Navigating Emotional Turmoil: Reflections on Self-Doubt and Isolation
Lyrics
I know this feeling's only temporary
The speaker acknowledges that the current emotional state is temporary.
But it feels like everything's been this way forever
Despite being temporary, the emotional turmoil feels like a prolonged and enduring situation.
Acting exactly how I was a couple years ago
The speaker recognizes a pattern of behavior resembling that of a few years ago.
And justifying shitty behavior
Justifying and excusing negative behavior, possibly as a coping mechanism.
I sell myself short out of fear of unknown territory
The speaker compromises self-worth due to fear of the unknown.
And that is nothing short of shameful
Feeling shame for undervaluing oneself.
And I've been pinching myself in the arm
The speaker resorts to self-harm metaphorically, possibly to awaken from the emotional numbness.
Way passed the point of where it's beginning to be painful
The self-harming behavior has become excessively painful.
I'm not eating well or sleeping
Decline in physical health - poor eating and sleeping habits.
I'm too busy overthinking
Busy with overthinking, leading to neglect of basic needs.
And the worst part is no one is speaking of it
No one is openly discussing the struggles, creating a sense of isolation.
I can't fathom what I'm hearing
Difficulty comprehending or accepting what is being heard or experienced.
My conscience is disappearing
A moral compass or sense of right and wrong is diminishing.
And the whole world is afraid of speaking of it
A collective fear prevents open discussions about difficult issues in the world.
Whenever I get close to anybody
Difficulties in forming close relationships as people distance themselves.
They just run away and say it wasn't my fault
Others blame themselves and avoid honesty when relationships falter.
For once I'd love a little honesty
The speaker desires honesty in relationships for a more authentic connection.
Cause' honestly it's better when it's right from the start
Authenticity is preferable right from the beginning of a relationship.
And I get in my head and contemplate scenarios
The speaker tends to overthink and imagine negative scenarios.
That haven't even actually happened
Overthinking leads to contemplating unreal situations.
And when I drink too much my capability
Excessive drinking impairs the ability to make positive changes.
For implementing any changes is absent
Under the influence, the capacity for positive actions diminishes.
I'm not eating well or sleeping
Repetition of the decline in physical health due to overthinking.
I'm too busy overthinking
Continued neglect of basic needs due to overthinking.
And the worst part is no one is speaking of it
Reiteration of the lack of open dialogue about personal struggles.
I can't fathom what I'm hearing
Repeating the difficulty in comprehending or accepting troubling information.
My conscience is disappearing
Repetition of the diminishing moral compass or sense of right and wrong.
And the whole world is afraid of speaking of it
Reiteration of the collective fear preventing open discussions.
I'm not eating well or sleeping
Repetition of the decline in physical health due to overthinking.
I'm too busy overthinking
Continued neglect of basic needs due to overthinking.
And the worst part is no one is speaking of it
Reiteration of the lack of open dialogue about personal struggles.
I can't fathom what I'm hearing
Repeating the difficulty in comprehending or accepting troubling information.
My conscience is disappearing
Repetition of the diminishing moral compass or sense of right and wrong.
And the whole world is afraid of speaking of it
Reiteration of the collective fear preventing open discussions.
