Good Grief
Navigating Turmoil: Emotional Odyssey in 'Good Grief' by Spacey Jane
Lyrics
You stand so tall in your head
You seem confident or composed in your thoughts or mind.
I’ll erase it all until your dead
I'll eliminate or erase everything until you're deceased.
And regret that I didn’t call
Feeling remorseful for not making a call.
But enough is enough, my heart is sunk
Reached a breaking point emotionally, feeling deeply distressed.
And it feels like 16, like a magazine, like I’m undoing
Experiencing a sensation akin to being 16 again, reminiscent of a magazine's content, feeling like undoing something, possibly a shell of emotions in bed.
A husk in my bed
There's a hollow or empty feeling within oneself when alone in bed.
And I drive, it’s dusk, my eyes all red
Driving during dusk with red eyes, possibly indicating exhaustion or emotional strain.
And a short, a fleeting thought comes in
A brief, passing thought enters the mind.
You’re alive until you own the sin
You feel alive until you take responsibility for your wrongdoing.
And it feels like 18, like a guillotine, like I’m…
Similar to feeling 18 again, reminiscent of a guillotine, possibly indicating a sense of impending consequences or pressure.
Kicked out of home, mumma, 10 and alone
Recalling being kicked out of home at a young age, feeling abandoned.
I don’t care about things that I’m too young to know
Unconcerned about things one is too young to understand.
Rusted stovetop kettle boiling, feeling like my brain is rolling
Describing a boiling kettle on a rusty stovetop, feeling mentally overwhelmed.
Like underneath my clothing, itching skin, my aching body
Feeling discomfort beneath the surface, physically and mentally.
Good Grief! Your own creation, lost for words I find my patience
Expressing surprise or dismay ("Good Grief!") at one's own situation or circumstances, struggling to articulate feelings due to frustration.
Like in the heated moment, up for grabs but never noticed
Feeling overlooked or unnoticed despite being emotionally available.
Inside my home a shaking crawl
Anxiety or distress felt within one's home environment.
And your eyes do roll and sheets get torn
Witnessing someone's eyes rolling and sheets getting torn during an emotional episode.
And again a fleeting thought is formed
A fleeting thought emerges but disappears quickly.
But in 5 it’s gone, the TV’s on
Thoughts dissipate quickly when distracted by the TV.
And I dream of release and the tears ease, and I fear…
Dreaming of relief from the situation while tears subside, but still experiencing fear.
Kicked out of home, mumma, ten and alone
Repeating the memory of being expelled from home at a young age.
I don’t care about things that I’m too young to know
Remaining unconcerned about matters beyond one's age or understanding.
Rusted stovetop kettle boiling, feeling like my brain is rolling
Reiterating the overwhelming feeling akin to a boiling kettle on a rusty stovetop.
Like underneath my clothing, itching skin, my aching body
Continued discomfort beneath the surface, physically and mentally.
Good grief! Your own creation, lost for words I find my patience
Expressing surprise or frustration ("Good Grief!") at one's situation, struggling to find patience due to feeling lost for words.
Like in the heated moment, up for grabs but never noticed
Feeling emotionally available but consistently overlooked or disregarded.
