Prozac
Breaking Through Shadows: Embracing the Storm in James Quick's Prozac
Lyrics
I don’t want a Prozac
The speaker doesn't want medication like Prozac.
And act like everything’s just fine
They don't want to pretend that everything is okay.
Numb it 'til grows back
Trying to numb emotional pain until it feels normal again.
But it’s deadlier this time
The method used previously to cope with pain is now more harmful.
I don’t want a Prozac
Reiteration of not wanting to rely on medication and pretending everything is fine, acknowledging the worsening effect of numbing emotional pain.
And act like everything’s just fine
-Numb it 'til grows back
-But it’s deadlier this time
-Cuz I’ve been going back there
Reflecting on revisiting a place or state where they were emotionally shattered.
The place where I was broken down
Describing being emotionally broken down.
Turned my head all inside out
A metaphorical expression of feeling emotionally disoriented.
And I’ve been feeling so scared
Expressing intense fear or anxiety.
My mind just got the best of me
Feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts.
Leave it to insanity
Suggesting a struggle with mental instability.
So tell me that it’s safe and sound
Seeking reassurance and safety, especially when feeling vulnerable.
Even if you're not around
-'Cause I don't wanna hit the ground
-If you're not gonna lay me down
-I don’t want a Prozac
Continued rejection of using medication to cope and pretending everything is fine despite the worsening impact of numbing emotions.
And act like everything’s just fine
-Numb it 'til grows back
-But it’s deadlier this time
-I don’t want a Prozac
-And act like everything’s just fine
-Numb it 'til grows back
-But it’s deadlier this time
-Now I’ve made a home here
Describing a mental state where life and death seem intertwined.
This place where living meet the dead
Experiencing intense internal conflicts or struggles.
Biggest battles in my head
Referring to significant emotional battles within their mind.
Anxious and I’m unclear
Feeling anxious and unclear about the future.
The day the world goes white to red
Anticipating a moment of extreme stress or crisis.
I’ll be locked up in my bed
Expecting withdrawal from the world due to mental distress.
So tell me that it’s safe and sound
Repeating the plea for reassurance and safety in distressing times.
Even if you're not around
-'Cause I don't wanna hit the ground
-If you're not gonna lay me down
-I don’t want a Prozac
Continued refusal to resort to medication and pretending everything is fine despite the worsening impact of numbing emotions.
And act like everything’s just fine
-Numb it 'til grows back
-But it’s deadlier this time
-I don’t want a Prozac
-And act like everything’s just fine
-Numb it 'til grows back
-But it’s deadlier this time
