I Don't Watch The News
Escaping the Tidal Wave: Maisy Brown's Reflection on Modern Chaos
Lyrics
Look at us all stuck in a tidal wave of nothing
Reflecting on a sense of emptiness or insignificance affecting everyone.
I guess it shocked all of us
Expressing surprise or disbelief at the impact of a significant event.
Not much to do when you don't even see it coming
Feeling unprepared for a major event that disrupts life.
Till it's broken everyone
Describing the aftermath of an event that has affected everyone.
And now we're trapped in our heads
Feeling mentally confined or restricted.
Safety feels like a prison cell
Comparing a sense of safety to a prison cell.
Look outside, it looks like hell
Observing a bleak and distressing external environment.
But close your eyes, that hurts as well
Highlighting the difficulty of finding solace, even with closed eyes.
You've seen it once, you've seen it twice
Referencing repeated exposure to distressing events.
Can't shake the nightmares from your mind
Struggling to overcome persistent nightmares.
Day by day, lose track of time
Experiencing a sense of time slipping away.
I don't watch the news anymore
Rejecting the act of consuming news for its negative impact.
I don't watch the news anymore
Reiterating the decision to avoid watching the news.
All we want is for the end to be in sight
Desiring a conclusion or resolution to current challenges.
Give us something to hold on for
Seeking something to provide hope or motivation.
These days nobody sleeps at night
Noticing widespread insomnia or anxiety.
It doesn't matter anymore
Indicating a sense of apathy or resignation.
It's hard to win, harder to lose
Commenting on the challenges of both winning and losing.
But no one knows quite what to do
Expressing a collective uncertainty about how to proceed.
It looks like summer, I don't know
Noting a contrast between external appearance and internal feelings.
Why everything still feels so cold
Questioning the persistence of emotional coldness despite external changes.
Lonely hearts, lonely minds
Describing feelings of isolation and longing.
Missing someone every night
Expressing the pain of missing someone on a nightly basis.
Sitting vacant, wasting time
Conveying a sense of idleness and unproductivity.
I don't watch the news anymore
Reiterating the decision to avoid news consumption for mental well-being.
I don't watch the news anymore
Emphasizing the repeated commitment to not watching the news.
I don't watch the news anymore
Reiterating the decision not to engage with news media.
I don't watch the news anymore
Affirming the persistent choice to avoid news consumption.
You've seen it once, you've seen it twice
Recalling the impact of distressing events on mental well-being.
Can't shake the nightmares from your mind
Acknowledging the difficulty of overcoming recurring nightmares.
Day by day, lose track of time
Describing a gradual loss of awareness of the passage of time.
I don't watch the news anymore
Affirming the decision to distance oneself from news consumption.
I don't watch the news anymore
Repeating the resolution to avoid watching the news.
