bend
Pondering what went wrong, causing emotional distress or frustration.
Just dont take it out on me
Pleading with someone not to direct their negative emotions or actions towards the speaker.
Just dont take it out on me
Reiteration of the plea to avoid being a target of someone else's negativity.
Leave me here searching for clues
Feeling abandoned or left alone while searching for answers.
A lack of recognition blues
Experiencing a sense of sadness or frustration due to a lack of acknowledgment or understanding.
A little approval from your side
Desiring approval or recognition from someone, but it comes with negative consequences.
Turns into a guilt trip every time
Approval turns into a burden or source of guilt every time it is received.
Just dont take it out on me
Repetition of the plea not to be a target of someone's negative emotions or actions.
Just dont take it out on me
Continued emphasis on avoiding being a recipient of negativity.
Just dont take it out on me
Further reinforcing the plea for protection from negative emotions or actions.
Just dont take it out on me
Continued plea against becoming a target of negativity.
Just cant fake it
Expressing an inability to pretend or deceive any longer.
Refuse to wear this mask no more
Rejecting the idea of wearing a metaphorical mask to conceal true feelings or identity.
I just can´t fake it
Reiterating the rejection of pretense for the sake of perseverance.
Just to keep on keepin on
Choosing not to pretend in order to continue enduring difficulties.
Its said that time heals everything
Recognizing the common saying that time heals, but questioning its effectiveness in overcoming emotional distance.
But not a distance growing within
Highlighting the challenge of bridging a growing emotional gap.
How can we turn this thing around
Pondering the possibility of turning a challenging situation around.
When every offer gets turned down?
Expressing frustration with repeated rejections or failures to find a solution.
Just dont take it out on me
Repetition of the plea not to be the target of someone's negative emotions or actions.
Just dont take it out on me
Continued emphasis on avoiding being a recipient of negativity.
Just dont take it out on me
Further reinforcing the plea for protection from negative emotions or actions.
Just dont take it out on me
Continued plea against becoming a target of negativity.
