Lyrics

Is it over?

Expressing uncertainty or questioning if a situation has concluded.

Did it end while I was gone?

Wondering if the end occurred in one's absence.

'Cause my shoulders

Referring to the burden or responsibility metaphorically carried on the shoulders.

Couldn't hold that weight for long

Suggesting the inability to bear that burden for an extended period.

And it all just feels the same

Conveying a sense of monotony or repetitiveness in the experience.


Somebody better let me know my name

Expressing a desire for self-recognition or identity clarification.

Before I give myself away

Fearing unintentional self-disclosure or vulnerability.

Somebody better show me how I feel

Seeking external guidance or validation for one's emotions.

'Cause I know I'm not at the wheel

Acknowledging a lack of control or influence over the situation.


Is it over?

Did it last or come undone?

'Cause I told ya

Recalling a prior commitment to avoid causing harm.

I didn't wanna hurt no one

Emphasizing the desire to avoid hurting others.

But the faces are all the same

Noting a sense of sameness or lack of distinction in the faces encountered.


Somebody better let me know my name

Reiterating the need for self-recognition or identity confirmation.

Before I give myself away

Expressing caution or reluctance to reveal oneself prematurely.

Somebody better show me how I feel

Desiring external assistance in understanding personal emotions.

'Cause I know I'm not at the wheel

Acknowledging a lack of personal control or agency.


Somebody better let me know my name

Repeating the plea for self-recognition or identity clarification.
