Lyrics
Been stuck on the inside
Feeling trapped or confined internally.
Self medicating
Using self-medication as a coping mechanism.
Duct tape over my eyes
Symbolizing a desire to avoid seeing or facing certain harsh realities.
Cause I've seen too much
Expressing the weight of past experiences.
And I just keep trying
Continuously attempting to survive or overcome challenges.
To tread water but it just keeps rising
Struggling to stay afloat, facing increasing difficulties.
This ship's capsizing
Using the metaphor of a sinking ship to convey a sense of impending failure.
But what can you do
Expressing helplessness in a difficult situation.
You think you're saving the world
Believing one is making a significant impact but realizing it's too late.
But it's already over yeah it's already over
Acknowledging a sense of finality or inevitability.
You should brace yourself
Advising to express love and appreciation before potential tragedy.
Tell your mother you love her cause we're all going under
Embracing a role as the antagonist or the 'bad guy.'
Guess now I'm the bad guy
Accepting a negative perception of oneself.
Look ma I've made it
Celebrating a personal achievement despite external criticism.
They all wanna gaslight
Experiencing attempts to manipulate or distort one's perception.
So just let me burn
Choosing to endure pain or difficulties.
I'm sick of the acting
Expressing frustration with pretending and the pressure to be happy.
And the constant need to be happy
Rejecting the constant need for a facade of happiness.
So where's my Emmy
Humorously questioning where the recognition or reward is.
I'm taking my bow
Taking a moment of acknowledgment or pride.
You think you're saving the world
Reiterating the theme of feeling powerless to change the world.
But it's already over yeah it's already over
Repeating the acknowledgment that it's too late to make a difference.
You should brace yourself
Encouraging preparation for an unavoidable downfall.
Tell your mother you love her cause we're all going under
Repeating the advice to express love before potential tragedy.
So head for the exits there's still time
Urging to escape while there is still time.
But don't even try
Discouraging attempts to save the speaker, emphasizing self-preservation.
You're not gonna save me baby save yourself
Rejecting the idea that someone else can save the speaker.
You think you're saving the world
Reiterating the belief that efforts to save the world are futile.
But it's already over yeah it's already over
Repeating the acknowledgment that it's too late to make a difference.
You should brace yourself
Encouraging preparation for an unavoidable downfall.
Tell your mother you love her cause it's already over
Repeating the advice to express love before potential tragedy.
Sh*t
Exclaiming a sense of frustration or resignation.
You think you're saving the world
Reiterating the belief that efforts to save the world are futile.
But it's already over yeah it's already over
Repeating the acknowledgment that it's too late to make a difference.
You should brace yourself
Encouraging preparation for an unavoidable downfall.
Tell your mother you love her cause we're all going under
Repeating the advice to express love before potential tragedy.
We're all going under
Stressing the inevitability of a collective decline.
