Lyrics
Oh sweet paranoia, my old friend
Reflecting on the familiarity of paranoia as a constant companion.
Been trying to hold on but I keep on losing my grip
Struggling to maintain control but continuously slipping away.
I need to get out
Expressing the desire to break free from a confining situation.
Please let me out
Pleading for release from the current state of mind or circumstances.
My ears start ringing, I fade to black

No type of words could save me, catch me
Acknowledging the inability of words to provide salvation or understanding.
I'm sinking, falling, drowning
Describing a sense of sinking, falling, and drowning, possibly metaphorical for emotional struggles.
These ghosts all around me
Feeling haunted by ghosts, suggesting lingering past experiences or memories.
Every thought that I have it is critical
Highlighting the critical nature of every thought, indicating a heightened state of self-awareness.
The weight lifts or it kills me
Facing a choice between the burden lifting or becoming overwhelming.
Hold my head under water
Metaphorically considering submersion, possibly as a means of escape or surrender.
Sometimes I think it might just feel better
Contemplating that certain actions might offer relief or a sense of improvement.
Or that I just need a real friend
Expressing a need for genuine companionship or understanding.
No

I will not play this game anymore

I'm fucking sick and I'm tired of this place
Conveying frustration and exhaustion with the current state of affairs.
It all feels the same anywhere that I look
Perceiving a lack of distinction or uniqueness in the surrounding environment.
No one is different
Challenging societal expectations and dismissing social hierarchies.
Fuck your social status
Rejecting the significance of social standing and status.
I thought high school was over

It's sad that you cared in the first place but you still do

I'm sorry about the disrespect but

How old are you?

Oh, aren't you cool

You're a big man buying out for these underage kids

Just so you can have friends

Find your own fucking party to crash
Encouraging independence and criticizing the act of intruding into others' experiences.
I've had enough
