Lyrics
The girl at the party
The speaker observes a girl at the party.
Is kind of a joke
The girl is perceived as someone not taken seriously or mocked.
Stuck in her mind
The girl is preoccupied with thoughts.
But she can't let it go
Despite her thoughts, she struggles to move on.
Friends glancing at her
Others at the party are subtly looking at her.
As they're making jokes
People are joking around her.
She's laughing along
She laughs along but finds it difficult to express.
It's just hard to show it
Expressing herself is challenging for her.
Maybe she should leave
Contemplating leaving the party.
It's not getting any easier
The situation isn't improving for her.
Clearly
Emphasizing the difficulty she faces.
Social anxiety
The girl is dealing with social anxiety.
Just isn't cutting it for me
The speaker finds social anxiety unacceptable.
Think i'll give it back now
The decision to "give back" social anxiety.
And in case you didn't see
The girl reveals her identity.
The girl at the party is me
The girl admits she is the one struggling.
She steps out of the party
Leaving the party to regain composure.
Catching her breath
Taking a moment to recover.
She wonders if they've even
Questioning if others noticed her departure.
Noticed she left
Reflecting on the expectations of an extrovert.
An extrovert shouldn't be
Expressing that she shouldn't feel this way.
Feeling this way
Others are unaware of her struggles.
If only they knew
If only they knew her thoughts.
All she wants to say to them
Desire to communicate her feelings to others.
Maybe she should leave
Reiteration of the contemplation to leave.
It's not getting any easier
Still finding it challenging to cope.
Clearly
Re-emphasizing the difficulty of social anxiety.
Social anxiety
Reiteration of the unacceptability of social anxiety.
Just isn't cutting it for me
Decision to overcome and return social anxiety.
Think i'll give it back now
Repeating the decision to give it back.
And in case you didn't see
Revealing the identity again.
The girl at the party is me
Reiterating that the struggling girl is the speaker.
Heart beating
Physical and emotional response to anxiety.
Mind racing
Intense mental activity and emotional turmoil.
I'm feeling choked
The girl feels restricted or suffocated.
Talking gets harder
Communication becomes increasingly difficult.
And smile is faltering
Her smile starts to fade.
Girl at the party should leave
Suggesting the girl should leave for her well-being.
She's too tired from trying
Exhausted from attempting to please others.
To please them
The difficulty of dealing with social expectations.
Social anxiety
Reiteration of the challenge of social anxiety.
Just isn't cutting it for me
Expressing dissatisfaction with social anxiety.
Think i'll give it back now
Deciding to overcome and reject social anxiety.
And in case you didn't see
Revealing identity again for emphasis.
The girl at the party is me
Final acknowledgment that the girl at the party is the speaker.
I think i am ready to leave
The speaker is ready to leave, suggesting personal growth.
