Lyrics
There's a monster on my page and
Expressing the presence of a challenging or unsettling situation represented as a "monster" on the speaker's page.
I can't rub her out
Unable to erase or eliminate this challenging presence.
There's a city all around me
Feeling surrounded by a city, possibly symbolizing a bustling and overwhelming environment.
And it's getting too loud
The surrounding noise or chaos becoming too intense for the speaker.
Though we try really hard to feel pleasure
Despite efforts, struggling to find joy or satisfaction.
To feel finished i step into the shower and
Seeking solace or renewal in the act of taking a shower.
Try not to feel diminished
Attempting to avoid feeling diminished or lessened by challenges.
I'm going to sit here in the dark
Choosing solitude in the dark, contemplating making a lasting impression.
And hope one day I make my mark on you
Expressing a desire to leave a significant impact on someone.
It's all I long to do
Indicating that making an impact is the primary aspiration.
I belong to me and to my heart
Affirming ownership of oneself and one's emotions.
I hope one day that I can stop, can stop
Expressing a hope to break free from the need for external validation.
Can stop trying to please you
Stating the desire to stop trying to please others.
Do you know what I've done to
Reflecting on the sacrifices made for the acknowledgment or approval represented by a handshake.
My mind for your handshake?
Specifically, the impact on the speaker's mind caused by seeking validation.
It was the first one I got that
Recalling the significance of the first validation received.
Just wants to feel a pancake
Comparing the desire for approval to a simple and relatable pleasure (a pancake).
Though we try really hard to feel
Despite efforts, feeling isolated in one's struggles.
No one else is broken
Rejecting the notion that the speaker is the only one facing difficulties.
This is my damn song and I'll
Asserting control over the narrative and the song.
End it when I'm done
Deciding when to conclude or end the personal narrative represented by the song.
I'm going to sit here in the dark
Reiterating the choice to be alone in contemplation.
And hope one day I make my mark on you
Reaffirming the desire to leave a lasting impact on someone.
It's all I long to do
Emphasizing that making a mark is the primary aspiration.
I belong to me and to my heart
Reasserting ownership of oneself and emotions.
I hope one day that I can stop, can stop
Expressing hope to break free from the need for external validation.
Can stop trying to please you
Reiterating the desire to stop trying to please others.
Trying to please you trying to please you
Repeated emphasis on the struggle to please someone.
Trying to please you
Continued acknowledgment of the challenge of seeking approval.
I'm going to sit here in the dark
Reiterating the choice to be alone in contemplation.
And hope one day I make my mark on you
Reaffirming the desire to leave a lasting impact on someone.
It's all I long to do
Emphasizing that making a mark is the primary aspiration.
I belong to me and to my heart
Reasserting ownership of oneself and emotions.
I hope one day that I can stop, can stop
Expressing hope to break free from the need for external validation.
Can stop trying to please you
Concluding the desire to stop trying to please others.
