Sober Up
Navigating Shadows: Red Weather's Poignant Reflection on Mental Struggles
Lyrics
So the story goes
Introducing the narrative or situation
Anxiety is killing me
Expressing the impact of anxiety on the person
I'm only sober when I drink
Paradoxical statement suggesting reliance on alcohol for sobriety
With these things inside my head
Reference to inner struggles or conflicting thoughts
I'm better of inside my bed
Preferencing withdrawal and isolation as a coping mechanism
If these sheets were only oceans I would sink
Repetition symbolizing a continuous descent or struggle
Down and down and down and down
-Down and down and down and down
-Down and down and down and down
-I'd go
Expression of a desire to escape or give up
Lately, lately I've been thinking I'm not smart enough or strong enough
Self-doubt about intelligence and strength, questioning reality
To shake, shake this feeling that it's all inside my head and nothing more
-Stay up late, sleep all day, My dogs my only company
Describing a monotonous and lonely lifestyle
And we're both bored of living this way
-I've I shed my clothes and shave my head will things feel lighter than instead
Contemplating drastic changes to alleviate mental burdens
Or do my thoughts hold all of this weight, This weight
-Down and down and down and down
Reiteration of the downward spiral, emphasizing the depth of struggles
Down and down and down and down
-Down and down and down and down
-I'd go
-Lately, lately I've been thinking I'm not smart enough or strong enough
Repeating feelings of inadequacy and the perception that it's internal
To shake, shake this feeling that it's all inside my head and nothing more
-Lately, lately I've been thinking I'm not smart enough or strong enough
Continuation of self-doubt and the internal nature of struggles
To shake, shake this feeling that it's all inside my head and nothing more
-Down and down and down and down
Emphasis on the ongoing struggle and the desire to escape
Down and down and down and down
-Down and down and down and down
-I'd go
-Lately, lately I've been thinking I'm not smart enough or strong enough
Reiterating the theme of feeling insufficient and trapped in one's thoughts
To shake, shake this feeling that it's all inside my head and nothing more
-Lately, lately I've been thinking I'm not smart enough or strong enough
Final repetition, underscoring the persistent belief in internal struggles
To shake, shake this feeling that it's all inside my head and nothing more
