Lyrics
Life's okay, I'm looking backwards through the wrong side of the screen
Life feels acceptable, but I'm perceiving things from a negative perspective, possibly feeling detached or disconnected.
It's a lifetime show for freaks
Life seems like an ongoing spectacle meant for those who are perceived as different or unconventional.
And watch your pace, I'm laughing loudest when I want to walk away
I often laugh the loudest when I actually desire to leave the situation, indicating a performative nature in social interactions.
It's performative and sheen
These interactions appear staged or artificial, lacking authenticity.
Let's meet for drinks, let's try to be social (Meet for drinks, let's try to be social)
Suggesting to meet up and attempt to engage socially, but it results in not truly connecting with anyone.
But when I leave I know I've met no one
Despite meeting people, I feel like I haven't truly made any meaningful connections or met anyone significant.
I wish someone had told me it's ok to be lonely
Expressing a desire for someone to have reassured that it's acceptable to feel lonely.
I wish someone had told me it's ok to be lonely
Reiteration of the desire for validation that feeling lonely is acceptable.
Let's get involved without an ounce of love
Suggesting involvement without genuine emotional attachment or affection.
It's scarier to be alone than here with me
Implying that being alone is more frightening than being in a less-than-ideal relationship.
And stay for years
Staying in a situation despite it not being the best, finding some form of comfort or stability.
It's not a good spot but I've found somewhere to be
Discovering a somewhat acceptable place or situation, albeit not perfect.
A complacent kind of peace
Finding contentment in a mediocre or unexciting peace.
And we won't have to think while we're touching (We won't have to think while we're touching)
Suggesting physical intimacy as a means to avoid thinking or confronting deeper emotions.
But when we kiss you know it means nothing
Despite physical closeness, realizing that emotional connection is lacking.
I wish someone had told me it's ok to be lonely
Reiterating the wish for acknowledgment that it's okay to experience loneliness.
