Lyrics
There's someone in my corner who reminds me I don't meet expectations
Feeling pressure from someone in their corner who points out unmet expectations.
And they're so damn repetitive I can't help but believe what they're saying
Acknowledging repetitive criticism and struggling not to believe it.
I'm taking all the bricks that they throw at my head to build up bigger walls, mmm
Turning negative comments into building blocks for personal strength but feeling trapped.
but they're trapping me in
Despite building walls, still feeling confined or restricted.
I'm trying to explain feeling claustrophobic in isolation, isolation
Expressing a sense of claustrophobia and isolation, possibly due to criticism.
'Cause I can't pay rent
Financial struggles, unable to afford rent.
Had to move back home
Forced to move back home due to economic challenges.
Always losing friends, standing in their shadows
Constantly overshadowed by others, losing friends in the process.
So I can't save you if I can't save myself
Unable to help others when personal struggles prevent self-salvation.
I'm not your hero when I'm lost as well
Admitting that they can't be a hero for others when feeling lost themselves.
Maybe I'm not gonna make it
Expressing doubt about the future and personal success.
Maybe the last years were wasted
Questioning if past years were wasted.
But we've lived through worse things that happen
Reflecting on having survived difficult situations before.
So what's the worst that could happen
Pondering the potential outcomes of current challenges.
I've pushed through things that should kill me
Surviving experiences that could have been fatal.
And I'm still a stranger in my city
Despite survival, feeling like a stranger in their own city.
But we've lived through worse things that happen
Reiterating resilience in the face of adversity.
So what's the worst that could happen
Contemplating the worst-case scenarios.
Yeah you got a hunger that you can't explain
Noticing an unexplainable hunger in someone else.
I've felt it for ages
Personally experiencing a long-lasting desire or craving.
Tryna find some meaning in this existentialism is crazy
Seeking meaning in existentialism, acknowledging its craziness.
So thank God we're crazy
Grateful for their shared sense of craziness with others.
'Cause I can't pay rent
Repetition of financial struggles and returning home.
Had to move back home
Reiteration of losing friends and living in their shadows.
Always losing friends, standing in their shadows
Emphasizing the difficulty of saving others without self-rescue.
And I can't save you if I can't save myself
Restating the inability to be a hero when feeling lost personally.
I'm not your hero when I'm lost as well
Reiterating doubts about personal success.
Maybe I'm not gonna make it
Repeating the question of wasted years and potential failure.
Maybe the last years were wasted
Recalling past survival of worse situations.
But we've lived through worse things that happen
Posing the question again about potential negative outcomes.
So what's the worst that could happen
Reiterating the ability to overcome challenging situations.
I've pushed through things that should kill me
Surviving situations that should have been fatal.
And I'm still a stranger in my city
Repeating the feeling of being a stranger in one's own city.
But we've lived through worse things that happen
Restating resilience in the face of adversity.
So what's the worst that could happen
Reflecting on potential worst-case scenarios.
If my luck don't change, and I go flat broke
Speculating on possible negative turns of luck and financial hardship.
And I move the hills instead of mountains I hoped
Adjusting expectations from conquering mountains to moving hills.
And I don't save you or even save myself
Expressing the possibility of not being able to save anyone, including oneself.
Then at least I tried to leave this wasteland well
Acknowledging the effort to leave a difficult situation, even if unsuccessful.
But it's not that bad, and the good gets better
Finding a positive perspective, recognizing that things are not as bad as they seem.
And I know it's corny, and I don't sound clever
Acknowledging the potential cliché in expressing positivity and lack of cleverness.
But to not feel pain is to not feel love
Stating that feeling pain is inherent to feeling love.
If it's all I'm left with that would be enough
Accepting that having love, even if it causes pain, is enough.
