Lyrics
My mouth tastes like soap
Experiencing an unpleasant taste, possibly metaphorical for regret or a negative experience.
I must have washed it out the night before
Suggesting an attempt to cleanse or erase the past actions or experiences.
And my food has gone cold
Indicating emotional detachment or disinterest, leading to neglect of basic needs like eating.
Cuz I won't leave my room
Choosing isolation, possibly as a coping mechanism or a way to avoid facing challenges.
And all I can do is just sit here and wish
Expressing a sense of regret and contemplation about past decisions and their consequences.
If I'd done some things different then I would be missed
Reflecting on missed opportunities and a desire for a different outcome in life.
But I chose the wrong people, I should've had some more faith in me
Acknowledging poor choices in relationships and the need for self-belief and trust.
Maybe then I'd feel less like my days are just blurred into weeks
Describing a feeling of time passing without significant achievements, possibly due to self-doubt.
I'm sorry mum I'm trying
Expressing an apology to the speaker's mother and a commitment to change or improve.
I'd change my t-shirt if I could
Symbolizing a desire for personal transformation, starting with a simple act like changing clothes.
I hate to see you like this
Feeling remorseful about the impact of the speaker's choices on a loved one.
But my voice has turned to rotting wood
Indicating a loss of vocal strength or the inability to communicate effectively.
I guess my eyes grew tired as I grew up
Expressing weariness and fatigue associated with the challenges of growing up.
No one told me that living this long would be hard
Highlighting the unexpected difficulties of a prolonged life, possibly contrasting with earlier expectations.
And I'm working to keep myself floating above but sometimes I'll fall under
Struggling to maintain emotional stability and sometimes succumbing to the pressures.
Sorry it's not enough
Apologizing for falling short and recognizing the insufficiency of one's efforts.
And I wish I could promise I'm making it through
Expressing a desire to reassure someone that the speaker is enduring challenges.
I'm working as hard as I can back to you
Conveying a commitment to working hard to return to a significant person or relationship.
From every word I can't get out
Struggling to express oneself verbally and feeling a sense of inhibition.
To the clothes on the floor of my room
Symbolizing disorder or chaos in personal space, reflecting inner turmoil.
I'm making my way back to you
Expressing a determination to reconnect and rebuild a strained connection.
I'm making my way back to you
Reiterating the commitment to the journey of returning to someone important.
I'm making my way back to you
Continuing the theme of returning, emphasizing the effort to bridge emotional distance.
I'm making my way back to you
Reaffirming the commitment to making the necessary efforts to reunite with a loved one.
I'll make my way back to you
Expressing determination and commitment to eventually reconnect with the person addressed.
