Quarantine Blues
September's Wake: Navigating Quarantine's Emotional Turmoil
Lyrics
I'm comin' down
I am feeling a sense of descent or decline.
You're comin' down
You are also experiencing a decline or low point.
Tell me now
Ask me now about your current feelings.
You feel it now?
Are you currently feeling the impact?
You're comin' round
You are starting to recover or improve.
You're breaking down
You are emotionally breaking down.
You hear the sound
You notice or perceive a sound.
You feel me now?
You sense my presence now.
I can remember
Recalling a memory.
The cold of the winter
Remembering the cold of a past winter.
Bringing me down again
The cold is causing a negative emotional state.
I miss all of my friends
Missing friends during a difficult time.
Is this what you really wanted?
Questioning if this is the desired outcome.
You hold the skeleton key
You have control or access to a crucial element.
So wake me up in September
Request to be awakened in September.
I think this quarantine has got to me
Feeling the impact of quarantine negatively.
And I can't be who you want me to be
Unable to conform to expectations.
I guarantee I'm doing what's right for me
Asserting independence and doing what's best.
So wake me up in September
Reiteration of the request to be awakened in September.
I think this quarantine has got to me
Reiteration of the negative impact of quarantine.
I'm comin' down
Experiencing a descent or low point.
You're breathing now
You are currently alive or active.
My hands are bound
Feeling restricted or helpless.
I'm melting down
Undergoing a strong emotional breakdown.
You take the wind
Allowing influence or manipulation.
You're making friends
Forming connections or alliances.
I don't like
Expressing dissatisfaction.
The way this ends
Disliking the way a situation concludes.
And I can't pretend that
Admitting inability to pretend.
You're any different
Perceiving someone as unchanged.
You're smug and pretentious
Describing someone as self-satisfied and arrogant.
Your dad raised you, princess
Implying a privileged upbringing.
And I can remember the cold of the winter
Recalling the negative emotions of winter despite efforts.
Despite how I'm trying
Despite best efforts, facing emotional breakdowns.
You're breaking me down again
Experiencing emotional breakdowns again.
I never knew the world could be so heartless
Realization of the world's harshness.
I'm sick of waking up and drowning in the darkness
Frustration with constant emotional struggles.
You gon' think of what you think of my regardless
Indifference to opinions, focusing on self.
Can't take no more
Expressing an inability to endure further.
Is this what you really wanted?
Repeating the question about desired outcomes.
You hold the skeleton key
Retaining control or access to a crucial element.
So wake me up in September
Repetition of the request to be awakened in September.
I think this quarantine has got to me
Reiteration of the negative impact of quarantine.
And I can't be who you want me to be
Unable to conform to external expectations.
I guarantee I'm doing what's right for me
Assertion of independence and doing what's right.
So wake me up in September
Final repetition of the request to be awakened in September.
I think this quarantine has got to me
Final reiteration of the negative impact of quarantine.
