outside looking in
Reflections of Solitude: Kid Cansado's Journey from Within
Lyrics
I've been wondering if I'm better off alone and out of sight
I contemplate whether I am better off being alone and away from others.
Cause things seem brighter when I'm trapped in my bedroom, when I stay inside
Being in my bedroom feels comforting, and life seems more positive when I isolate myself indoors.
And I've been on the outside looking in
I have observed situations from an outsider's perspective.
Through shattered glass that represents my fragile past
Reflecting on my troubled history through broken glass symbolizing my delicate past.
I don't forget
I don't easily forget those experiences.
I live in my head
I predominantly live in my thoughts and imagination.
And I should make the thoughts pay rent
Suggesting that my thoughts should contribute to my mental well-being, perhaps through positive actions.
But I stay in the same position that I've been in all my life
I remain stuck in the same life situation throughout my existence.
From time to time
This repetition occurs periodically, finding solace in not feeling okay.
Because I find release in tending not to feel alright
Finding relief in the act of not being emotionally stable.
Maybe I'm not fine
Questioning my emotional well-being, suggesting I might not be okay.
And I've been on the outside looking in
Reiteration of being an outsider, emphasizing the fragility of my past.
Through shattered glass that represents my fragile past
Repeating the metaphor of shattered glass to symbolize remembering a delicate history.
I don't forget
Emphasizing the persistent memory of past experiences.
I live in my head
Highlighting my tendency to live predominantly in my thoughts and imagination.
And I should make the thoughts pay rent
Reiterating the idea that my thoughts should contribute positively to my mental state.
But I would lose myself before I'd lose somebody else
Expressing a preference for self-loss over losing someone else.
Maybe I need help
Suggesting a potential need for assistance or support.
I recognise the reasons why I feel this way
Acknowledging an understanding of the reasons behind my emotions.
So why do I stay the same?
Raising the question of why I persist in maintaining the same situation despite recognition.
(Again and again)
Repetition of staying in the same situation, emphasizing a cycle of behavior.
