Nothing is Alright
Navigating the Maze of Regret: Nothing is Alright
Lyrics
My paint peels off of my walls
Expressing deterioration or decay in personal space or emotions.
Won't gloss over it again
Refusing to overlook or cover up problems again.
I won't pick up I won't mend, I said
Committing to not respond or fix the situation.
My indecision makes me feel small
Feeling diminished by the inability to make decisions.
No surprise you ran and hid
Not surprised by someone avoiding confrontation.
I was just a stupid kid
Acknowledging past naivety and mistakes.
And I regret everything I ever did
Expressing remorse for all past actions.
When I'm alone at night
Describing a sense of loneliness during the night.
I feel my brain's too tired
Feeling mentally exhausted and unable to rest.
To sleep through to daylight
Struggling to sleep and facing the darkness.
Cos nothing is alright
Conveying a general feeling of dissatisfaction and despair.
I don't know why I lied
Admitting to dishonesty without understanding the reason.
It's my fault that you cried
Taking responsibility for causing someone to cry.
Yeah you know it's on my head
Acknowledging guilt and culpability for negative outcomes.
And I can't think straight anymore
Expressing confusion and an inability to think clearly.
I try to work on my flaws
Attempting to address personal flaws but feeling overwhelmed.
But they pile up on my chest
Problems accumulating and affecting one's well-being.
Never see clear through the mess, I said
Struggling to see a way through challenges.
I try to keep my mind an open door
Intention to maintain an open mind despite difficulties.
But I'm wrapped up in my quilt
Feeling emotionally closed off and protected.
Like a flower left to wilt
Using the metaphor of a wilted flower to depict emotional state.
Hard to open up when I'm crushed with the guilt
Difficulty opening up due to overwhelming guilt.
When I'm alone at night
Reiterating feelings of loneliness during the night.
I feel my brain's too tired
Repeating the sense of mental fatigue and insomnia.
To sleep through to daylight
Struggling to transition from night to daylight.
Cos nothing is alright
Reiterating the overall sense of dissatisfaction and despair.
I don't know why I lied
Repeating the lack of understanding behind dishonesty.
It's my fault that you cried
Reiterating responsibility for causing someone emotional pain.
Yeah you know it's on my head
Reiterating acknowledgment of guilt and culpability.
And I can't think straight anymore
Reiterating confusion and impaired cognitive function.
