Lyrics
Let me let you in on a secret
Expressing a desire to share a hidden truth or insight.
I’m falling behind just like everyone else
Acknowledging a sense of falling behind in life, similar to others.
And I’ve been so determined to keep it
Being determined to conceal a personal struggle or difficulty.
I’m good at making sure that nobody can tell
Skilled at hiding personal challenges from others.
That all my social skills depend on what I’m drinking
Admitting social skills reliance on alcohol consumption.
I’m an expert in the art of overthinking
Expertise in overthinking situations.
And when I’m drowning I convince the world I’m swimming
When facing difficulties, portraying a façade of confidence.
But I know I’m not alone
Acknowledging a shared sense of vulnerability.
No I know I’m not alone
Reinforcing the idea of shared struggles.
Cause no one here really knows what they’re doing
Highlighting the uncertainty and lack of direction in life.
Yeah we know we’re stuck but pretend like we’re moving
Pretending to be moving forward despite feeling stuck.
No there isn’t anyone who really knows what’s going on
No one truly understands what's happening in life.
I can’t even think of one, not even
Emphasizing the rarity of understanding, using Jon Bellion as an example.
Jon Bellion
Reference to Jon Bellion as an exception to the lack of understanding.
Let me let you in on a secret
Reiteration of the intention to share hidden truths.
I can’t do it all myself I’m not a genius
Acknowledging limitations and not being a genius.
No I’m really not
Emphasizing the lack of exceptional abilities.
Most days I’m telling all my friends that I’m busy
Deceptive communication about busyness to friends.
But I sit on my phone or I stare at the wall or I sleep in
Revealing unproductive activities during claimed busyness.
And I say I’m not
Contradicting the claim of not being busy.
We’ve all got monsters in our memories
Commonality in having distressing memories or experiences.
We obsess over extremities
Focusing excessively on extreme situations.
We hear trumpets we hear melodies
Perceiving impactful and emotional elements in life.
We hear trumpets we hear
Repetition of the impact of emotional experiences.
Cause no one here really knows what they’re doing
Reiteration of the shared lack of understanding in life.
Yeah we know we’re stuck but pretend like we’re moving
Faking progress despite feeling trapped.
No there isn’t anyone who really knows what’s going on
No one truly comprehends the complexities of life.
I can’t even think of one, not even
Highlighting the rarity of understanding, referencing Jon Bellion again.
Jon Bellion
Repeating Jon Bellion as an exception to the lack of understanding.
All my happiness depends upon the season
Expressing dependence on external factors for happiness.
And I’m jealous of my friends for no good reason
Admitting jealousy without a valid reason.
I get nervous when I’m out and end up leaving
Feeling anxious and leaving social situations prematurely.
But I know I’m not alone
Reassurance that the sense of loneliness is shared.
No I know I'm not alone
Emphasizing the shared nature of struggles.
Cause no one here really knows what they’re doing
Reiteration of the lack of understanding in life.
Yeah we know we’re stuck but pretend like we’re moving
Faking forward movement while being stuck.
No there isn’t anyone who really knows what’s going on
No one truly comprehends the complexities of life.
I can’t even think of one, not even
Highlighting the rarity of understanding, referencing Jon Bellion again.
Jon Bellion
Repeating Jon Bellion as an exception to the lack of understanding.
We’ve all got monsters in our memories
Commonality in having distressing memories or experiences.
We obsess over extremities
Focusing excessively on extreme situations.
We hear trumpets we hear melodies
Perceiving impactful and emotional elements in life.
But we can’t do it by ourselves
Recognition of the need for collective effort, unable to handle it alone.
We’ve all got monsters in our memories
Commonality in having distressing memories or experiences.
We obsess over extremities
Focusing excessively on extreme situations.
I can’t think of anyone
Expressing difficulty in thinking of anyone who understands.
Even Jon Bellion
Reiteration of the rarity of understanding, even mentioning Jon Bell
