Lyrics

It doesn't take much to see me

Expressing that the speaker's emotions or state of mind is easily discernible.

A therapy whore and breaking down

Suggesting the speaker is emotionally distressed and undergoing a therapeutic process.

It doesn't take much to please me

Indicating that the speaker is not demanding much to feel content.

Throw me on the floor and wear it proud

Describing a willingness to be vulnerable and open about personal struggles.

My problems now precede me

Conveying that the speaker's issues are now evident to others.

But I see their ghosts all of the time

Referring to the lingering impact of past experiences on the speaker.

I wouldn't say they haunt me

Denying that the past experiences are haunting, but acknowledging their constant presence.

I can't let them go 'cause they are not mine

Expressing difficulty in letting go of the past as it still affects the speaker.


Well I make hills into mountains

Metaphorically turning minor issues into major challenges.

Made out of pearl, they call me a girl

Describing the creation of an artificial image, possibly influenced by societal expectations.

And no, my generation isn't lazy

Rejecting the stereotype that the speaker's generation is lazy, blaming the previous generation for global issues.

Yours just went out and fucked up the world

Criticizing the actions of the older generation for negatively impacting the world.

There's charm on my face, they call it disgrace

Highlighting a facade of charm that conceals a sense of disgrace.

A lack of shame, a debt to be paid

Acknowledging a lack of shame but recognizing a debt that needs to be addressed.

A free ticket to madness

Describing a journey into madness as an inevitable consequence.

Is the only guarantee you've ever made

Suggesting that uncertainty is the only certainty in life.


We're drowning, right before their eyes

Stating that societal problems are worsening and becoming more apparent.

We're drowning, right before their fucking-

Reiterating the deterioration of the situation with added emphasis.


Well ain't it serene?

Reflecting on the apparent calmness or tranquility despite challenges.

I'm living your dream but I can't get the job

Ironically living someone else's dream but facing difficulties in securing stable employment.

Ain't it freeing?

Expressing a sense of liberation despite struggling, while others thrive.

I'm down here struggling while you're up on top

Highlighting the disparity between the speaker's struggles and the success of others.

Don't turn away

Urging not to ignore the challenges and to consider the impact on future generations.

And leave your offspring to deal with this mess

Encouraging responsibility for the consequences rather than passing them on to offspring.

But you'll do it anyway

Anticipating that despite the plea, individuals will still neglect their responsibilities.

We'll be better off once you're dead

Suggesting a belief that the world will be better without the current generation.


We're drowning, right before their eyes

Repeating the idea that societal issues are worsening and becoming more visible.

We're drowning, right before their fucking eyes

Reiterating the intensification of problems with added emphasis.
