Embracing Independence: "This is the life I choose
Lyrics
Lonely soul, I walk this road
Expressing a sense of isolation and solitude while navigating life.
This monkey on my back
Referring to a burdensome problem or addiction that the singer carries.
My filter’s torn. My patience worn out
Describing a lack of emotional filter and diminished patience.
Anxiety attacks
Acknowledging the experience of anxiety attacks.
Here it comes again
Anticipating the recurrence of a challenging situation or emotion.
They lose their minds when I speak mine
People react negatively when the singer expresses their thoughts.
So to myself I keep
Choosing to keep thoughts to oneself due to the negative reactions.
Overload. I lose control
Feeling overwhelmed and losing control of emotions or situations.
This harvest they soon reap
Referring to the negative consequences that others will face soon.
Here it comes again
Reiteration of the anticipation of a challenging situation.
Here it comes again
Repetition for emphasis on the impending difficulty.
You’re always lookin’ at me
Addressing the perception of being constantly observed or judged.
Like you hate what you see
Feeling disliked by others based on their gaze.
But you all fail to realize
Asserting that others fail to understand the singer's perspective.
You don’t mean shit to me
Dismissing the significance of others' opinions on the singer's life.
I walk around this world
Approaching life with a sense of recklessness or fearlessness.
Like I got nothin’ to lose
Conveying a carefree attitude and a perception of having nothing to lose.
You’ll never understand
Highlighting the difficulty for others to comprehend the singer's choices.
This is the life I choose
Affirming the conscious decision to embrace a particular lifestyle.
The battle’s done and no one’s won
Describing a conflict or struggle that remains unresolved.
I hide under my rock
Retreating or seeking refuge in a metaphorical "rock" during challenges.
It will return. The fire still burns
Indicating the persistence of a passionate or intense emotion.
No signs of its stop
No signs of the passionate emotion subsiding.
Lonely soul. I walk this road
Repetition of the feeling of walking a lonely path with burdens.
This monkey on my back
Reiteration of the burdensome nature of the singer's struggles.
My filter’s torn. My patience worn out
Restating the lack of emotional filter and diminished patience.
Anxiety attacks

Here it comes again
