Can't Distract Myself
Haunted Thoughts: Offset Vision's Struggle with Inner Demons
Lyrics
Don't ask how I've been, you know I'm not fine
Expressing a reluctance to discuss personal well-being, indicating a state of emotional distress or turmoil.
If I cared about myself I wouldn't be on your mind
Suggesting that the focus on someone else is a result of personal neglect or disregard for self-care.
'Cause I'm not coping, I'm falling behind
Admitting to struggling and falling behind, possibly in managing emotions or life challenges.
I really need some help but I don't want it tonight
Expressing a need for help while simultaneously rejecting it for the moment.
And it's killing me that you're absent
Feeling troubled by the absence or lack of presence of someone important.
The empty space is so vapid
Describing the empty space left behind as insubstantial or lacking meaning.
And I can't seem to move past this
Struggling to overcome a situation or emotions associated with the absence of the person.
'Cause you're still swimming in my head
Indicating the persistent presence of the person in thoughts despite efforts to move on.
Breaking in under my skin
Metaphorically describing emotional impact or pain penetrating deeply.
Roaming around in my skull while I crumble
Feeling mentally disintegrating or breaking down while dealing with thoughts of the person.
Grinding teeth and losing sleep
Experiencing stress or anxiety, resulting in physical effects like grinding teeth and insomnia.
I really can't distract myself
Expressing difficulty in diverting attention or focusing on other things.
All the slime, my stomach lining
Metaphorically referencing intense emotional distress affecting the stomach.
Coating the floor of my bathroom, thinking of you
Being in a distressing situation, dwelling on thoughts of the person.
Can't erase what you replaced
Unable to remove memories or feelings associated with the person.
And I really can't distract myself
Reiterating the struggle to divert attention or focus from thoughts of the person.
I know it scares you when I hurt myself
Recognizing concern or worry from the other person due to self-harm tendencies.
I swear it's not your fault it's just my only way out
Clarifying that self-harm isn't the fault of the other person but is a coping mechanism.
And I'll make it through but it's so hard right now
Expressing determination to overcome despite current difficulties.
Said you're worried about me 'cause I don't think so loud
Perceiving a lack of vocal expression despite internal struggles.
Breaking in under my skin
Repetition of the emotional impact or pain penetrating deeply.
Roaming around in my skull while I crumble
Reiterating mental disintegration or breakdown due to thoughts of the person.
Grinding teeth and losing sleep
