Lyrics
On a scale of one to Plath I'm like a four
Expressing a level of distress on a scale, comparing to Sylvia Plath, with four being moderately distressed.
My head's not in the oven but I can't get off the floor
Despite not reaching the extremity of Sylvia Plath's tragic end, struggling to overcome a difficult situation.
It's not that bad, I won't take it too far
Acknowledging the situation is not excessively dire, expressing resistance to magnifying the issues.
I see a good shrink and hey dream boy's no bell jar
Having a positive outlook by seeking professional help, referencing Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" and the character Dream Boy.
I'm not fine but I'll be okay
Admitting to not being completely well but expressing a hopeful attitude.
I probably won't kill myself today
A declaration of the intention to continue living today, rejecting thoughts of suicide.
Woolf took a dip with some rocks in her pockets
Referencing Virginia Woolf's tragic end, drawing parallels to personal struggles but not reaching the same extreme.
I'd say comparatively, I've got a bad case of the fuck-its
Expressing a sense of apathy or disillusionment in comparison to others, adopting a casual attitude towards life's challenges.
It's not that bad and I'm told I'll be fine
Highlighting a positive perspective given by others about the situation, juxtaposed with personal feelings of distress.
But it feels like shit right now, so just let me whine
Acknowledging the potential improvement in the future but expressing current emotional pain and a need to vent.
I'm not fine but I'll be okay
Reiterating the acknowledgment of current struggles but maintaining a hopeful outlook for the future.
I probably won't kill myself today
Reaffirming the decision to continue living today, rejecting suicidal thoughts.
The sun rose for Hemingway when he was twenty-seven
Referencing Ernest Hemingway's life trajectory and success, acknowledging a personal doubt in achieving a similar outcome.
I've got a couple of years but I doubt it's gonna happen
Expressing skepticism about reaching a successful or fulfilling life at a similar age.
I'm pretty fucking jaded for someone my age
Conveying a sense of cynicism and weariness despite being relatively young.
But I don't have any plans with Ernie's twelve-gauge
Rejecting the idea of self-harm with a firearm associated with Ernest Hemingway.
I'm not fine but I'll be okay
Acknowledging ongoing struggles but maintaining a positive outlook for the future.
I probably won't kill myself today
Reiterating the commitment to life today, rejecting thoughts of suicide.
I'm not okay but I guess I'll be fine
