Same Clothes
Embracing Identity's Conformity: Sentinel Events' Reflection
Lyrics
I wear the same clothes
I consistently wear the same clothes
Everyday
Every day
My OCD makes sure that I stay awake
My obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) keeps me awake
Obsessing over you
I am fixated on thoughts of you
Embellishing the truth
I exaggerate or enhance the truth
Existing in a distant time and place
I exist in a distant and different time and place
Just trying to keep this appearance up
I strive to maintain a certain appearance
A sad performance at its best
Engaging in a sorrowful performance at my best
I go along to get along
I go along with others to avoid conflict
I sing my stupid songs
I sing my songs despite their perceived foolishness
And you can dress the part
You can adopt a particular persona
And legislate the law
You can establish rules and regulations
Without complaint
Without expressing discontent
I will stay inside my lane
I will stay within my designated path
Keep the blank expression on my face
Maintaining a blank expression on my face
Just trying to fit in
Struggling to conform and belong
I just keep my thoughts hidden
I keep my thoughts hidden
Concealed in a secret sacred place
My thoughts are concealed in a secret, sacred place
Just trying to keep this appearance up
I continue to uphold a particular appearance
A sad performance at its best
A melancholic performance at its highest quality
It all comes crashing down eventually
All efforts will eventually collapse
So why do I care?
Despite the inevitable downfall, I question why I care
How I get there
The method of reaching a destination becomes irrelevant
Getting over it
Repetition of "Getting over it," possibly indicating a struggle or process of overcoming
Getting over it
-Getting over it
-Getting over it
-Someday a hurricane will come
Anticipation of a significant and disruptive event (hurricane)
And wash me off this peninsula
The event will cleanse or remove me from my current situation (peninsula)
Just trying to keep this appearance up
Persistent effort to maintain a specific appearance
A sad performance at its best
A performance marked by sadness and excellence
It all comes crashing down eventually
All endeavors are destined to collapse eventually
So why do I care?
Despite the inevitable downfall, I question why I care
How I get there
The method of reaching a destination becomes irrelevant
Getting over it
The process of overcoming challenges or difficulties
