Lyrics
Another dumb song you can roll your eyes at
Expressing awareness that this song might be perceived as foolish or unimportant by the listener.
Another dive in my mind for the panic attacks
Reflecting on delving into personal thoughts and memories that trigger anxiety or panic attacks.
Another long night waiting for someone to react
Waiting for a response or reaction from someone during a prolonged, anxious night.
Another conversation about where I lack
Engaging in yet another discussion about personal shortcomings or areas of deficiency.
My compulsion
Highlighting an internal drive or urge to act or behave in a certain way.
Your revulsion
Expressing someone else's strong disapproval or disgust towards the speaker's actions or behaviors.
Call it self care
Suggesting that the speaker's actions can be viewed as an act of taking care of oneself.
Or self-indulgence
Presenting the possibility that these actions could be seen as excessive or overly self-gratifying.
Too young to quit, too old to care
Feeling in a stage of life where giving up seems premature while being too weary to deeply care.
More medication down to deal with stress
Increasing reliance on medication to cope with stress.
More justification to get it off my chest
Offering justifications or explanations to unburden oneself emotionally.
More evidence piling up to confess
Accumulating more evidence or proof of personal failings or mistakes.
More excuses "I'm trying my best"
Continuously using reasons or explanations to convince oneself and others of effort.
Your revulsion
Recurrence of someone else's strong disgust or aversion to the speaker's behavior.
My overindulgence
The speaker's excessive consumption or engagement in certain behaviors.
Call it threadbare
Labeling the situation as worn-out or exhausted, either in terms of justification or self-importance.
Or self-important
Suggesting that the actions or thoughts could be seen as self-centered or overly significant.
Too young to quit, too old to care
Reiterating the feeling of being caught between wanting to persist and feeling indifferent due to accumulated experiences.
I shouldn't feel this guilty
Expressing a sense of unwarranted guilt in the face of impending judgment or criticism.
While they're reading my sentencing
While others judge, the speaker feels weighed down by the consequences of their actions.
Go ahead and throw the book at me
Accepting the consequences or criticism willingly, almost inviting punishment.
A felony for life of apathy
Facing a lifetime sentence or perception of being indifferent and disconnected.
Too young to quit, too old to care
Repeating the sentiment of feeling caught between youthful persistence and the weariness of caring deeply.
