Lyrics
Good morning good evening
Expressing greetings both in the morning and evening.
I wish I could see you
Expressing a desire to see someone.
But my eyes are blinded by the things that I believe in
Acknowledging personal blindness caused by strong beliefs.
Oh no
Expressing concern or realization.
Stuck under the bridge of the visions
Feeling trapped between conflicting visions.
That I keep seeing or the stitches that keep healing
Reference to recurring visions or emotional wounds healing.
Lord knows I've got too many
Acknowledging having too many emotional burdens.
Things on my plate, stepping up
Feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities.
Against all of the things I hate
Expressing opposition to things disliked.
I guess that's just the stupid part of
Reflecting on the challenges of growing up.
Growing up
Accepting the inevitable, less favorable aspects of maturity.
Taking things in stride used to be
Formerly adept at handling challenges gracefully.
My specialty
Highlighting a change in approach to difficulties.
But this time
Recognition of a significant event or circumstance.
Oh this time
Repetition for emphasis, signaling a critical moment.
Wishing I could flatline, past nine
Expressing a desire to escape emotionally, perhaps through detachment.
Seeing you with them I could lie
Observing someone with others and wishing to pretend indifference.
And really tell you I'm fine I'm fine
Expressing a desire to convey well-being despite inner turmoil.
But I'm really not that guy
Acknowledging a personal struggle with identity.
Wishing I could flatline flatline
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to emotionally detach.
Wishing I could flatline flatline
-Wishing I could flatline flatline
-Wishing I could flatline flatline
-Can you see inside my soul
Pondering if someone can understand the depths of the speaker's soul.
Because I doubt you want to know what's in it
Expressing doubt about the desirability of knowing the speaker's inner thoughts.
For your own sake or mine
Weighing the potential consequences of revealing oneself.
Hold me close just one last time
Seeking physical closeness for a temporary escape from reality.
So I can pretend you didn't lie
Wishing to believe a comforting lie about a past interaction.
When you looked at them far more
Observing unequal attention given to others, causing emotional pain.
Than you did me
Comparing attention received unfavorably.
Wishing I could flatline, past nine
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to emotionally detach.
Seeing you with them I could lie
Observing someone with others and wishing to pretend indifference.
And really tell you I'm fine I'm fine
Expressing a desire to convey well-being despite inner turmoil.
But I'm really not that guy
Acknowledging a personal struggle with identity.
Wishing I could flatline flatline
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to emotionally detach.
Wishing I could flatline flatline
-Wishing I could flatline flatline
-Wishing I could flatline flatline
