Lyrics

So what would you do?

Questioning what actions one would take in a given situation.

Just sit at home?

Suggesting the option of staying at home and doing nothing.

That's uh, I was in the house for three weeks

Reflecting on a period of being confined at home for three weeks.

I didn't go out no place

Not leaving the house during the mentioned three-week period.

You didn't go out at all?

Seeking confirmation about not going out at all.

What about your sleep?

Asking about the quality of sleep during the mentioned time.

I don't sleep good

Expressing difficulties in sleeping well.

Can't sleep well?

Seeking confirmation or empathy about the challenges of sleeping well.


Yeah, yeah, yeah

Confirmation or agreement with the previous statement about sleep.

Dragging my brain

Metaphorically describing mental exhaustion and feeling controlled or restrained.

By a leash, by a leash, by a leash

-

Today, everyday

Describing a monotonous and seemingly depressing daily routine.

Everyday is the same

-

Wake up, go to bed

-

Cry myself to sleep

-

Just a game, pretend it, pretend it

Viewing life as a game and finding solace or escape in sleep.

It's better in my sleep, it's better in my sleep

-

It's better in my sleep, it's better in my sleep

-

It's better in my sleep, it's better in my sleep

-

My brain by a leash

Repeating the metaphor of the brain being controlled or dragged, possibly by negative thoughts.

By a leash, by a leash

-

Dragging my brain (my brain)

-

By a leash, by a leash, by a leash

-

Just a game (just a game)

Describing life as a game and the act of pretending in one's thoughts.

Pretending, pretending

-

In my head, in my head

Highlighting the repetitiveness and monotony of everyday life.

Everyday, everyday (everyday, everyday)

-

It's all the same

-

Wake up, run away

Expressing a desire to escape or run away to the woods.

To the woods, never find me

-

I'm so bored all the time, all the time

Emphasizing constant boredom and repetition in life.

I'm so bored all the time, all the time

-

If I sleep

Stating that sleeping is preferable and better than reality.

It's better in my sleep

-

It's better in my sleep

-

One day I might just break

Indicating a potential breaking point or emotional breakdown, still preferring the escape of sleep.

It's better in my sleep

-

One day I might just break

-

It's better in my sleep

-

Time slowed down?

Raising a question about the perception of time when one is sleep-deprived.

Well I mean when they say when a person

-

Doesn't sleep and they can't, what is there?
