Lyrics
It's the feeling when everything's going alright
Describing the sensation when external circumstances seem positive, but an internal struggle is ongoing.
But something deep down is dying inside
Expressing a sense of inner decay or turmoil despite outward appearances of well-being.
Don't know what it is, so you say it's all fine
Acknowledging an inability to identify the source of distress and putting up a facade of being okay.
But no one can see that your hands are tied
Conveying a feeling of being constrained or helpless while trying to maintain a composed exterior.
Am I the only one, is it just me?
Questioning whether the experience of inner conflict is unique or shared by others.
I'm better than I was but I'm still empty
Acknowledging personal improvement, yet a persistent emotional emptiness remains.
I'm playing hide and seek
Introducing the metaphor of "hide and seek" as a symbolic representation of personal search and self-discovery.
And I don't know where to find me
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about one's own identity and whereabouts in the metaphorical hide and seek game.
And the days turn into weeks
Highlighting the passage of time and the fear of losing oneself during the search.
I'm so scared that I'll never find me
Conveying a deep fear of never finding oneself amid the ongoing personal quest.
Lie to yourself, like they all did
Encouraging self-deception as a coping mechanism, drawing parallels with others who have done the same.
Don't know how to let it out, so you take a deep breath again
Describing difficulty in expressing inner struggles, resorting to deep breaths as a way to cope.
I don't feel awake, I'm in a dream
Feeling detached from reality, as if living in a dreamlike state.
It makes no sense, I don't even know what I mean
Expressing confusion and a lack of understanding about one's own feelings and thoughts.
Mascara-free eyes in my darker days
Contrasting the external appearance of being makeup-free with the internal struggles during darker times.
Sunshine on my skin, but I feel the shade
Experiencing a contradiction of feeling shadows despite being in the sunshine.
I'm playing hide and seek
Reiterating the metaphor of hide and seek, emphasizing the ongoing quest for self-discovery.
And I don't know where to find me
Expressing the continued confusion and uncertainty about one's own identity and location in the metaphorical game.
And the days turn into weeks
Highlighting the persistence of time and the anxiety about losing oneself during the ongoing search.
I'm so scared that I'll never find me
Conveying a deep fear of never finding oneself amid the ongoing personal quest.
Call 911, call 911
Using "911" metaphorically to signify a crisis or urgent call for help in the face of personal struggles.
Tell them that somebody's gone on the run
Describing someone's departure or escape, possibly from inner turmoil.
