Talk to Myself
Conversations with Solitude: A Musical Reflection
Lyrics
My hair is dirty and I smell like dog.
Feeling unkempt and unpleasant, possibly neglecting personal hygiene.
Can't sleep living in a fog and I don't know the last time I put on shoes.
Experiencing insomnia, living in a mental haze, and not remembering the last time shoes were worn.
I make my way to the living room.
Moving to the living room from an unspecified place.
Lay on the couch like I'm in King Tuts Tomb.
Reclining on the couch in a way reminiscent of being in a grand burial chamber, possibly feeling isolated.
I don't know what to binge watch. I can't choose.
Indecision regarding what to watch for an extended period, unable to make a choice.
I'm feeling achy and fat like I've been hit by a bat.
Feeling physically sore and worn out, possibly comparing the feeling to being struck by a bat.
Tired of doing nothing all day.
Exhausted and frustrated by a day filled with inactivity or boredom.
I jump into the shower.
Starting a shower.
I don't get out for an hour. Watching the water drip down the walls.
Spending an unusually long time in the shower, observing the water and feeling trapped.
Chorus:
Chorus: Repeating actions or habits to cope with inner turmoil.
I talk to myself every night.
Talking to oneself as a form of solace or comfort.
I sing a little song to make me feel all right.
Singing to alleviate emotional distress or discomfort.
I drink till I'm stupid all day long.
Consuming alcohol excessively throughout the day to escape or numb feelings.
I'm losing my mind so I wrote this song.
Expressing a sense of losing mental stability, leading to writing the song as an outlet.
Try to relax and have a cup of tea.
Attempting to relax with a cup of tea but replacing it with alcohol (whiskey).
I swap it out for a shot of whiskey.
Choosing to drink whiskey despite not being a habitual drinker.
Never been a drinker but I can't stop.
Feeling unable to stop drinking despite not typically drinking alcohol.
The dog's giving me dirty looks.
Perceiving disapproval from a pet (dog) due to current behavior.
She's sick of me and wants to eat my books. She's tired of eating pizza with a weenie on top.
Imagining the dog's dissatisfaction, possibly symbolizing dissatisfaction with current habits or circumstances.
What an interesting twist that all the things that I've missed I used to hate.
Realization that previously disliked activities or things are now desired.
I want to go back to work.
Longing to return to work, feeling a desire to be productive again.
I want to be Captain Kirk and hop in a spaceship.
Wishing for an adventurous and imaginative escape from reality, like a space explorer (Captain Kirk).
That's my fate.
Accepting fate or feeling resigned to circumstances.
