I'm A Mess
Embracing Chaos: Finding Connection in Sadness
Lyrics
Back to zero once again
Expressing a sense of starting over or resetting from the beginning.
After months of getting better now I'm here again
Despite making progress, the speaker finds themselves back in a difficult situation after months.
I guess I'm better off this way
Believing that the current state of being a mess is preferable or more suitable.
Who would ever want to see me happy?
Questioning if anyone would want to witness the speaker's happiness.
Oh, I'm a mess but don't you just love it
Acknowledging personal chaos but suggesting that others find it endearing.
Sadness is what connects everybody
Positing that sadness is a universal experience that unites people.
No one wants to hear a happy song
Claiming that upbeat songs are unpopular or unwelcome.
Yeah, I'm a mess but you know you love it
Reiterating the speaker's messy state and asserting that others find it appealing.
Come on, come on, can't get enough of it
Encouraging others to embrace and enjoy the speaker's chaotic condition.
If I ever find a way out I'll just jump back in
If the speaker finds a way to escape their mess, they express a willingness to dive back into it.
'Cause that's how you like me
Stating that the speaker's messiness aligns with the preferences of others.
I don't see the sun anymore
Describing a lack of sunlight, possibly indicating emotional darkness.
It seems to run away from me
Suggesting that positive elements (sunlight) avoid the speaker.
Almost had it in my grasp
Almost achieving something positive but losing it.
But it slipped right through my fingers
Failure to maintain a positive experience, symbolized by something slipping away.
Yeah, I'm a mess but don't you just love it
Repeating the acknowledgment of being a mess and emphasizing its charm.
Sadness is what connects everybody
Reiterating the idea that shared sadness connects people.
No one wants to hear a happy song

Yeah, I'm a mess but you know you love it
Restating the speaker's chaotic state and asserting its likability.
Come on, come on, can't get enough of it
Encouraging others to embrace and enjoy the speaker's chaotic condition.
If I ever find a way out I'll just jump back in
Expressing a willingness to return to a messy state if the speaker finds a way out.
'Cause that's how you like me
Asserting that being a mess is preferable to others.
And I try to run
Attempting to escape the current state.
'Cause I can't keep going this way
Acknowledging the difficulty of sustaining the current path.
But when I get on my feet
Despite efforts, the speaker repeatedly falls back into a messy state.
I fall again and again and again and again
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of the speaker's struggles.
Oh, I'm a mess but don't you just love it
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being a mess and highlighting its appeal.
