Lyrics
Talk as if you want to know our name
Talking in a way that suggests a desire to know our identity
Pieces of the puzzle seem to slowly fall in place
Various elements are gradually fitting together, forming a complete picture
I'll admit that you lit a fire under me
Acknowledging that someone ignited a passion or drive in the speaker
But I dragged my feet
Despite being motivated, the speaker procrastinated or hesitated
Took too long
Took an extended period, causing an opportunity to slip away
And let it slip away
Regret over losing an opportunity due to delay
I cannot do this
Expressing an inability to handle the current situation
I cannot do this
Reiteration of the inability to cope with the situation
I feel the pressure building
Sensing increasing stress and tension
I'm going to break
Feeling the imminent emotional breakdown
Well, I've been patient but not today
While the speaker has been patient in the past, today is an exception
I put up with everybody else but not today
Endurance for others is no longer tolerable today
My anger is discreet, its buried underneath
Anger is present but hidden beneath the surface
But not today, no. I cannot do this. Not today.
Despite the anger, the speaker asserts the inability to cope today
I woke up with zero dollars in my bank account
Waking up with no money in the bank account
I can't take any time off and I'm burned out
Unable to take a break, feeling exhausted
Everything happens in pairs and nobody cares
Things happen in pairs, but others are indifferent to what the speaker is going through
What I'm doing, what I'm talking about. No
Expressing frustration about being misunderstood or ignored
I'm done settling
No longer willing to accept less than what is deserved
I'm done trembling
No longer trembling with fear or uncertainty
Just sit back, relax, and enjoy
Suggesting a sarcastic attitude, advising others to relax and enjoy
Watch me throw away my life
Choosing to discard one's own life, possibly in a metaphorical sense
I cannot do this
Reiteration of the inability to handle the situation
I cannot do this
Emphasizing once again the inability to cope
I can only bend so far
Having limitations, a breaking point is approaching
Before I break
Expressing vulnerability and the impending emotional breakdown
Well, I've been patient but not today
While patience has been a virtue, it is not applicable today
I put up with everybody else but not today
Tolerance for others has reached its limit today
My anger is discreet, it's buried underneath
Anger remains hidden but is not manageable today
But not today, no. We cannot do this alone.
Emphasizing the shared struggle, unable to face challenges alone
Well, I've been patient but not today
Reiteration of the lack of patience today
I put up with everybody else but not today
No longer tolerating others' actions or demands today
My anger is discreet, it's buried underneath
Anger is present but not under control today
But not today, no. I cannot do this.
Once again asserting the inability to cope with the current situation
I'm alone.
Feeling isolated or lonely
And I know that I do this to myself
Acknowledging self-inflicted hardships and the possibility of change
I could let it go if I just open up my door
Realizing that letting go is possible by opening up to new possibilities
