Lyrics
I breathe in I freak out and I doubt
The speaker experiences anxiety and uncertainty.
The things I breath out when its converted inside my veins
What the speaker exhales affects them internally.
What ashame we're all rushing about
Expresses the collective rush of people in life.
'Till someone shouts out "son you've forgotten your name"
Highlights the possibility of losing one's identity amidst the rush.
Cause I'm a fool oh I'm a tool
Self-deprecating; feeling foolish and inadequate.
Slightly optimistic but ultimately just afraid
Being somewhat hopeful but mostly scared.
So afraid
Reiterates fear as a predominant emotion.
I've been talking to people
The speaker engaged in conversations with others.
And heard what they say
Received input or advice from those conversations.
It's not wonder I feel like I do
Explains the reason behind the speaker's emotional state.
'Cause if all my soul is destined to die a scarecrow
Contemplates a fear of an unfulfilled life.
I would crawl out whole to not end up living my days in limbo
Desire to avoid a life of uncertainty and indecision.
'Cause all my life
Reflecting on a lifetime of experiences.
I've been talking to evil and evil was scared
Engaged with negativity or sinister influences.
It's no wonder you say what you want
Understanding why others speak their minds freely.
I've been listening to people
The speaker actively listened to others.
And heard what they say
Similar to line 10, justifying their emotions.
It's not wonder I feel like I do
Explains the emotional weight due to responsibilities.
I fall out 'cause heavy is the crown of the courts clown
Metaphorically, feeling burdened by one's mistakes.
When it's gilded in each mistake
Consequences of each error, affecting the speaker deeply.
What a shame this frown echos around this town
The impact of negativity spreading in the speaker's environment.
I feel I'll drown if I don't make my escape
Sense of suffocation if escape is not sought.
But I feel walled, i can't recall was I vaguely optimisic
Doubtful about past feelings, unsure of optimism.
Or ultimately just afriad
Reiterating the predominant feeling of fear.
So afraid
Emphasizes the recurring fear in the speaker's life.
I've been talking to people
Continued engagement in conversations with others.
And heard what they say
Reception of opinions or advice from those conversations.
It's not wonder I feel like I do
Reaffirms the explanation for the speaker's emotional state.
'Cause if all my soul is destined to die a scarecrow
Revisits the fear of an unfulfilled or wasted life.
I would crawl out whole to not end up living my days in limbo
Desire to avoid a life of uncertainty and indecision, again.
'Cause all my life
Reflecting on a lifetime of engaging with negativity.
I've been talking to evil and evil was scared
Continued involvement with sinister influences.
It's no wonder you say what you want
Understanding the reason behind others' outspokenness.
I've been listening to people
Actively paying attention to others' opinions.
And heard what they say
Reinforcement of the explanation for the emotional state.
It's not wonder I feel like I do
Final statement, echoing the persistent emotional struggle.
