Same Mistakes
Repetitive Choices: Chasing a Numb High
Lyrics
High speed, got so high in the city, yeah
Expressing a heightened state, possibly due to excitement or stimulation, in an urban setting.
Nose bleed, I think I've gotta leave
Experiencing a nosebleed, a physical reaction, and contemplating leaving the current situation.
I kinda wish you were here, near
Expressing a desire for someone's presence, emphasizing the feeling of closeness.
I've tried hard to fight the feeling
Struggling to resist or overcome a certain emotion or impulse.
All night staring at the ceiling
Spending the entire night in contemplation, perhaps overthinking or facing inner turmoil.
These choices always get me down, down
Feeling burdened or disheartened by recurring choices and their consequences.
I tried something and I don't even know
Experimenting with something, the nature of which is uncertain or undisclosed.
What's contained in these pills that I swallow
Questioning the content and effects of ingested pills, indicating a potential struggle with substances.
I keep on making the same mistakes (yeah)
Admitting a pattern of repeating the same errors or misjudgments.
I keep on making, on making, on making them
Reiterating the repetition of making mistakes, acknowledging a lack of change.
No sleep, all you're getting out of me is
Describing a state of insomnia and the physical and mental toll it takes.
Slurred speech and why am I here
Experiencing impaired speech and questioning one's presence in a certain situation.
I came so close, can't let go, I don't know
Expressing proximity to success but struggling to release or move on.
It's unclear, so unclear
Describing a situation that is unclear or ambiguous.
And I'm up all night (up all night)
Indicating a period of staying awake throughout the night.
No, I'm not alright (not alright)
Asserting a state of not being okay or well.
Just breathe, just breathe
Encouraging oneself to take a moment to breathe and find composure.
'Cause I tried something and I don't even know
Reflecting on the uncertainty surrounding a previous action or decision.
What's contained in these pills that I swallow
Repeating the questioning of pill content, suggesting continued uncertainty or concern.
I keep on making the same mistakes (yeah)
Acknowledging a persistent cycle of repeating familiar mistakes.
I keep on making, on making, on making them
Reiterating the continuous repetition of making mistakes.
I love this feeling, I'm so numb
Expressing a paradoxical enjoyment of feeling emotionally numb.
Say something 'cause I can't give it up
Requesting communication as an inability to give up the current state or feeling.
I keep on making mistakes, yeah
Acknowledging the ongoing pattern of making mistakes.
I keep on making, on making, on making them
Reiterating the continuous repetition of making mistakes.
I think this feeling won't go away
Expressing a belief that a particular feeling will persist.
And for some reason, I feel this way
Describing an unexplained emotional state and the inability to understand it.
Help me, oh help me for goodness sake
Seeking help or guidance due to an awareness of repeating mistakes.
Cause I never learn from my mistakes, from my mistakes
Acknowledging a failure to learn from past mistakes.
