Baking Bread: A Poignant Journey Through Darkness and Dough
Lyrics
Nothing seems right these days
Feeling of discomfort or dissatisfaction in current circumstances.
I haven't any words left to say
Expressing a sense of speechlessness or emotional exhaustion.
I'm probably not okay
Acknowledging potential emotional struggles or challenges.
But what can I do?
An expression of helplessness in the face of difficulties.
So I fake a smile
Masking true emotions with a fake smile.
Show up for a while
Engaging in social activities despite inner turmoil.
Then end up lying, crying on the kitchen tile
Revealing the emotional breakdown in private moments.
What can I do?
Reiteration of the sense of helplessness.
Just one thing makes me feel alive when inside I'm dead
Finding solace in a specific activity, baking bread.
Baking bread
Emphasizing the therapeutic nature of baking bread.
Baking bread
Repetition for emphasis on the significance of bread baking.
Do you think a depressed person could bake five baguettes a day?
Raising a rhetorical question about the capability of a depressed person to engage in productive activities.
I'm getting through this
Expressing resilience and determination to overcome challenges.
In my own way
Asserting independence in coping with personal struggles.
I was happy, what went wrong?
Reflecting on a past state of happiness and questioning its loss.
Maybe I listened to too many lo-fi songs
Suggesting an association between emotional state and external influences like music.
My sad playlist is way too long
Highlighting the extensive duration of a playlist focused on sadness.
They tell me to get some fresh air
Receiving advice to improve mental well-being.
They say you're fine just do some self care
Contrasting external advice with the internal emotional struggle.
I know I should be happy but the feeling is just not there
Recognizing the expectation of happiness but lacking the corresponding feeling.
Just one thing makes me feel alive when inside I'm dead
Reiteration of finding solace in baking bread amid emotional numbness.
Baking bread
Emphasizing the therapeutic nature of baking bread once again.
Baking bread
Repetition for emphasis on the continued significance of bread baking.
Do you think a depressed person could bake five baguettes a day?
Reiteration of the rhetorical question about a depressed person's productivity in baking.
No way
Denial of the possibility of a depressed person baking five baguettes a day.
Well I don't care
Expressing indifference towards others' opinions.
What they say
Asserting a desire for a simple and fulfilling life.
I want to live a simple life
Expressing the aspiration for a straightforward life centered around baking bread.
Baking bread
Reiteration of finding solace in baking bread and its significance.
Baking bread
Emphasizing the continued therapeutic nature of baking bread.
I gotta get out of my own head
Acknowledging the need to break free from negative thoughts.
So I'm baking, five baguettes a day
Committing to the routine of baking five baguettes a day as a coping mechanism.
I'm getting through this
Reasserting resilience and determination in overcoming challenges.
In my own way
Asserting independence in coping with personal struggles, echoing line 14.
