Lyrics

I don't wanna talk

I want to avoid conversation

I just wanna sleep it off

Prefer to sleep to escape the situation

So I can go to bed

Desire to go to bed and ignore reality

Pretend that this will somehow end

Wishing that the current situation will eventually conclude

I don't wanna talk

Reiteration of not wanting to engage in conversation

I just wanna sleep it off

Repetition of the desire to sleep to avoid issues

So I can go to bed

Repeating the wish to go to bed and escape

But I know that this will never end

Acknowledging that the situation is persistent


I was in Temple, Texas

Encounter with a fan expressing admiration and loyalty

And I took an exit to a gas station, stopped the car

-

Saw a young man, wearing black Vans

-

Kinda looked like me from afar

-

He said "Joe, I would die for you, bro

-

Man, you a legend, I hope that you know

-

I got your logo tattooed on my throat

-

I stayed out, I was waiting for your show

-

You do it all even with the anxiety

Recognition of dealing with anxiety and depression

And honestly, that is inspiring

-

With all the depression you put on yourself and from others

-

That shit must get tiring"

-

I told him "Thanks" and I drove home

Reflection on the responsibility to fans and personal struggles

Going 95 in a 55

-

I don't wanna let him down now

-

Tryna be strong, but I don't know how

-

I don't wanna talk

Repetition of the desire to avoid talking and sleep

I just wanna sleep it off

-

So I can go to bed

-

Pretend that this will somehow end

-

I don't wanna talk

-

I just wanna sleep it off

-

So I can go to bed

-

But I know that this will never end

-

So what will it take with this broken brain?

Questions about the challenges posed by mental health

Will I go insane?

-

Will I be the same?

-

Will I win this game?

-

I don't know

Uncertainty about the outcome of personal struggles

Facing an army of fear on my own

Facing personal fears and dealing with external opinions

Reading reviews of my songs in my bed

-

I lie when I say it won't get to my head

-

Defining myself by a stranger's opinion

-

The people around me tell me not to listen

-

So you wanted real?

Shift towards authenticity and being genuine

Now I'm bein' it

-

I don't wanna keep on feeling this

Expressing a desire to overcome difficult emotions

You don't know what I've been dealing with

-

You don't know what I've been dealing with

Repetition emphasizing the complexity of personal struggles

I put all this pain in the music

Using music as an outlet for emotional pain

But every night on this stage I'm reliving it

-

Had a panic attack every day for a year

Recounting a period of intense struggle with panic attacks

Gave me pills, I know there was no fixing it

-

Yeah, 'cause me and mental health go way back

Acknowledging a longstanding relationship with mental health challenges

Thought it went away but it came back

-

Either way, I know I gotta try and face that

-

It's how I am but I wish that I could change that

Expressing a wish for personal change


I don't wanna talk

Repetition of the desire to avoid conversation and escape through sleep

I just wanna sleep it off

-

So I can go to bed

-

Pretend that this will somehow end

-

I don't wanna talk

-

I just wanna sleep it off

-

So I can go to bed

-

But I know that this will never end
