Lyrics
Looking in the mirror tryna figure myself out
Reflecting on self-discovery and introspection while looking in the mirror.
I've been on a low and it's all I think about
Dealing with a period of emotional low, occupying thoughts extensively.
My breathing's getting fast and it feels like no one understands
Experiencing rapid breathing, feeling misunderstood by others.
Couldn't trust myself couldn't trust nobody else
Lack of trust in oneself and others, perhaps due to past experiences.
Maybe that's the price you pay for not feeling yourself
Suggesting a cost or consequence for not being true to oneself.
Screaming out for help but it felt like no one gave a shit
Expressing a plea for help, feeling ignored or unnoticed.
I hurt myself being somebody else
Self-inflicted pain and harm while pretending to be someone else.
No one knows how to help
Highlighting the difficulty others have in understanding and helping.
Left me all alone didn't know where to go
Left alone without guidance, unsure of where to turn.
Didn't know who to phone
Feeling isolated and without anyone to reach out to.
Felt like nobody cared for what I say
Perceiving a lack of concern or interest from others in one's words.
I'm inside of my mind through the whole day
Being trapped inside one's thoughts throughout the entire day.
And I tried to pretend I was ok
Attempting to conceal emotional struggles by pretending to be okay.
Pretend I was ok
Continuation of the effort to maintain a facade of being okay.
Voices in my head and their tryna put me down
Reference to negative voices affecting self-esteem.
Ashamed I let them in I've been quiet for a while
Feeling ashamed for allowing negative influences to persist silently.
Thinking way too much and I hate when there's no way out
Overthinking with a sense of being trapped without a solution.
I hurt myself being somebody else
Repetition of self-inflicted harm while portraying a false identity.
No one knows how to help
Reiterating the challenge of finding understanding and help from others.
Left me all alone didn't know where to go
Feeling abandoned and directionless in a time of need.
Didn't know who to phone
Continued sense of isolation, unsure of who to reach out to.
Felt like nobody cared for what I say
Perception of lack of care or concern for personal feelings.
I'm inside of my mind through the whole day
Persistent mental struggle throughout the entire day.
And I tried to pretend I was ok
Repeating the attempt to feign emotional well-being.
Pretend I was ok
Continuation of the facade of pretending to be okay.
Now I'm being myself spoke to somebody else
A shift towards authenticity, reaching out to others for support.
Now I know how to help
Discovering a way to help oneself by seeking external support.
When you feel all alone there are places to go
Realization that there are places and people to turn to in times of loneliness.
There are people to phone
Understanding the availability of supportive individuals to contact.
Now I feel like I care for what I say
Feeling a newfound sense of caring for one's own words and emotions.
In control of my mind through the whole day
Attaining control over one's mind throughout the day.
Didn't have to pretend I was ok
No longer needing to pretend, embracing authenticity and well-being.
Now I'm happy being lonely
Finding happiness in solitude, accepting and embracing loneliness.
And my family been there for me every time
Expressing gratitude for family support during challenging times.
I rely on my friends they're my lifeline
Relying on friends as a vital support system in life.
When you're feeling out of place in your own life
Navigating a sense of displacement within one's own life.
Know that nothings wrong with your mind
A reassurance that there is nothing wrong with one's mind when feeling out of place.
