Off My Ass
Embracing Chaos: Finding Connection and Healing in 'Off My Ass'
Lyrics
Don’t know where to sit
Feeling lost or indecisive about where to be or what to do.
Couldn’t pick a direction
Unable to choose a specific path or purpose.
I look around now
Observing surroundings without a sense of belonging or connection.
I don’t feel a connection
Experiencing a lack of emotional or personal attachment.
I laid in the grass
Resting or relaxing, possibly in a state of contemplation.
Off my ass literati
Being in a state of leisure or idleness, possibly associated with intellectual pursuits.
I spoke to poplar trees
Engaging with nature, particularly with poplar trees, as a form of communication.
They listen good to me
Feeling understood or comforted by the natural world.
If I hold my heart
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto one's emotions or values.
If I feel my body
Acknowledging and staying connected to one's physical and emotional sensations.
We won’t be apart
Expressing a desire for closeness, suggesting that separation is unwanted.
And I won’t be lonely (X2)
Reiterating the idea that maintaining connection prevents loneliness (repeated).
It burns when you quit
Describing the pain of quitting or giving up on a persistent emotion.
On an old stubborn feeling
Referencing a challenging and enduring emotional state.
But where’s the feeling from
Pondering the origin of emotions and the source of feelings.
Where will the healing come
Questioning how healing can occur in the absence of understanding the source of pain.
Your turn, take a hit
Encouraging someone else to experience or confront a difficult situation.
I’m a mess and I know it
Admitting to personal challenges or disorder, possibly in a self-aware manner.
But I am sunshine in the rain
Highlighting a positive aspect within oneself, even amidst difficulties.
And I could help you lift your pain
Offering assistance or support to alleviate someone else's suffering.
