Lyrics
I've been lying to myself
The speaker has been deceiving themselves.
It feels so helpless
They feel powerless or without remedy.
To act like someone else, act like someone else
Pretending to be someone else is distressing or challenging.
When you've been told
After receiving advice or instruction.
Push me closer to your wall
Asking to be brought closer despite feeling buried or overwhelmed.
6 feet under
Metaphorically buried or deeply troubled.
Find me down the hall, find me down the hall
Requesting to be found despite being distant or isolated.
When I feel old
Feeling aged or worn out.
So here I am
Declaring present existence or arrival.
Here I stand
Asserting current position or status.
The one that can
Claiming capability or authority.
I'll do it if I can
Expressing willingness to attempt if able.
Yeah
Confirming agreement or affirmation.
Working harder to pay my way
Striving diligently to cover expenses or obligations.
In a system
In a societal structure where all days seem mundane or monotonous.
Where all week days are grey, and all my days are grey
All days, including personal time, seem dull or lacking vibrancy.
And I feel bored
Experiencing a lack of interest or enthusiasm.
Life is easy on your own
Implying that being alone might seem simpler or less complicated.
Not so easy
Contrasting the ease of solitude with difficulties arising when others are present.
When all my friends, and all my friends are home
Feeling challenged when friends are unavailable or absent.
And I feel low
Experiencing emotional decline or despondency.
So here I am
Reiterating present existence or arrival.
Here I stand
Asserting current position or status.
The one that can
Claiming capability or authority.
I'll do it if I can
Expressing willingness to attempt if able.
Here I am
Reiterating present existence or arrival.
Here I stand
Asserting current position or status.
The one that can
Claiming capability or authority.
I'll do it if I can
Expressing willingness to attempt if able.
Yea...
Reiteration or emphasis.
