Lyrics
I put my hands and my heart on the table
I openly reveal my emotions and vulnerability.
and then both of them turned to stone
Despite my openness, there's a sense of emotional numbness or detachment.
I know I shouldn't bother to keep it together
Acknowledging the difficulty of maintaining composure.
tie me up in a beautiful bow
Expressing a desire to be restrained or held in a pleasing way.
and I know, and I know
Repetition emphasizing uncertainty or doubt.
you've got somewhere to be
Awareness of the other person's commitments or priorities.
is that somewhere with me?
Questioning if those commitments include the speaker.
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
Resistance or unpreparedness for a certain experience.
I'm not ready to learn
Expressing a lack of readiness to gain knowledge or experience.
something feels so familiar
Sensation of familiarity with something.
but I can't find myself in the mirror
Difficulty in recognizing oneself in the reflection.
yea something feels so familiar
Reiteration of the familiar feeling despite self-disconnection.
but I can't find myself in the
Continuation of the struggle to identify with oneself.
after the sky turns to grey
Describing a bleak or uninspiring atmosphere.
and the city looks like somebody's forgotten dream
Comparing the city to a forgotten dream, emphasizing abandonment.
I go out for a walk
Engaging in a mundane activity to interact with undesirable individuals.
just to talk to the people that I don't want to talk to again
Avoiding conversations with people the speaker wishes to avoid.
and I know
Reiteration of self-awareness regarding personal challenges.
I know I've got a chip on my shoulder
Acknowledging a lingering emotional burden.
don't tell me you don't
Challenging the other person's understanding of the speaker's struggles.
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
Continued resistance or hesitance to face a certain reality.
I'm not ready to learn
Reiteration of not being prepared to gain knowledge or experience.
something feels so familiar
Repeating the sensation of familiarity despite internal disconnection.
but I can't find myself in the mirror
Reiterating the challenge of recognizing oneself in the mirror.
yea something feels so familiar
Continuation of the struggle to reconcile with one's own identity.
but I can't find myself in the mirror
Repeating the difficulty in finding oneself in the reflection.
something feels so familiar
Emphasizing the persistent feeling of familiarity.
but I can't find myself in the mirror
Continued challenge in connecting with one's own reflection.
yea something feels so familiar
Reiteration of the persistent but elusive familiarity.
but I can't find myself in the
Continued struggle to recognize oneself in the mirror.
