Lyrics
Wake up
Awakening from sleep
In the middle of a nightmare
Experiencing a distressing situation
Don't know what happened
Uncertain about the events that transpired
Can't fall back asleep
Unable to go back to sleep
Shake off
Shaking off emotional distress
Tears and thoughts
Dealing with tears and overwhelming thoughts
That cloud my mind
Thoughts clouding the mind
Struggling to find
Struggling to discover clarity
It's just nothing
Feeling emptiness or insignificance
Dreams are just dreams
Realizing that dreams are only illusions
No matter how real they seem
Acknowledging the unreality of dreams
It's just nothing
Reiterating the insignificance of dreams
But my heart don't feel
Expressing emotional disconnect
Safe here in this prison
Feeling unsafe in a self-created mental prison
That my mind has built
The mental prison constructed by the mind
Oh, something's lurking in the water
Sensing an ominous presence in one's surroundings
Something's lurking deep inside my mind
Recognizing internal struggles and conflicts
Oh, something's dragging me down further
Being pulled down by negative forces
Easy to feel
Emphasizing the ease of feeling negativity
But hard to find
Difficulty in overcoming negative emotions
Takeoff
Initiating a departure or escape
In a rocket going nowhere
Embarking on a directionless journey
Don't have a planet
Lacking a sense of belonging
That belongs to me
Not having a place that feels like home
Makeup
Applying makeup as a deceptive cover
Covered in lies
Being surrounded by falsehoods
That cloud my eyes
Falsehoods clouding one's perception
Troubled disguise
Wearing a troubled disguise
It's just nothing
Reiterating the emptiness or insignificance
Dreams are just dreams
Reiterating the illusory nature of dreams
No matter how real they seem
Re-emphasizing the unreality of dreams
It's just nothing
Reiterating the insignificance of dreams
But my heart don't feel
Expressing emotional disconnect
Safe here in this prison
Feeling unsafe in a self-created mental prison
That my mind has built
The mental prison constructed by the mind
Oh, something's lurking in the water
Sensing an ominous presence in one's surroundings
Something's lurking deep inside my mind
Recognizing internal struggles and conflicts
Oh, something's dragging me down further
Being pulled down by negative forces
Easy to feel
Emphasizing the ease of feeling negativity
But hard...
Challenges in overcoming negative emotions
Something's lurking in the water
Sensing an ominous presence in one's surroundings
Something's lurking deep inside my mind
Recognizing internal struggles and conflicts
Oh, something's dragging me down further
Being pulled down by negative forces
Easy to feel
Emphasizing the ease of feeling negativity
But hard
Difficulty in overcoming negative emotions
To find
Challenges in finding positivity or happiness
