Reflections of Change: Revisiting Past Selves
Lyrics
You say that you have changed
You claim to have undergone a transformation.
You say that you have matured
You assert that you have become more mature.
Well I don't see it that way
The speaker disagrees with your perceived change.
Go back to what you used to be
Suggesting a return to your previous self.
Woh
Expressing a strong emotion, possibly frustration or disbelief.
I'm Neck Deep in a Proper Dose
Feeling deeply involved in a proper experience or situation.
Woh
Emphasizing the impact of songs, possibly overwhelming or numbing.
All these songs leave me comatose
Woh
Similar to lines 7-8, reiterating the depth of the experience.
I'm Neck Deep in a Proper Dose
Woh
Warning against creating emotional distance.
Don't make us feel like we got too close
Cautioning against making others feel excluded.
There's nothing for you out there
Implying a lack of opportunities or fulfillment in the external world.
That you haven't already spelled out
Noting that everything has been clearly communicated or revealed.
Writing shitty music in your basement
Describing the past activity of creating unimpressive music in a private space.
That's what this was all about
Stating the purpose or essence of the previous creative efforts.
Woh
Repeating the intensity of being deeply immersed in an experience.
I'm Neck Deep in a Proper Dose
Woh
Reiterating the impact of songs, potentially causing a state of unconsciousness.
All these songs leave me comatose
Woh
Restating the deep involvement in a significant experience.
I'm Neck Deep in a Proper Dose
Woh
Warning against creating emotional distance, echoing line 13.
Don't make us feel like we got too close
Cautioning against making others feel excluded, echoing line 14.
Go ahead and
Encouraging a celebratory gesture, possibly sarcastically.
Raise a glass and
Suggesting to raise a glass in a toast.
Make a toast to
Encouraging a positive acknowledgment of abandoning certain things.
Giving up on everything you'd lose
Highlighting the inevitability of losing everything.
Everything you'd lose
Repeating the idea of losing everything for emphasis.
Go ahead and raise a glass
Reiterating the gesture of raising a glass.
To everything you thought you'd lose
Encouraging acceptance of losing everything that was anticipated.
Go ahead and make a toast
Suggesting another toast, possibly to moving on from certain thoughts.
And then get the hell out of my head
Expressing the desire for someone or something to leave the speaker's thoughts.
