Crows
Midnight Reflections: Battling Inner Demons
Lyrics
I'm buried in my head
Feeling mentally overwhelmed and consumed by thoughts.
My thoughts are crows
Comparing thoughts to crows, possibly intrusive and unsettling.
They're picking at my brain
These thoughts are causing distress or discomfort.
I guess I'm dead
Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected.
It's tearing me apart
Experiencing emotional pain or turmoil.
Beneath my skin
Struggling internally despite outward appearances.
Breathe me in
Desiring to be noticed or understood.
I'm wide awake and it's 3 am
Feeling alert late at night, possibly restless.
Feeling it
Experiencing something deeply.
I turn and toss when you're in my head
Difficulty sleeping due to thoughts of someone else.
How do you sleep at night?
Questioning someone else's peace of mind.
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment.
You wonder why I'd rather be alone
Preferential solitude, seeking isolation.
I guess you're on my mind
Being preoccupied or affected by someone.
(I guess you're on my mind)
Reiterating preoccupation with someone else.
I guess I'm doing fine
Indicating a facade of being okay despite inner struggles.
(I guess I'm doing fine)
Again, presenting a front of being fine despite difficulties.
I said I wouldn't lie
Expressing an intent to be honest despite difficulties.
But I guess it's best
Realizing it might be better to hide one's true thoughts.
I should probably hide the thoughts that are in my head
Suggesting the need to conceal inner turmoil.
Breathe me in
Repetition of feeling alert and restless at 3 am.
I'm wide awake and it's 3 am
Experiencing something deeply again at 3 am.
Feeling it
Struggling internally when someone else affects you.
I turn and toss when you're in my skin
Struggling internally when someone affects your emotions.
How do you sleep at night?
Questioning someone else's peace of mind again.
Yeah
Reiterating preference for solitude.
You wonder why I'd rather be alone
Blank line, no explicit meaning.
(Breathe me in)
Repetition of desiring to be noticed or understood.
Rip the sheets off this empty bed
Expressing a desire to break free from loneliness.
(Breathe me in)
Expressing a desire to leave behind personal belongings.
Gather all my shit and strike a match
Symbolic action of letting go and starting anew.
(Breathe me in)
Metaphorically wanting to destroy the familiar environment.
Burn this house down while you're out with him
Desiring to erase the memories tied to a place.
(Breathe me in)
Continuing the desire to start fresh and be alone.
Turn it all to ash, I'd rather be alone
Emphasizing the desire to leave everything behind.
