Ask Me How I Am
Navigating Shadows: A Tale of Redemption and Self-Reflection
Lyrics
Has nobody asked you how you are?
Expresses surprise that nobody has inquired about the listener's well-being.
You look like you might not last the day
Suggests the listener appears distressed and may not endure the day.
I wouldn't have made it very far
The singer wouldn't have coped well without support.
So we'd make a good team right away
Implies a potential immediate connection due to shared difficulties.
I've not made amends for yesterday
Admits to not resolving past issues or mistakes.
My lip won't get me out of it
Suggests inability to talk their way out of trouble.
Waking up dreading hearing tales
Waking up with anxiety about hearing distressing stories.
Of all of my nightmares being true
Feeling fearful that all their fears might become reality.
Has nobody asked you how you are?
Repeats the surprise that no one has asked about the listener's well-being.
You look like you might not last the day
Reiterates the concern about the listener's possible struggle today.
I wouldn't have made it very far
Confirms the singer's own fragility in a difficult situation.
So we'd make a good team right away
Proposes an immediate alliance due to shared adversity.
I've not made amends for yesterday
Reaffirms a lack of reconciliation for past actions.
My lip won't get me out of it
Indicates an inability to talk oneself out of trouble.
Waking up dreading hearing tales
Awakening with dread about encountering distressing stories.
Of all of my nightmares being true
Fearing that all the terrible things they dread might come true.
I take a breath and grab the phone
Preparing to call someone, hoping they won't answer.
Secretly hoping you're not home
Desiring to leave a message instead of speaking directly.
I'd leave a message, I was out
Planning to lie about being 'out' due to intoxication.
Out of my mind on drink and drugs
Admits to being inebriated and under the influence of drugs.
