Lyrics
Black coffee early in the morning
Starting the day with simplicity, perhaps facing reality without embellishments.
Wake up tangled in your arms
Waking up in an intimate embrace, feeling physically connected.
I do not mean to cause alarm
Expressing that there's no intention to cause concern or distress.
But I could never give you more
Acknowledging limitations in giving more, suggesting a self-aware approach.
Than this 'cause this is all I got
Stating the current situation is all that's available to offer.
Another fucked up caveat
Highlighting imperfections or complications in the current state of affairs.
I got so high that I forgot
Admitting to getting high and losing touch with reality temporarily.
That I'm no better than I seem
Recognizing personal flaws and being honest about them.
Some words I'll never try to say
Referring to certain words that won't be expressed.
How I loved you more and more each day
Expressing increasing love over time.
The way you sway your hips as you put
Describing admiration for the way someone moves, possibly in nostalgia.
Your favorite records on but me
Expressing dislike for oneself, extending to bodily functions.
I even hate the way I breathe
Strong aversion to personal attributes and existence.
I hate the grass I hate the trees
Expressing disdain for nature and surroundings.
The way my hair blows in the breeze
Disliking personal traits, even mundane things like the way hair moves.
Whatever isn't cruel to me
Preferring things that don't cause harm or distress.
Double my meds and stay in bed
Increasing medication, possibly as a coping mechanism.
I can't feel anything again
Feeling emotionally numb, detached from sensations.
My face, my arms, my common sense
Losing touch with one's physical self and logical reasoning.
I never should've let you in but
Regretting letting someone into one's life.
Now is now and then is then
Recognizing the present moment and past as distinct.
Who could it really hurt again
Questioning the potential harm of certain actions.
Who could it hurt
Raising the question of who the actions could harm.
Black coffee early in the morning
Repeating the image of black coffee in the morning, possibly a metaphor for simplicity.
Wake up tangled up alone
Waking up alone, emphasizing solitude.
I do not mean to cause alarm
Repeating the intent of not causing alarm, stating preference for solitude.
In fact most days it's preferable
Highlighting the acceptability of solitude on most days.
'Cause this is all that I have got
Reiterating that the current state is all there is.
I'm trying not to fuck it up
Expressing effort to avoid ruining the current state.
I'm trying not to get stuck
Striving not to become stuck in negative patterns or emotions.
