RESTART
Navigating Turbulent Emotions: A Reflection on 'RESTART' by Josh Runion
Lyrics
I must stay silent cause these thoughts are violent
I feel the need to remain silent because my thoughts are intense and potentially harmful.
Feelings pick sides it's hard to say
Emotions are taking sides, making it difficult to determine which feelings are correct.
they're right
Uncertainty about the correctness of the emotions.
Beside me that's where you want to be
You desire to be by my side.
Don't say that your speaking honestly
Don't claim to speak honestly.
Oh no might go off this road
There's a risk of deviating from the expected path.
These feelings might go
Possibility of these intense feelings fading away.
Up and down all around like it's 360
Experiencing various emotions in a full circle, a complete range.
Looking fly suit and tie wanting you to miss me
Dressed well, hoping to be missed by you.
How could I be so dry wanting you to text me
Feeling emotionally dry, wanting communication from you.
It's not you it's me
Attributing the emotional distance to personal issues, not the other person.
Bass drops with the pieces of my broken heart
The bass drops coinciding with the shattering of my heart.
Need a restart Jesus is that restart
Expressing a need for a restart, possibly seeking renewal through religious references.
Need to stop thinking about what I wanted then and focus on how I am doing it again
Focusing on the present rather than dwelling on past desires.
I must stay silent cause these thoughts are violent
Reiteration of the struggle to keep intense thoughts silent.
Who am I who am I who am I without you
Questioning identity and significance without the other person.
I got you in my life so what am I going to do
Grateful for having you in my life, pondering future actions.
I could live for myself
Considering the possibility of living for oneself.
But you died for everyone else
Acknowledging a selfless sacrifice for others.
Beside me that's where you want to be
Expressing the desire for your presence by my side.
Don't say that your speaking honestly
Cautioning against claiming honesty in speech.
Oh no might go off this road
Warning about the possibility of deviating from the expected path.
These feelings might go
Repeating the potential fading of intense feelings.
Up and down all around like it's 360
Experiencing a wide range of emotions in a complete circle.
Looking fly suit and tie wanting you to miss me
Dressed well, hoping to be missed by you.
How could I be so dry wanting you to text me
Feeling emotionally dry, wanting communication from you.
It's not you it's me
Attributing the emotional distance to personal issues, not the other person.
Bass drops with the pieces of my broken heart
The bass drops coinciding with the shattering of my heart.
Need a restart Jesus is that restart
Expressing a need for a restart, possibly seeking renewal through religious references.
Need to stop thinking about what I wanted then and focus on how I am doing it again
Focusing on the present rather than dwelling on past desires.
I must stay silent cause these thoughts are violent
Reiteration of the struggle to keep intense thoughts silent.
Feelings pick sides it's hard to say they're right
Emotions are taking sides, making it difficult to determine which feelings are correct.
