Lyrics
(Ah, oh)

(Ah, oh)
-When the city's asleep I'm wide awake
During the quiet hours of the night, the singer is wide awake.
My body crashed three days ago
The singer's physical state has deteriorated recently, but their mind remains active and troubled.
But my mind's still insane
Despite physical exhaustion, the singer's mental state is still chaotic.
It's a fact you can't outrun your problems
An acknowledgment that one cannot escape life's challenges.
But I can run my life straight into a grave

Cause just when I think something's figured out
Despite thinking they have something figured out, the singer tends to complicate matters.
I make it complicated and now
The singer reflects on complicating situations and expresses a desire for simplicity.
Forever I'm begging
An appeal for peace in the singer's life.
Let me have peace now
A plea to be emotionally numb and find peace.
Let me go numb now
-Haven't I learned enough lessons
Reflection on past experiences and the lessons learned.
About the world I live in
The singer questions their understanding of the world they live in.
I can't watch another second
The singer can't bear to witness more distressing moments.
Release me from hysteria
An appeal to be released from a state of hysteria or extreme distress.
Or I breakdown it makes me wanna throw up
The emotional toll is so high that it induces physical reactions like nausea.
Forever I'm begging
A repetition of the plea for peace.
Let me have peace now
A renewed plea to be emotionally numb for tranquility.
Let me go numb now
-So sad about being sad and tired

So over everyone telling me

I had all this potential

Spent all of myself on what should make me happy
The singer spent energy on things that were supposed to bring happiness.
And now I'm so over everyone telling me I'm fine
People reassure the singer that they are fine, but the singer disagrees.
Cause I bet they wouldn't believe
The singer believes others wouldn't understand their jealousy of those who can sleep peacefully.
I'm jealous of people that go to sleep
Expressing envy of those who can enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.
Forever I'm begging
A repetition of the plea for peace and emotional numbness.
Let me have peace now
-Let me go numb now
A renewed reflection on learned lessons and the desire for peace.
Haven't I learned enough lessons
-About the world I live in
Questioning understanding of the world and its impact on the singer.
I can't watch another second
The singer cannot bear to witness more distressing moments.
Release me from hysteria
A plea to be released from hysteria.
Or I breakdown it makes me wanna throw up
The emotional toll is so high that it induces physical reactions like nausea.
Forever I'm begging

Let me have peace now
-Let me go numb now
A renewed plea to be emotionally numb for tranquility.
Sixteen candles blew the life out of me
-Now every year I wish for the same thing
A reference to a past event where the singer felt a loss of life or vitality.
Forever I'm begging
