Lyrics

Serotonin doesn't speak to me the way it used to,

Serotonin doesn't provide the same emotional fulfillment as before.

This summer's been lethal.

The current summer has been exceptionally harmful or damaging.

I can not forget how I looked across the deck at those people,

Recalling a past moment of observing people on a deck, the memory is unforgettable.

So long ago

The mentioned memory is from a long time ago.

And where's this house I call a home

Questioning the location of the speaker's supposed home.

This summer's been lethal

Reiterating the damaging nature of the current summer.

At best,

Expressing a sense of resignation or acceptance of the situation.

I can not connect

Unable to establish a meaningful connection with others.

Collect my feelings I'm a wounded wreck in.

Struggling with emotions and feeling like a broken or injured person.


Pain

The experience of pain is recurring.

It's happening again,

Confirming the repetition of a painful experience.

I lie awake afraid,

Fearful thoughts keeping the speaker awake.

Cracked knuckles red, I don't detest

Physical signs of distress, like cracked knuckles, without a strong dislike.

Blinkered vision is the only way.

Having a narrow or limited perspective as the preferred way of dealing with challenges.


Useless I don't really care that much I'm out of touch,

Expressing a lack of concern or care, feeling disconnected from others.

I'm ruthless blood on my hands

Being ruthless with guilt or responsibility, possibly for causing harm.

With one more glance that I can't stand,

Regret or discomfort caused by a fleeting glance.

This summer's been lethal

Reiterating the destructive nature of the current summer.

And I'm in debt there's nothing left,

Feeling indebted and having nothing left, possibly emotionally or materially.

This summer's been lethal

Reiterating the harmful impact of the current summer.

At best,

Expressing a sense of resignation or acceptance of the situation (repeated).

I can not connect

Unable to establish a meaningful connection with others (repeated).

Collect my feelings I'm a wounded wreck in.

Struggling with emotions and feeling like a broken or injured person (repeated).

Reiterating the destructive nature of the current summer (repeated).
