Overblown
Overblown Angst: Moving on from Toxicity
Lyrics
Trash-talkin' drama queens are a black spot on my day
Trash-talking drama queens negatively impact the speaker's day.
So sad I didn't call you up to see if you're okay
The speaker regrets not checking up on someone to see if they are okay.
I woke up, and saw what's real, and fixed all that was wrong
After realizing the truth, the speaker has addressed and corrected what was wrong.
Yeah, you might've seen and changed your ways
The possibility that the person has changed, but it took too long for the speaker to notice.
But it was takin' too damn long
Expressing impatience with the slow pace of change.
Yeah, it's overblown
Referring to the situation as exaggerated or blown out of proportion.
Let's give all that angst a home
Suggesting that the intense emotions (angst) should find a place to reside.
Are you satisfied?
Questioning if the person is content or fulfilled.
I've come to see if you're alright
Expressing concern and checking on the well-being of the person.
Bad scenes and fake dreams were what ate up your time
Describing negative experiences and false aspirations that consumed the person's time.
I could never be that man 'cause my sense of self was mine
The speaker asserts their individuality, emphasizing a strong sense of self.
I bottled it up, and smoothed it out, and looked the other way
Suppressing emotions and avoiding confrontation by looking away.
You make me sick, you've ruined it, and we're just not the same
Expressing strong disapproval, feeling disgusted, and acknowledging a changed relationship.
Yeah, it's overblown
Reiterating that the situation is exaggerated or blown out of proportion.
I've picked up and carried on
The speaker has moved on and continues with life.
Are you satisfied?
Asking if the person is content with the outcome of the relationship.
You're better off now that we've died
Indicating that the person is better off after the relationship has ended.
Yeah, it's overblown
Repeating that the situation is exaggerated or blown out of proportion.
I've picked up and carried on
The speaker has moved on and continues with life.
Hope you're satisfied
Expressing indifference to whether the person is content with the outcome.
I don't care if you're alright
The speaker does not care about the well-being of the person.
No, I don't care if you're alright
Reiterating the speaker's lack of concern for the person's well-being.
Livin' like a vampire, you're wagin' holy wars of fire
Describing someone's lifestyle as draining and engaging in conflicts.
Get past the mirror and maybe I won't grow so tired
Suggesting that self-reflection might prevent the speaker from becoming tired.
You sorted it out, you wrote it down, now you wish you could erase
The person has organized their thoughts but wishes they could erase them.
But last I looked it, I'm just a man, so you can tell it to my face
The speaker asserts their humanity and challenges the person to speak directly.
Yeah, it's overblown
Reiterating that the situation is exaggerated or blown out of proportion.
Let's give all that angst a home
Suggesting that intense emotions (angst) need a place to reside.
Are you terrified?
Asking if the person is afraid that the speaker will criticize their creative work.
That I'll punch holes in what you write
The speaker may critique the person's work, causing them concern.
Yeah, it's overblown
The speaker has moved on and continues with life.
I've picked up and carried on
Expressing indifference to whether the person is content with the outcome.
Hope you're satisfied
Asking if the person is content with the outcome of the relationship.
I don't care if you're alright
Reiterating the speaker's lack of concern for the person's well-being.
