Alone
Embracing Solitude: Ryan Berlin's Reflection on Inner Struggles
Lyrics
Get away from me
Expressing a desire for distance or separation from someone.
My mind is dirty and I need some time to clean
Describing a troubled state of mind that needs time for emotional cleansing.
So cantankerous, fickle and frank
Using words like "cantankerous," "fickle," and "frank" to highlight negative aspects of oneself.
I wish I was another way
Expressing a wish for a different personal disposition or character.
And it seems laughable to you that I'm burning up inside
Feeling intense emotions internally while others may perceive it differently, possibly as indifference or amusement.
Leave me alone
Repeatedly emphasizing the desire for solitude and to be left alone.
Leave me alone
-Leave me alone
-Leave me alone
-I don't want to say what's wrong 'cause even if you understand
Reluctance to articulate personal issues, anticipating a lack of understanding or change even if communicated.
You won't change to the degree that my brain demands
Skepticism about others' willingness or ability to adapt to one's needs.
Doesn't seem that weird to me but you say it is
Highlighting a divergence in perception; what may seem normal to the speaker is viewed as strange by others.
This idiosyncrasy isn't who I am, but it is
Acknowledging a peculiar trait that may not define the speaker's identity but is part of who they are.
And it seems laughable to you that it's something I can't hide
Reiterating the internal struggle that is not easily concealed, despite external appearances.
Leave me alone
Repetition of the plea for solitude, underscoring the intensity of the desire to be left alone.
Leave me alone
-Leave me alone
-Leave me alone
-Leave me alone
Continued insistence on being left alone, possibly reflecting a sense of urgency or frustration.
Leave me alone
-Leave me alone
-Leave me alone
