Short Stacked and Long Odds Against
Unveiling the Depths: A Poetic Journey through Self-Doubt and Redemption
Lyrics
Walking wrapped in a plastic bag is what you wanted, right?
Expressing the feeling of being constrained or suffocated, possibly metaphorically represented by a plastic bag.
Finding me locked in the trunk of your car is not gratifying
Being discovered in a distressing situation (trapped in a car trunk) is not fulfilling or satisfying.
I run and hide but everywhere I go and find something in me
Attempting to escape or avoid problems, but encountering reminders of unresolved issues wherever one goes.
That reminds me of feeling safe
Finding comfort or security in something that brings back memories of feeling safe in the past.
So go ahead, pull the teeth from your mouth again
Encouraging someone to confront their issues or problems by facing challenges head-on.
The swelling won't go down unless you stop tounging your cheek
Highlighting the need to stop self-destructive behavior in order to alleviate a problem (swelling).
And everything you do reminds me of what we cannot explain
Observing that everything the person does serves as a reminder of unexplainable or unresolved matters.
Cause you're out of your reach and out of time again
Noticing that the person is consistently out of reach and running out of time.
And so I'm not anybody that carries this over
Asserting that the speaker is not someone who carries emotional baggage into the present.
I hope you know those eyes have burned out...
Warning about the extinguished passion or intensity in someone's eyes.
The ones that burned a hole in my head have extinguished
Reflecting on the fading impact of someone's presence, particularly the burning intensity in their eyes.
You're out of your own self doubt
Noting that the person has overcome self-doubt and is no longer trapped by it.
This is the last thing I've ever wanted
Expressing discontent or disappointment about the current situation being the last thing desired.
Then how come you can play this game
Pondering why someone engages in a particular game or behavior if it contradicts what they claim to desire.
I've used all myself
Indicating that the speaker has exhausted all personal resources or efforts.
And now I'm down in flames
Describing a state of failure or downfall after using up all available resources.
