Lyrics

It's been 42 days since I left home

Reflecting on the duration since leaving home, 42 days ago.

Now I pace around this room

Restlessly moving within a room, possibly due to internal conflict.

Contemplate where the line is drawn

Considering the boundaries or limits in relationships.

Switch up, next day she'll be gone

Anticipating a quick change in circumstances, suggesting instability.

Another run away, lost time, drop her clothes in front of me

Describing a situation where someone leaves suddenly, leaving an impact.

Swipe right, crashed my car, this fantasy

Referencing a negative consequence (crashing a car) resulting from a fantasy.

Isn't what it's supposed to be

Expressing dissatisfaction with the disparity between expectation and reality.

You scream: what the fuck is wrong with me

Quoting someone expressing frustration and self-awareness of issues.

Shallow, these words I write I can't swallow

Acknowledging the superficiality of the words being written.

These pills I take bury a lot of, my problems

Using pills to escape or numb the problems being faced.

Wasting time cause I can't solve them

Expressing a sense of helplessness in solving personal problems.


Take your promises with you cause I don't feel anything at all

Rejecting promises as they bring no emotional response.

Save your words about me too

Declining to accept words or comments about oneself.

I'll take back every right I've wronged

Expressing a desire to undo past mistakes and make amends.

So long and always, I'll be dead to you

Declaring a detachment and emotional distance from the other person.


Love sick, chasing after something

Describing a state of longing for love but finding nothing.

Reaching, finding nothing

Attempting to reach or achieve something but facing disappointment.

I'm unimpressed

Expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm.

Wanna break my heart

Facing the possibility of heartbreak.

I'll wear a bulletproof vest

Symbolically protecting oneself from emotional harm.

Wanna break my heart

Reiterating the readiness to endure emotional pain.

Wanna see me bleed

Invoking imagery of emotional vulnerability and pain.

When I tried so hard to be what you need

Expressing frustration at failing to meet someone's expectations.


Take your promises with you cause I don't feel anything at all

Repeating the rejection of emotionally empty promises.

Save your words about me too

Reiterating the dismissal of comments or opinions about oneself.

I'll take back every right I've wronged

Reaffirming the desire to correct past mistakes.

So long and always, I'll be dead to you

Declaring a permanent emotional distance from the other person.
