In My Head
Whispers of Turmoil: Julie Arsenault's Melancholic Symphony
Lyrics
Quietly resent me
Feeling a quiet sense of resentment directed towards me
As I quietly go mad
Becoming mentally distressed or unstable in a subdued manner
Don’t act like you understand old man
Addressing someone as an old man, dismissing their understanding of her actions
Why I make the same mistakes
Questioning why she repeatedly makes the same mistakes
Over and over again
Expressing a pattern of making errors repeatedly
Why the real always seems fake and why my
Reflecting on the paradox where genuine experiences feel artificial
Dreams are the only things that make sense
Finding meaning and coherence only in dreams amidst confusion
Stormy weather in my head
Describing a turbulent mental state or emotional turmoil
Even when my man is near
Experiencing inner chaos even when her significant other is close
Stormy weather in my head
Continuing to face internal storms despite a clear external forecast
Though the forecast says it’s clear
Contradicting the expected clarity in her emotional weather
For no matter what you say, it’s the opposite I hear
Perceiving the opposite of what is being communicated
Oh it’s best we just keep quiet now my dear
Suggesting it's best to maintain silence in the relationship
Quietly resent me
Reiterating a sense of resentment, possibly reciprocated
I understand completely
Acknowledging understanding of the resentment
We’ve been through this song and dance before
Referencing a repetitive cycle of arguments and discussions
While quietly darling Billie’s songs they play on repeat
Listening to Billie Holiday's songs as a backdrop to emotional struggles
And her voice it seeps deep down into my pores
Feeling the impact of Billie Holiday's voice on a deep emotional level
Stormy weather in my head
Reiterating the theme of stormy thoughts and emotions
Though my man, I love him so
Expressing love for her partner despite the inner turbulence
Stormy weather just pretend
Pretending to be fine despite the emotional storm, keeping it hidden from her partner
That I’m fine he’ll never know
Keeping her partner unaware of the internal struggles
‘Cause I am, and he gets it
Accepting her emotional state, though the reasons are unclear
Don’t know why, just accept it
Encouraging acceptance and understanding through silence
Just be quiet, and let Billie sing the blues
Suggesting solace in letting Billie Holiday's blues convey unspoken emotions
