Lyrics
How many cold vitriolic gazes
Questioning the frequency of harsh, critical stares
Before these signs of wear will show?
Speculating on when the effects of wear and tear will become visible
Did I ever reach out begging for crumbs?
Reflecting on whether the person ever sought help or support
Are you here in my head? You know what I want
Wondering if the person is aware of desires and thoughts in one's mind
Say you're building me up, but tearing me down
Acknowledging a contradictory situation of being built up and torn down
And I don't want fame, I don't want a crown
Expressing a lack of interest in fame or recognition
If that's what it takes, I don't want a part
Rejecting participation if it involves compromising personal values
To jump when they say, it's not what I want
Refusing to conform to others' expectations or demands
I'm one of the people they never let breathe
Feeling stifled and constrained, not allowed to breathe freely
Different people, unable to breathe
Highlighting the shared struggle of various individuals unable to breathe
Did I ever reach out asking your view?
Questioning if attempts were made to seek someone's perspective
Your redundant thoughts on what I should do
Dismissing repetitive or unnecessary advice on actions to take
Say you're building me up, but tearing me down
Contradicting messages of support and criticism
And I don't want fame, I don't want a crown
Reiterating disinterest in fame or external validation
And the things that you crave are not in my heart
Stating that personal desires differ from what others seek
If you're here in my head now, you see what I want
Confirming that the person's thoughts and wants are known by someone
It's every time
Emphasizing the repeated struggle every time an attempt is made
It's every time
-Every time
-I try
-It's every time
-I try
Expressing frustration or difficulty in the attempt
