Tonight
Navigating Inner Turmoil: Matt Saxton's Melodic Journey Through Struggle
Lyrics
I drive my car on my own when I’m angry and I scream and shout
I express my anger by driving alone and shouting.
I get back home and I feel a little calmer than I did before
After venting, I return home and feel somewhat calmer.
I climb in bed but there’s no way that I’m ever going to fall asleep
Despite being in bed, I struggle to fall asleep.
And I don’t know where it comes from but it grips me and I’m feeling ill, I need a pill tonight
An unidentified feeling makes me sick, and I consider taking a pill.
I get up early and I only eat a little just to make me strong, I’m moving on
I wake up early and eat minimally for strength, indicating resilience.
No one knows what I have been through because I keep it all locked away, is that’s OK?
I keep my struggles hidden, questioning if it's acceptable.
I climb in bed but there’s no way that I’m ever going to fall asleep, I’m counting sheep
Similar to line 4, I find it hard to sleep and resort to counting sheep.
And I don’t know where it comes from but it grips me and I’m feeling ill, I need a pill tonight
The unidentified feeling persists, and I consider taking a pill again.
I take the pills tonight, I take the pills tonight
I decide to take pills to address the emotional distress.
I take the pills tonight
-I drive my car on my own when I’m angry and I scream and shout, let it out
A repetition of line 1, emphasizing the coping mechanism of driving and shouting.
I get back home and I feel a little calmer than I did before, my voice is raw
After expressing anger, I return home, feeling raw but slightly calmer.
I climb in bed but there’s no way that I’m ever going to fall asleep, I’m in too deep
The difficulty in sleeping persists, and I feel emotionally overwhelmed.
And I don’t know where it comes from but it grips me and I’m feeling ill, I need a pill tonight, tonight
The persistent, unidentified emotional turmoil leads me to consider taking a pill tonight.
