Lyrics
I'm due for a breakdown
I anticipate a moment of emotional collapse or crisis.
It's been good for far too long
Things have been going well for an extended period.
When will it all crash and burn
Expressing a concern about when everything will fall apart.
Like it always does
Referring to a recurring pattern of things going wrong.
We're finally growing
Positive growth is finally happening.
Been stagnant for way too long
Previously stuck or unchanging, and now evolving.
But why does it have to hurt
Questioning why positive changes come with emotional pain.
Like I'm eight years old
Experiencing emotional pain reminiscent of childhood.
Having growing pains again
Revisiting the discomfort of growing up.
We're longing for
Expressing a desire for a time in the past.
The good old days
Nostalgia for a time that may not have been as good as remembered.
But there never was
Highlighting the absence of an idealized "golden age."
A golden age
Emphasizing that a perfect era never existed.
She keeps forgetting
Someone is forgetful about identity and surroundings.
Who we are and where she is
Reflecting on someone's memory lapses.
I wonder if being blank
Speculating if a state of blankness makes life easier.
Makes it easier
Suggesting that being emotionally numb may be a coping mechanism.
So I open the window
Opening a window as a symbolic act to reconnect with reality.
To remember the air I breathe
Trying to recall the fundamental aspects of life.
Even if I forget everything else
Even if forgetting everything else, a particular memory persists.
I can't forget that till the end
Highlighting the enduring nature of a specific memory.
We're longing for
Repeating the desire for a past time.
The good old days
Reiterating the absence of an idealized past era.
But there never was
Emphasizing that a perfect era never existed.
A golden age
Reiterating the absence of a utopian past.
