Lyrics
And the feeling comes and goes
Describing the transient nature of a certain feeling that comes and goes.
Like the messages on your phone
Comparing the fleeting nature of the feeling to messages appearing and disappearing on a phone.
From Telstra
Mentioning Telstra, a telecommunication company, possibly adding a real-world context or metaphor.
Wanting to be your main data provider
Expressing a desire to be the primary source of support or comfort for someone.
And the weeds are overgrown
Metaphorically describing the unchecked growth of problems or challenges.
Yeah they're growing when you're alone
Highlighting that issues intensify when faced alone.
They grow in your head
Symbolizing the intrusive and persistent nature of negative thoughts.
Plant seeds of doubt and anxiety
Metaphorically referring to self-doubt and anxiety as seeds planted in the mind.
And say you're better off
Suggesting that someone might advise distancing oneself for one's own good.
Gone
Implies the idea of avoiding problems or challenges by leaving.
Sweep it under the rug
Advocating for ignoring or hiding problems instead of confronting them.
When it's getting too much
Suggesting the act of concealing difficulties when they become overwhelming.
You invite people over
Creating a facade by inviting people over to divert attention from personal issues.
To cover up the mess
Using social interactions to mask or distract from personal struggles.
You've become
Reflecting on the change in one's character or situation due to unresolved issues.
We'll laugh it off (We'll laugh it off)
Optimistically attempting to dismiss problems through laughter.
But it's never enough (It's never enough)
Acknowledging that temporary distractions are insufficient to address deeper issues.
Because if they leave and you're locking the front door
Highlighting the anxiety when people leave, leaving the individual alone with their problems.
The feeling sinks in
Describing a sinking feeling as the reality of the situation becomes apparent.
And you realise we've been here before
Realization that the current struggles have been experienced before.
Yeah the feeling sinks in
Reiteration of the sinking feeling and the familiarity of the situation.
And you realise we've been here before
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of facing similar challenges.
Yeah the feeling sinks in
Repetition to underline the sinking feeling as a significant emotional experience.
And your eyelids begin to grow heavy
Describing the physical and emotional toll of dealing with problems.
And the room begins to grow cold
Creating a somber atmosphere with a cold and heavy room.
With the sirens that bleed through your window
Introducing external factors, like sirens, that add to the overall stress or discomfort.
You debate whether you should grow old
Contemplating the choice of growing old despite the challenges.
And the weeds are still overgrown
Reiteration of the persistent growth of problems when alone.
Yeah they're growing when you're alone
Emphasizing that issues intensify in solitude.
They grow in your head
Repetition of the metaphor of weeds representing self-doubt and anxiety.
Plant seeds of doubt and anxiety and say
Reiterating the impact of negative thoughts and advising to sweep them aside.
Sweep it under the rug
Reinforcing the theme of hiding problems under the metaphorical rug.
When it's getting too much
Encouraging the act of concealing problems when they become too burdensome.
You invite people over
Using social interactions as a cover-up for personal struggles.
To cover up the mess
Repeating the idea of creating a facade through social interactions.
You've become
Reiteration of the change in character or situation due to unresolved issues.
We'll laugh it off (We'll laugh it off)
Optimistically attempting to dismiss problems through laughter, repeating the theme.
But it's never enough (It's never enough)
Acknowledging that temporary distractions are insufficient to address deeper issues, repeating the theme.
Because when they leave and you're locking the front door
Reiteration of the anxiety when people leave, leaving the individual alone with their problems.
The feeling sinks in
Describing a sinking feeling as the reality of the situation becomes apparent, repeating the theme.
And you realise it's worse than before
Final realization that the situation is worse than before, concluding the narrative.
