I Don't Feel Like Me
Lost in Shadows: Talulah Ruby's Struggle with Identity
Lyrics
There’s a room in my head, that I go to sometimes
Describing a mental space the singer visits occasionally.
I lock myself away and it’s there I cut ties
Isolating oneself emotionally, severing connections.
Whenever I suffocate,a it’s where I’ve gone to retreat
Seeking refuge in this mental space during suffocating moments.
A habit I’ve known, a habit I’ve grown to need
Acknowledging a reliance on this coping mechanism.
I don’t feel like me
Repetition emphasizes the persistent feeling of disconnection.
I don’t feel like me
-I don’t feel like me
-I don’t feel like me
-I’ve fallen free, of friends in need
Expressing a sense of detachment from supportive friends.
I’m alone it seems, I need rescuing
Feeling alone and in need of rescue.
Off of the ground, i’m not thirsty
Being lifted off the ground, not craving attention.
Oh, now they want all the best seats
Others showing interest only when the singer succeeds.
To watch me
Highlighting the audience's desire to witness the singer's struggles.
Fall into pieces, for once
Anticipating a personal breakdown or crisis.
Unlike me
Acknowledging the departure from one's usual self.
They will all just watch me go bust
Expecting others to watch without offering assistance.
On their screens
Suggesting a passive audience watching through screens.
I don’t feel like me
Reiterating the persistent feeling of not being oneself.
I don’t feel like me
-I don’t feel like me
-I don’t feel like me
-They stopped listening
Perceiving a lack of attention or understanding from others.
Too much, to think
Overwhelmed by thoughts, leading to a disconnect.
I don’t feel like me
Repeating the central theme of feeling disconnected from oneself.
I don’t feel like me
-I don’t feel like me
-I don’t feel like me
