Getting Better.
Finding Strength in Chaos: Izzy Cenedese's Journey to Self-Acceptance
Lyrics
Band-Aids aren't bulletproof and Vaseline just makes me greasy
Expressing the limitations of quick fixes and the futility of certain solutions.
What kind of remedy could you offer me?
Questioning what remedy or solution can be provided in the given situation.
Think it's my head get help I see myself all kinds of crooked
Recognizing personal struggles and the need for assistance, possibly mental or emotional.
I'm bent into a tangled fleshy knot
Feeling emotionally twisted and entangled, depicting inner turmoil.
Why have I been built like this I don't have a clue
Expressing confusion about one's own existence and the reasons behind personal challenges.
If god hates homosexuals then what am I doing here
Questioning the acceptance and purpose in a world that may hold prejudiced views.
Show me the exit life's lost its fun
Expressing a desire to escape life due to perceived lack of enjoyment.
Mom and dad taught me my heart is in the wrong
Acknowledging parental influence on self-perception and beliefs about one's heart.
My brain is full of sin and I don't have the right to love
Feeling burdened with guilt and sin, questioning the right to love.
My wiring's mixed up or just a dud please pull me from the shelves
Suggesting internal confusion or malfunction, seeking withdrawal from societal expectations.
And I won't ask you any questions
Expressing a desire for understanding without probing questions.
Please just pardon my existence
Requesting acceptance and understanding without judgment.
I've tried to leave so many times
Reflecting on past attempts to leave or escape from challenges.
Something's keeping me here
Sensing an unseen force or reason that keeps the individual from leaving.
Maybe I don't need to leave
Contemplating the possibility that leaving may not be necessary.
I gotta find somewhere to get better
Expressing a commitment to self-improvement and the search for a better place.
Let me get better
Reiterating the desire to improve and overcome personal struggles.
Dragging my fingers on guitar strings
Using music as a therapeutic outlet to release built-up pressure.
To release some of the pressure I have built over time
Expressing the need to release emotional tension accumulated over time.
Clogged up I try too hard
Feeling overwhelmed and obstructed by excessive effort to please others.
So damn exhausted from wanting to please you
Expressing exhaustion from the constant pursuit of approval from others.
I feel so guilty for existing
Feeling guilty about one's existence, possibly due to external judgment.
Why does your religion mean more than your blood
Questioning the prioritization of religious beliefs over familial bonds.
You made it seem so normal to disagree on love
Reflecting on the normalization of disagreement over love within the family.
That's out of pocket can't draw that card
Expressing disapproval for certain attitudes or actions as unacceptable.
Meeting tons of people who respect a simple pronoun
Encountering individuals who respect and acknowledge personal pronouns.
Who I kiss is no one else business now
Asserting autonomy over personal relationships and choices.
I hope you learn if not that's your problem
Expressing a hope for understanding and personal growth in others.
And you won't ask me any questions
Anticipating a lack of questions or understanding from others.
You've never seemed to listen
Noting a historical lack of attentive listening from others.
After five long years I'm running dry
Feeling emotionally drained after an extended period of dealing with challenges.
You're so stuck in your ways
Observing resistance to change or flexibility in someone's beliefs.
How stubborn can you be
Expressing frustration with someone's persistent stubbornness.
I'll drop it 'cuz I've found something better
Choosing to let go of a particular issue because of finding something better.
Yeah I'm getting better
Expressing personal growth and improvement over time.
