Lyrics
You can bottle it up but it'll shine through
You can suppress emotions, but they will eventually be evident.
Growing up you're told yeah you stand tall
Advice received in childhood to stand tall and confident.
Better stand tall
Emphasizes the importance of maintaining confidence.
I see myself I don't associate
The singer identifies with themselves but may not connect with others.
Do I repress or hope it goes away
Contemplation on whether to suppress or confront internal struggles.
It's in your head yeah there's no escape
The challenges are within one's mind, and there's no easy escape.
12 cents a bottle yeah that's little change
A metaphorical reference to the low value of personal struggles.
I'm not an outsider I'm just stuck in my head
Expressing internal struggles rather than being an outsider.
Not prepared to answer questions I'll just leave it read
Avoidance of questions, preferring to leave things unspoken.
Can't explain to you why I'm so anxious
Unable to articulate the reasons behind personal anxiety.
A drop of paint yeah it doesn't fill a canvas
A small effort doesn't have a significant impact.
I'm not an outsider I'm just stuck in my head
Reiteration of feeling stuck in one's thoughts and unable to explain anxiety.
Not prepared to answer questions I'll just leave it read
-Can't explain to you why I'm so anxious
-A drop of paint yeah it doesn't fill a canvas
-Yeah a drop of paint it doesn't fill a canvas
Repetition of the metaphor that a small effort doesn't make a big difference.
I'm not a saint I'm tryna get past this
Acknowledgment of not being perfect, striving to overcome challenges.
I'll never say what you don't wanna hear
A commitment to honesty, even if the truth is painful.
It hurts the same, try to make that clear
Pain is universal and doesn't change based on communication.
Wish I figured it out a little sooner
Regret about not understanding things sooner in life.
Yeah nobody talks about me there's no rumors
A sense of being unnoticed, free from gossip or rumors.
Don't respond when I text but they don't mean it
People may ignore messages, possibly unintentionally.
Every couple of months I get that same
Recurring emotional experiences every few months.
Feelin
-I'm never sorry when I'm stealin
No remorse for the time spent on questionable activities.
All the time that I waste yeah there's no ceilin
A sense of limitless time, possibly wasted.
Need a few more years I think I'm healin
Hope for healing but acknowledging it takes time.
It doesn't matter to me I'll find meanin
Finding meaning and purpose in personal experiences.
I'm not an outsider I'm just stuck in my head
Reiteration of feeling stuck, unable to explain anxiety, and the insignificance of small efforts.
Not prepared to answer questions I'll just leave it read
-Can't explain to you why I'm so anxious
-A drop of paint yeah it doesn't fill a canvas
-I'm not an outsider I'm just stuck in my head
Continued expression of internal struggles, avoiding questions, inability to explain anxiety, and the metaphor of a small effort not making a significant impact.
Not prepared to answer questions I'll just leave it read
-Can't explain to you why I'm so anxious
-A drop of paint yeah it doesn't fill a canvas
