Replace Me
Replace Me: Navigating Inner Turmoil with Bottled Solutions
Lyrics
You were afraid of what you've become
The person is fearful or apprehensive about their current state or identity.
Fighting the fears of when you were younger
Struggling with fears or insecurities from their past.
But you're drifting away
Despite feeling disconnected, there are lingering emotions or attachments.
But the feelings remain they stay strong
Strong emotions persist even though the person feels detached.
But I don't know about it all
Uncertainty or lack of understanding about the situation.
Just tell me where you go when you're sick of it all
Asking where the person escapes to when overwhelmed.
To breathe underwater when I'm drowning in my head
Metaphorically describing feeling suffocated or overwhelmed mentally.
My mind is working overtime
Experiencing intense mental activity, possibly trying to solve problems.
To fix your problems instead of mine and she said
Feeling the need to solve the other person's problems instead of their own.
I'm just a closed book you better leave me on the shelf just go
Feeling emotionally closed off, suggesting the other person should leave.
Replace me with some bottled alcoholic help, I know
Suggesting the other person replaces them with alcohol to cope.
It just too far to go
Expressing distance or difficulty in bridging a gap.
And I know, I know
Reiterating awareness of difficulty.
It's still too just to go and I've lost it all
Feeling like everything has been lost.
And I know, I know
Repeating the feeling of being aware of a loss.
Did you play games inside of my head
Questioning if the other person manipulated emotions.
'Cause I can't find a reason to give in
Struggling to find a reason to give in or concede.
Undecided but unprepared to even try to
Feeling uncertain but unwilling to attempt.
Breathe underwater when I'm drowning in my head
Repeating the feeling of suffocation or mental drowning.
My mind is working overtime
Continued intense mental activity focused on solving problems.
To fix those problems instead of mine and she said
Still feeling compelled to solve the other person's problems.
I'm just a closed book you better leave me on the shelf
Emphasizing emotional closure and suggesting departure.
Just go replace me with some bottled alcoholic help, I know
Reiterating the suggestion to replace oneself with alcohol for coping.
It just too far to go
Feeling distant or disconnected, reiterating difficulty.
And I know and I know
Reiterating awareness of distance or difficulty.
It's just too far to go and I've lost it all
Repeating the feeling of everything being lost.
But I don't know why, way down deep inside
Confusion about the reasons deep within for feeling this way.
You're wondering why
Wondering about the underlying reasons for confusion.
But I don't know why, way down deep inside
Reiterating confusion about underlying reasons.
You're wondering why
-I'm just a closed book you better leave me on the shelf
Emphasizing emotional closure and suggesting departure.
Just go replace me with some bottled alcoholic help, I know
Reiterating the suggestion to replace oneself with alcohol for coping.
It just too far to go
Feeling distant or disconnected, reiterating difficulty.
And I know and I know
Reiterating awareness of distance or difficulty.
It's just too far to go and I've lost it all
Repeating the feeling of everything being lost.
I'm just a closed book you better leave me on the shelf
Emphasizing emotional closure and suggesting departure.
Just go replace me with some bottled alcoholic help, I know
Reiterating the suggestion to replace oneself with alcohol for coping.
It still too far to go
Feeling distant or disconnected, reiterating difficulty.
And I know, I know
Reiterating awareness of distance or difficulty.
It's just to far to go and I've lost it all
Repeating the feeling of everything being lost.
