Lyrics
Okay I'd keep it cool but you're asking way too much of me
Expressing difficulty in maintaining composure due to excessive demands.
I can barely leave my house these days
Conveying a sense of social withdrawal or reluctance to leave home.
And I'm out of breath from all these faces I don't wanna see
Feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable in social situations.
And I hate to see you see me like this
Disliking being seen in a vulnerable state by someone else.
I've been celibate with my emotions
Describing a period of emotional restraint or celibacy.
Now I'm panicking and we're looking for an exit
Experiencing panic and seeking an escape from a situation.
And I feel it all coming down on me
Sensing the weight of various issues or emotions intensifying.
"Take a breather, stop and then follow me
Encouraging a pause and suggesting a change of location.
Just right outside of this building"
Offering guidance to step outside for relief.
Oh, in a minute you're gonna get tired of me
Anticipating weariness or boredom from the speaker's company.
And I'm feeling nauseous so pardon me
Expressing physical discomfort and asking for understanding.
Get it through your head it's not hard to see
Asserting that the speaker's situation is evident and easily understood.
That the pressure in me is like sodomy
Comparing internal pressure to sodomy, possibly signifying discomfort or distress.
'cause I feel it all
Acknowledging the overwhelming emotional experience.
Push back, fall out of line
Resisting conformity, pushing back against societal expectations.
I'm wasting all of our time
Acknowledging the waste of time in resisting.
Don't want no other in sight
Expressing a desire to avoid others.
It's alright I'm over it
Accepting and being indifferent to the situation.
Oh no, I'm never sober
Admitting to not being sober, possibly referring to substance use.
My demons always take over
Noting the dominance of personal struggles or "demons."
Right, go get you some money
Encouraging others to focus on financial success.
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
Assuring others about the speaker's well-being.
And I feel it all coming down on me
Repeating the feeling of impending pressure.
"Take a breather, stop and then follow me
Reiterating the advice to take a break and change the surroundings.
Just right outside of this building"
Encouraging an external break for relief.
Oh, in a minute you're gonna get tired of me
Repeating the anticipation of weariness from the speaker.
And I'm feeling nauseous so pardon me
Reaffirming the speaker's physical discomfort and seeking pardon.
Get it through your head it's not hard to see
Reiterating the clarity of the speaker's situation.
That the pressure in me is like sodomy
Comparing internal pressure to sodomy again.
'cause I feel it all
Reiterating the overwhelming emotional experience.
Money
Emphasizing the significance of money in life.
Halfway out I saw it crashing down on me
Describing a realization of a situation collapsing or becoming overwhelming.
Halfway out I saw it crashing down on me
-Halfway out I saw it crashing down on me
-Halfway out I saw it crashing down on me
