Lyrics
Thing is
Introducing a topic or situation
I've been thinking about what to say
Contemplating what to express
And how I would say it
Considering the manner of expression
If you were there at a show would I play it?
Reflecting on the potential audience reaction
And if not
Questioning the purpose if not heard
Why then write it? If no one hears
Debating the value of writing without an audience
Am I making excuses?
Self-reflection on possible excuses
Shall I just use this?
Considering using the current situation for expression
When it comes to emotions I'm useless
Admitting difficulty in handling emotions
So...
Transitioning to a new thought
If you wanna talk a little something
Inviting a conversation about something important
Like sometime, alright
Suggesting a specific time for conversation
If you never wanna, then no drama yeah that's fine
Expressing acceptance if the conversation is not desired
I never wanted to waste your time at all
Clarifying the intention not to waste time
But really though
Acknowledging a challenging situation
I'm in a hole
Revealing a sense of being stuck or troubled
And could use your help
Requesting assistance from someone else
Just so you know
Informing about personal emotional state
I'm feeling low
Expressing a heightened level of sadness
More than usual
Highlighting an unusual emotional state
There's nobody else
Emphasizing a lack of alternative support
But I find it hard to talk about the stuff that went on
Struggling to discuss past experiences
And would you listen?
Pondering if the listener would be receptive
Ok
Expressing doubt or skepticism
This is pointless
Questioning the usefulness of the current course of action
Cause I feel worse
Admitting feeling worse about the situation
And I can't get the words out
Struggling to articulate thoughts verbally
Make a roll, have a smoke, get the beers out
Suggesting using substances to cope
Oh wait
Realizing a potential issue with coping mechanisms
That's the problem that I can't escape
Identifying a persistent problem
There's some dirt in a wound here
Describing an unresolved emotional wound
Pull the sutures
Suggesting removing a temporary solution
Cause my past is preventing my future
Linking past experiences to future obstacles
So...
Returning to a previous thought
If you wanna talk a little something
Reiterating the desire for conversation
Like sometime, alright
Suggesting flexibility in timing for the conversation
If you never wanna, then no drama yeah that's fine
Reiterating acceptance if the conversation is not wanted
I never wanted to waste your time at all
Reaffirming the intention not to waste time
But really though
Reiterating the challenging situation
I'm in a hole
Requesting assistance once again
And could use your help
Highlighting personal emotional struggles
Just so you know
Stating the emotional state more emphatically
I'm feelin low
Expressing a heightened emotional state
More than usual
Emphasizing the absence of alternative support
There's nobody else
Struggling to discuss past experiences again
But I find it hard to talk about the stuff that went on
Pondering if the listener would listen once more
And would you listen?
Repeating the question of receptiveness
