Pressure
Navigating Shadows: Escaping the Strain of Unseen Pressures
Lyrics
I swear I saw a shadow underneath my door
I perceived a shadow beneath my door.
Laying here thinking what if it was yours
Contemplating the possibility that the shadow belongs to you.
My mind keeps playing tricks on me
Experiencing mental confusion and deception.
Got me trippin' on what I care for
Feeling emotionally disturbed about things I value.
Lately I can't tell what's even real anymore
Struggling to discern what is real in my life.
No I can't take the pressure
Expressing inability to handle the pressure.
I'm staring 'round like a foolish dude
Observing surroundings with a sense of foolishness.
I'm digging inside my dresser
Searching within myself, possibly metaphorically represented by the dresser.
Looking for some smoke so I can smoke about you
Seeking solace in smoking to cope with thoughts of you.
And I knew you so well
Reflecting on the depth of my knowledge about you.
Oh well
Accepting a situation without much concern.
Don't even try to explain
Rejecting the need for explanations.
Everybody says I look like hell
Receiving comments about my appearance and emotional state.
But I'm gettin' over numb to the pain
Becoming desensitized to emotional pain.
I felt your shadow on my wall
Sensing a presence reminiscent of you on my wall.
I just knew it was your ghost
Believing the presence is a ghostly manifestation of you.
I felt your shadow steal my heart
Feeling your influence taking away my heart precisely when I needed it.
Just when I needed it the most
Experiencing emotional vulnerability.
My mind keeps playing all these tricks
Experiencing persistent deceptive thoughts.
Feels like I fucking care for nothing
Expressing a sense of apathy and indifference.
No I can't take the pressure
Reiterating the inability to handle pressure.
I'm standing 'round like a foolish dude
Standing foolishly, possibly indicating confusion or indecision.
I'm digging inside my dresser
Continuing the metaphorical search within myself.
Looking for some smoke so I can smoke about you
Using smoking as a means to contemplate and cope with thoughts of you.
And I knew you so well
Recalling a past familiarity and understanding of you.
Oh well
Accepting a situation without much concern (repeated).
I'm fucking going insane
Expressing a heightened state of mental distress.
Everybody says I look like hell
Receiving comments about my appearance and emotional state (repeated).
But I'm gettin' numb to the pain
Becoming desensitized to emotional pain (repeated).
