Lyrics

Everybody says these are the best years

Expressing a common belief that these years are considered the best, but the speaker wishes to be elsewhere.

But everyday I wish I was further from here

Despite the societal perception, the speaker desires to be away from their current situation every day.

Everybody says you're so honest

Acknowledging that others see the speaker as truthful.

But if you knew the truth

Hinting that there's a hidden truth, and if known, it might not be desirable.

I don't think you'd want it

Reiterating the potential undesirability of the hidden truth.


No, I don't think you'd want it

Emphasizing skepticism about others accepting the truth if revealed.


I know all the cracks on the ceiling

Knowledge of the details in the surroundings, possibly indicating a sense of confinement or stagnation.

Memorize everywhere the paint is peeling

Memorizing the deteriorating aspects, reflecting a focus on negativity.

Trace my body down on the carpet

Symbolic act of tracing oneself on the carpet, seeking reassurance or grounding.

Try to tell myself that I haven't lost it

Attempting self-reassurance, denying a perceived loss or decline in mental well-being.


(That I haven't lost it)

Repeating the denial, possibly indicating internal struggle.


I don't know why I'm

Expressing confusion or lack of understanding about current actions.

Wasting my time

Acknowledging a sense of wasted time or efforts.

Trying to get it right

Struggling to achieve correctness or satisfaction.


Another trip around the sun

Reflecting on another year passing, a metaphor for the passage of time.

And I'm still coming undone

Despite the time passing, the speaker still feels emotionally unsettled.

Thought I'd have it figured out by now

Expectation of having life figured out by now, but the reality is different.

I'm upside down, and I don't know where to run

Feeling disoriented and without direction.

Another day slipping away

Another day slipping away, possibly indicating a sense of losing time or opportunities.

But I keep putting on a face

Maintaining a facade despite internal struggles.

Thought I'd have it figured out by now

Discrepancy between expectations and reality regarding life's clarity.

I'm upside down

Continuing to feel disoriented and emotionally distressed.

Screaming I'm okay

Expressing a facade of being okay while internally screaming.


On the way down in a spiral

Descending into a metaphorical spiral of emotional turmoil.

Nervous I've been doing for quite a while

Acknowledging ongoing nervousness, possibly due to unresolved issues.

Let me know when it's safe to come out

Seeking a signal or confirmation to emerge from emotional struggles.

Losing track of how long I've been in the house

Losing track of time spent in isolation or emotional distress.


I don't know why (don't know why)

Repeating the confusion about current actions.

I'm wasting my time (wasting time)

Reiterating the sense of wasted time or efforts.

Trying to get it right

Continuing the struggle to achieve correctness or satisfaction.
