Lost on a Red-Eye: Noah McCool's Reflections on Identity and Pain
Lyrics
oh most days I get tired
Expressing fatigue on most days
cause I don't know, I don't know
Uncertainty and lack of understanding about certain aspects
why I laugh and then I cry
Describing a cycle of laughter followed by tears without clear reasons
I don't know, I don't know
Reiterating the lack of understanding or clarity
'cause I, I cant breathe
Feeling breathless until letting go of oneself
'til I let go of me
Expressing a need for self-release
and I, I can't stay
Unable to stay in a certain state
but sometimes I like the pain
Admitting a liking for pain at times
oh I don't know
Repeated expression of not knowing
I don't know
-I don't know
-I don't know
Continued expression of uncertainty
I don't know
-I don't know
-I don't know
Intensifying the theme of not knowing
'cause I lost myself on a red-eye
Narrating the experience of losing oneself during a red-eye journey
and I just can't seem to forget, I,
-oh I lost myself on a red-eye
-oh I lost myself on a red-eye, red-eye
-I know that she got ahead I
Reflecting on someone else's success and personal struggle with the past
but I've been so lost since you said I
-can't find a way to forget, I
-guess I'm still stuck on this red-eye, red-eye, red-eye
-oh I don't know
Reiteration of not knowing
I don't know
-I don't know
-I don't know
Continued expression of uncertainty
I don't know
-I don't know
-I don't know
Emphasizing the theme of not knowing
so please just stop asking me
Plea to stop asking about the past and former identity
about who I used to be
-so please just stop asking me
-about who I used to be
-please just stop asking me
Repetition of the plea to stop asking
please just stop asking me
-please just stop
-please just stop
-'cause I don't know
Final repetition of not knowing
I don't know
-I don't know
-I don't know
Concluding expression of uncertainty
I don't know
-I don't know
-I don't know
Final emphasis on the theme of not knowing
