Lyrics
I just went to therapy
I recently attended therapy.
To get a little clarity
Seeking clarity through therapy.
Say I hate my father but we've got some similarities
Expressing dislike for the father while acknowledging shared traits.
What a hilarity
Reflecting on the ironic humor in the situation.
Ironic that by fighting it I still became a parody
Fighting against something but unintentionally becoming a parody of it.
Apparently the caged bird sings just like a parquet
Comparing oneself to a caged bird singing, emphasizing confinement.
Stuck inside my ways until I fashioned my own pair of keys
Being stuck in one's ways until finding a way to break free.
Taking psychedelics just to find myself like Cherokees
Using psychedelics in search of self-discovery, like Native American Cherokees.
Wanna make it big just so my parent see
Aspiring for success to make parents proud.
hope they can forgive all my transparency
Hoping for parental forgiveness regarding personal transparency.
I'm looking at a goal that I can barely see
Setting a challenging and barely visible goal.
I know if I fail that it ain't only gone embarrass me
Acknowledging the potential embarrassment of failure.
But I can't afford to live for you so bare with me
Choosing not to live solely for others.
Swear I'm on my way to bigger things than you might dare believe
Expressing confidence in achieving significant goals.
Dammit what a let down
Expressing frustration or disappointment, possibly in oneself or others.
A let down
Reiterating a sense of personal letdown.
I built you up for you to get down
Acknowledging that efforts to build someone up may result in them falling down.
And I guess I'm a let down too
Recognizing personal shortcomings and being a letdown to others.
Cause you built me up and I let down you
Reciprocal acknowledgment of disappointment in relationships.
Why do the words come easier
Reflecting on the ease of expressing oneself when feeling low.
When I'm low oppose to when I'm meteor
Noting the contrast in expression between low and high moments.
I guess the sensation of pain can't be mistook
Suggesting that the sensation of pain is more distinctive than happiness.
While being happy's brief and it's easily overlooked
Commenting on the fleeting nature of happiness and its tendency to be overlooked.
I know I should think more on that but I'm overbooked
Expressing busyness and lack of time for reflection.
When I spend this much time writing instead of paying my bills
Choosing creative pursuits over practical responsibilities.
The curse of being creative isn't worth what it yields
Questioning the value of creativity considering its challenges.
Unless you plant your seeds inside the most fruitful of fields
Highlighting the importance of cultivating creativity in fruitful environments.
I've been using insecurity like it's a shield
Using insecurity as a shield to hide emotional wounds.
To cover up the wounds from memories that haven't healed
Covering up emotional scars instead of addressing them.
Instead of taken chances to see what they might reveal
Avoiding risks and potential revelations by staying within comfort zones.
I hope thats all in my mental
Hoping that mental struggles are temporary.
I know it's fucking scary when you're chasing your potential
Acknowledging the fear associated with pursuing one's potential.
And it gets detrimental
Recognizing the potential negative impact of chasing one's potential.
When you get to an age where nobody can be saved
Reflecting on the difficulty of saving oneself as one ages.
When you develop philosophies based off how you were raised
Forming personal philosophies based on upbringing and experiences.
And people that you look up to ain't worth what you had appraised
Realizing that admired individuals may not live up to expectations.
And you find parts of yourself that'll only make you ashamed
Discovering shameful aspects of oneself through introspection.
I don't get too far these days
Expressing a sense of stagnation or lack of progress.
Find myself lost on freeways
Feeling lost and contemplating behavior on the freeways of life.
Contemplate how we behave
Reflecting on societal behavior and contemplating its implications.
I don't think that we'll be saved
Casting doubt on the likelihood of societal salvation.
