Do U Wanna Talk About It
Unveiling Emotional Turmoil: Navigating Post-Breakup Attachment Anxiety
Lyrics
This story is classic
This situation is a common one, familiar and often seen.
It is textbook fear of attachment after a breakup
It reflects a fear of emotional connection after a breakup, following a well-known pattern or archetype.
Follow the trend that I'll drift away from my closest friends and they'll think I hate them
Anticipating a drift away from close friends due to a perceived change in behavior, leading them to think there's animosity.
So my dearest, I think of you often and fondly
Expressing frequent thoughts and fond memories of a significant other.
I swear I would call you but there's something that stops me
Despite the desire to reach out, there's an internal barrier preventing communication.
It's irrational I know
Acknowledging that the barrier is illogical or unreasonable.
Every time I pick up the phone
Feeling hesitant or anxious every time there's an attempt to make contact.
I'll think that you've got better things to do than hang with me so I'll leave you alone
Believing that the other person might have better things to do, leading to avoidance to not bother them.
And I wanna claw my watering eyes out every time I open my mouth
Experiencing intense emotional distress, wanting to express feelings but feeling incapable.
Just to choke on the words as they reverse back through my throat
Struggling to vocalize thoughts or emotions, leading to a feeling of suffocation.
Return to the black hole in my head where they'll echo
Thoughts or words seem to get lost or absorbed in a negative space within the mind.
It's relentless
Describing the relentless nature of these thoughts or feelings.
They will circle like sharks
Comparing persistent thoughts to circling sharks, indicating a threatening or overwhelming nature.
When I cry there's no catharsis
No emotional relief or release despite crying.
And the waves I expected to rock me to sleep escalate
Expecting emotional waves to soothe but instead experiencing their escalation into turmoil.
They turn against me
Feeling as though these emotional waves are turning against rather than supporting.
I'm confessing my fragility
Admitting vulnerability and fragility in expressing these emotions.
I've been floating on the surface
Keeping afloat on the surface, avoiding deeper emotional exploration to minimize pain.
Where it hurts less
Acknowledging that staying on the surface causes less emotional pain.
Where it's easy to ignore my own contents
Choosing to ignore or avoid facing inner emotional turmoil.
But I can't contain this anymore
Feeling unable to suppress or control emotions any longer.
I can't contain this anymore
Reaching a breaking point, unable to keep emotions contained.
