All That
Navigating Solitude: Matthew Mozingo's Reflections on Self-Discovery
Lyrics
It's not that I don't need it
Expressing that the speaker acknowledges a need.
It's not that I got demons, girl
Denying the presence of personal struggles or inner demons.
I don't need a reason
Stating that there's no specific justification required.
To say I need to be alone
Declaring a desire for solitude without providing a specific reason.
Gotta take time for myself
Highlighting the importance of taking time for self-care.
Gotta stick by myself
Emphasizing the preference for individuality and independence.
Playing these cards myself
Indicating a solo journey, possibly in life or decision-making.
Talkin' bout me like I'm all bad
Addressing gossip or criticism about the speaker's character.
Got me really 'bout to fall back
Feeling compelled to step back from a situation due to negative perceptions.
Tangled up when we was all that, yeah
Reflecting on a past time when things were better or more harmonious.
Told you everything already
Asserting that full disclosure has already taken place.
You know I can't lie
Affirming honesty, an inability to lie to the listener.
Told you that I wasn't ready
Admitting to not being prepared for a certain situation or commitment.
You can't deny
Acknowledging the undeniable truth of the previous statement.
Never said nothing that I didn't mean
Stating a commitment to sincerity in communication.
But I've been so cold to you
Acknowledging a past emotional distance or coldness.
Maybe I'm trying to get by
Suggesting a struggle or effort to overcome challenges.
Maybe I'm trying to get by
Repeating the theme of trying to cope or survive difficulties.
Maybe I'm trying to get by
Reiterating the theme of attempting to endure or persevere.
Maybe I'm trying to get by
Emphasizing the continuous effort to navigate challenges.
It's not that I don't need it
Repeating the acknowledgment of a need without specifying it.
It's not that I got demons, girl
Restating the absence of personal demons or internal struggles.
I don't need a reason
Reiterating that no specific justification is required for the desire for solitude.
To say I need to be alone
Reaffirming the need to be alone without providing explicit reasons.
Gotta take time for myself
Emphasizing the importance of self-care and personal time.
Gotta stick by myself
Reiterating the preference for individuality and self-reliance.
Playing these cards myself
Highlighting an independent approach in decision-making or actions.
Talkin' bout me like I'm all bad
Responding to negative perceptions or judgments about the speaker's character.
Got me really 'bout to fall back
Expressing a strong reaction to the possibility of stepping back due to criticism.
Tangled up when we was all that, yeah
Recalling a time when the speaker and the listener shared a special connection.
