Lyrics
Shut
Command to shut
Shut your eyes
Continue shutting your eyes
Let your world fade to darkness
Let your surroundings fade into darkness
You could be the one to save the things I thought
You might be the one to rescue what I believed was forever lost
I'd for sure forever lost
Things that I thought I'd lost permanently
Just skipped right out of my goddamn heart
Emotionally painful experiences that abruptly left my heart
Your cousin
Reference to someone's cousin in distress
He's screaming 'cause the needle is following him
The cousin is distressed due to drug injection
Oh , don't you know ?
Rhetorical question - Do you not understand?
That's the nature of the show
That's how things work in life
A needle will follow you and wake you and take you right back
A metaphorical needle represents a cycle leading back to a place one tried to escape
To the place you tried so hard to leave
Returning to a place someone struggled to leave
if you don't really mean what you say
If there's insincerity in words, why does it affect profoundly?
Then why should this make the skin go away ?
Questioning the impact of insincerity on one's emotions
There's no need to shout
No need to raise your voice
No one here is gonna doubt you again
No one will question or distrust you again
so fix
Repair, mend
Fix your eyes
Focus your sight
On the sun on the sky
Direct your gaze towards the sun, the sky
On the ceiling in your room
Or the ceiling of your room
And all the shame that shines on through
Acknowledging the visible guilt or embarrassment
And oh my God
Expressing surprise or distress
I'm sweating it out again
Feeling intense anxiety or pressure
And I've been taking it out on you
Taking out frustration on someone else
And summer's here and it's closing in and your lips are closing in on me
Feeling suffocated as summer approaches and someone becomes emotionally closer
And I just don't think I'll ever make you see
Doubtful about making someone understand
so I hope you really mean what you say
Hope for sincerity in words spoken
'cause my skin's just about to give in
Feeling emotionally vulnerable
And it's crawling with doubt
Overwhelmed with uncertainty
Screaming right at me all day
Internal doubts causing distress
you got your shine girl and I've got my shame
Someone having their moments of radiance, while the speaker grapples with feelings of disgrace
Together we're killing it
Both contributing to each other's struggles
We're gonna make it all
They aim to overcome their difficulties together
We're gonna make it disappear
Desire to make their issues vanish
