Act Normal
Navigating Guilt and Loneliness: Act Normal Unveiled
Lyrics
This ain't my bedroom but this is where I go to sleep
This location is not my bedroom, but it's where I go to sleep.
This ain't the money shot, this is just trying to dream
This is not the climax or highlight; it's an attempt to dream.
Open the windows let the inside out into the street
Open the windows, release inner thoughts into the street.
I'm spitting feathers oh I've come apart at the seams
Feeling broken and unraveling, experiencing deep distress.
I don't know what to do with this guilt that I have
Uncertain how to handle the guilt within.
Raging inside of my head like a lamp
Turmoil in the mind, intense and persistent like a lamp.
Crippled for months and nothing feels normal
Physically and emotionally debilitated for an extended period, everything seems abnormal.
All I can do is just try to ignore it
Trying to disregard or suppress the overwhelming feelings.
I'm lost and I'm lonely, and never at home
Feeling adrift and isolated, never finding a sense of home.
And I'm drinking myself into some kind of hole
Resorting to excessive drinking, sinking into a metaphorical hole.
And there's glimpses of feelings I can't quite reach
Experiencing fleeting emotions that are just out of reach.
It's like bobbing for apples without any teeth
A challenging task or pursuit without the necessary tools.
I don't know anything, I don't know what I believe
Lacking knowledge and beliefs, uncertain about personal convictions.
Hope is important but it ain't important to me
Acknowledging the importance of hope, but personally unaffected by it.
Take all my memories and throw them all into the sea
Choosing to discard memories by throwing them into the sea.
Try to act normal when I drive past the police
Attempting to appear normal when passing by law enforcement.
I don't know what to do with this guilt that I have
Struggling with internal guilt and conflict.
Raging inside of my head like a lamp
Mental turmoil resembling a bright, persistent light.
Crippled for months and nothing feels normal
Continued feelings of abnormality and discomfort over an extended period.
All I can do is just try to ignore it
Attempting to cope by trying to ignore the distressing emotions.
I'm lost and I'm lonely, and never at home
Feeling lost and lonely, unable to find a sense of belonging.
And I'm drinking myself into some kind of hole
Seeking solace in alcohol, descending into a metaphorical hole.
And there's glimpses of feelings I can't quite reach
Experiencing fleeting emotions that remain elusive.
It's like bobbing for apples without any teeth
A metaphor for attempting something difficult without the necessary tools or abilities.
