Scatterbrained
Ephemeral Youth: Embracing the Whirlwind of Emotions
Lyrics
I feel like I'm fifteen again
Feeling nostalgic, reminiscent of being young
Scatterbrained and sinking in
Feeling scattered mentally and emotionally, sinking into confusion or distress
And I know these feelings are just going to rip me apart
Expecting emotions to cause internal turmoil
But I'm content with playing pretend
Choosing to pretend rather than confront reality
I'll distract myself with a feeling
Intentionally diverting attention toward a specific emotion
And enjoy these little moments I'm stealing
Finding joy in brief stolen moments
Oh no, oh well
Acceptance of a situation despite its negative aspects
I'll keep it to myself
Keeping emotions private
Damn it, to hell
Expressing frustration
And this killing urge to tell you
Strong desire to confess something
I know that I can't have you
Acknowledging impossibility of having someone
But it's the thought that gets me through
Finding solace in thoughts despite impossibility
And I know I'm breaking my own heart
Realizing self-inflicted pain
And it's just tearing me apart
Emotional distress due to internal conflict
But it's just nice to get to know you
Enjoying the process of getting to know someone
I'll distract myself with a feeling
Using emotions to distract from reality
And enjoy these little moments I'm stealing
Finding happiness in stolen moments despite the situation
Oh no, oh well
Resignation to keep emotions hidden
I'll keep it to myself
Deciding to keep thoughts and feelings to oneself
Damn it, to hell
Expressing frustration or dismay
And this killing urge to tell you
Continued desire to confess despite the difficulty
Some things are better left unsaid
Belief in not expressing certain things
But damn, I wanna tell you instead
Strong desire to share despite belief
Even though it's killing me
Acknowledging emotional pain caused by the desire to share
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Contentment despite emotional struggle
I'll distract myself with a feeling
Using emotions to distract from reality repeatedly
And enjoy these little moments I'm stealing
Finding happiness in brief moments repeatedly
Oh no, oh well
Resignation to hide emotions again
I'll keep it to myself
Decision to keep feelings concealed
Damn it, to hell
Expressing frustration or dismay again
And this killing urge to tell you
Continued desire to confess despite difficulty again
Just wanna live this feeling for a while
Desire to prolong a specific emotional state
It's enough to make me smile
Feeling content despite the circumstances
Is it even worth the time?
Questioning the value of investing time in the situation
Is it even worth the try?
Questioning the worthiness of attempting
