DOWNER
Echoes of Loss: Lisa Heller's Haunting Reflections on Love and Solitude
Lyrics
Whatever happened at the after party?
Reflecting on events or occurrences from an after-party, unsure of what exactly happened
I said too much, yeah I'm so sorry
Regretting speaking too much and feeling apologetic
I sugarcoat it, fake serotonin
Using artificial happiness or masking true feelings with fake positivity
Can't tell the difference, I barely know it
Feeling disconnected or unfamiliar with one's emotions
Couldn't see, yeah my vision's blurry
Experiencing unclear thoughts or confusion
Shoulda left at 11:30
Regretting not leaving earlier, implying potential mistakes
I guess I'm broken caught in the moment
Feeling emotionally fractured and caught in a difficult situation
Spilled it open, shoulda shut it out
Opened up emotionally when should have kept feelings suppressed
I don't really wanna be a downer
Expressing reluctance to bring others down with negative emotions
But I'm still spinning in my head
Feeling mentally overwhelmed and unable to escape thoughts
Try to wake up and smell the flowers
Attempting to find positivity but struggling due to circumstances
But everybody that I love is dead
Expressing a sense of loss as loved ones are no longer present
Everybody that I love is dead
Reiteration of the loss of loved ones
Friends used to call me for a good time
Reminiscing about the past when friends would seek them out for enjoyable times
Now my texts left on read like the bad guy
Feeling ignored or neglected through unread messages, feeling like a negative influence
I saw this coming, I'm good for nothing
Anticipating negative outcomes, feeling worthless
Just pull the trigger, cause I wanna wake up
Expressing a desire to end the pain and wake up from a difficult situation
And I'm running of reasons to keep breathing
Struggling to find reasons to continue living, feeling isolated
And it fucking sucks that everybody leaves me
Feeling abandoned by everyone, experiencing emotional pain
Oh oh
Oh oh
-Does it ever get easy?
Questioning if the situation will ever become less difficult or painful
I don't really wanna be a downer
Similar to line 11, expressing reluctance to share negative emotions
But I'm still spinning in my head
Continued feeling of mental distress and inability to escape thoughts
Try to wake up and smell the flowers
Attempting to find positivity but struggling due to circumstances (similar to line 13)
But everybody that I love is dead
Reiteration of the loss of loved ones (similar to lines 14 and 15)
Everybody that I love is dead
Continued emphasis on the loss of loved ones (similar to lines 14, 15, and 30)
Maybe I'm afraid
Expressing fear and hesitation, acknowledging pushing people away
I pushed everyone away
Recognizing the action of distancing oneself from others
If I asked u stay
Asking for someone to stay if given the chance
Would you please just stay
Requesting someone's presence and support
I don't really wanna be a downer
Similar to lines 11 and 27, reluctance to express negativity
But I'm still spinning in my head
Continued feeling of mental distress and inability to escape thoughts (similar to lines 12 and 28)
Try to wake up and smell the flowers
Attempting to find positivity but struggling due to circumstances (similar to lines 13, 29, and 39)
But everybody that I love is dead
Reiteration of the loss of loved ones (similar to lines 14, 15, 30, and 31)
Everybody that I love is dead
Continued emphasis on the loss of loved ones (similar to lines 14, 15, 30, 31, and 41)
