Devil on the Shelf
Struggling Shadows: Unveiling the Devil on the Shelf
Lyrics
Feels like everybody wants a piece of me
Feeling overwhelmed by demands from others
If I could be two places at once then I would be
Wishing for the ability to be in multiple places simultaneously
I can't say no and it's holding me back
Difficulty in refusing requests, hindering progress
Feels like I'm drowning in panic attacks
Sense of being suffocated by panic attacks
Sitting on the top shelf
Metaphorical location representing isolation or hiding
Hidden in the far left
Concealed away from notice or attention
A devil that's not easy to see
A darker aspect not immediately evident
I've been struggling to see clear
Struggling with understanding
Wondering why I'm here
Questioning purpose or reason for existence
Nothing makes sense to me
Feeling a lack of coherence in life
So make sense to me
Requesting clarity or understanding
Make sense to me
Repeated plea for coherence or meaning
What do you want from me
Questioning the intentions of others
You make me feel so wrong
Feeling emotionally conflicted by someone's influence
What do you need from me
Seeking understanding of someone's requirements
I'm never giving you my songs
Protective of personal creations or expressions
Why can't you see I'm not just a kid that don't belong
Expressing a desire to be seen for more than perceived
Why can't you leave me be
Requesting space or freedom from interference
I'm just trying to move on
Attempting to progress despite obstacles
Trying to move on
Reiterating the endeavor to move forward
And it seems that I'm not alone
Realizing others face similar struggles
From the undertones of everyone I know
Sensing a common underlying tone among acquaintances
It feels like there's something not quite right
Feeling something amiss or not normal
Like there's a creature lurking in the night
Suggesting a hidden, unsettling presence
Sitting on the top shelf
Repetition of isolation or concealment
Hidden in the far left
Consistent with being hidden or unnoticed
A devil that's not easy to see
Reiteration of a concealed, darker side
I've been struggling to see clear
Struggling to perceive or understand clearly
Wondering why I'm here
Questioning existence or purpose
Nothing makes sense to me
Experiencing a lack of coherence in life
So make sense to me
Requesting comprehension or meaning
Make sense to me
Repetition of the desire for clarity
What do you want from me
Questioning others' expectations
You make me feel so wrong
Feeling emotionally unsettled due to others' influence
What do you need from me
Seeking understanding of others' needs
I'm never giving you my songs
Protecting personal creative expressions
Why can't you see I'm not just a kid that don't belong
Desire to be seen beyond stereotypes or perceptions
Why can't you leave me be
Requesting space or freedom from interference
I'm just trying to move on
Striving to progress despite hindrances
Trying to move on
Reiterating the effort to move forward
Woah
An exclamation or a heightened emotional state
What do you want from me
Questioning the intentions of others
You make me feel so wrong
Feeling emotionally conflicted by someone's influence
What do you need from me
Seeking understanding of someone's requirements
I'm never giving you my songs
Protective of personal creations or expressions
Why can't you see I'm not just a kid that don't belong
Expressing a desire to be seen for more than perceived
Why can't you leave me be
Requesting space or freedom from interference
I'm just trying to move on
Attempting to progress despite obstacles
Trying to move on
Reiterating the endeavor to move forward
Yeah yeah
Expression of determination to move on</
