Stuck
Navigating Chaos: Embracing Roller Coasters of Emotion in Liz Lieber's 'Stuck'
Lyrics
When you feel out of control
Feeling a lack of control
You see a fire at the end of the road
Noticing a challenge or obstacle ahead
Do you lose part of your soul
Experiencing a sense of losing oneself
When everything is spirals and smoke
Feeling overwhelmed by chaos and confusion
I’m on a roller coaster
Describing an emotional roller coaster
I’m on the ceiling
Feeling disoriented or upside down
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Consequences of being emotionally stuck
My mind is overflowing and I can’t conceal it
Being unable to contain thoughts and emotions
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Reiterating the effects of emotional entrapment
When your dreams are tied up and choked
Describing entangled and constrained dreams
Your heart is burning with nowhere to go
Feeling intense emotional pain and confinement
Running fast and walking alone
Engaging in a futile pursuit alone
Straight into spirals and smoke
Heading towards further confusion and chaos
I’m on a roller coaster
Repetition of the emotional roller coaster metaphor
I’m on the ceiling
Continued feeling of being upside down or disoriented
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Reiterating the consequences of emotional entrapment
My mind is overflowing and I can’t conceal it
Unable to hide or control overflowing thoughts
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Reemphasizing the effects of being emotionally stuck
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Repetition for emphasis
Oh, am I wasting my time?
Questioning the worthiness of time investment
You hold me close and leave when I cry
Experiencing emotional distance despite closeness
Oh, am I losing my mind?
Questioning one's mental stability
I’m on a roller coaster
Reiteration of the emotional roller coaster metaphor
I’m on the ceiling
Continued feeling of being upside down or disoriented
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Reiterating the consequences of emotional entrapment
My mind is overflowing and I can’t conceal it
Unable to hide or control overflowing thoughts
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Reemphasizing the effects of being emotionally stuck
I’m on a roller coaster
Repetition of the emotional roller coaster metaphor
I’m on the ceiling
Continued feeling of being upside down or disoriented
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Reiterating the consequences of emotional entrapment
My mind is overflowing and I can’t conceal it
Unable to hide or control overflowing thoughts
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Reemphasizing the effects of being emotionally stuck
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Repetition for emphasis
This is what happens when I’m stuck on a feeling
Final repetition to underscore the impact of emotional entrapment
