Distractions
Navigating Distractions: A Journey through Love, Loss, and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I can hear you talking to me
I perceive your communication with me.
But I can't concentrate
My focus is disrupted; I struggle to concentrate.
I gotta post my feelings
I need to express my emotions publicly for others to empathize.
So that strangers relate
Sharing my feelings for strangers to connect with.
I see you reaching out to me
I notice your attempt to connect with me.
But I'm so far away
Despite that, I feel emotionally distant.
I just keep making mistakes
I continuously make errors.
I just keep making mistakes
Repeated acknowledgment of making mistakes.
I've got distractions
I am surrounded by diversions and disruptions.
I'm so fake
Expressing a sense of being inauthentic or insincere.
But I've got potential
Recognizing potential within oneself but feeling fear.
But I'm afraid
Despite potential, there's a fear that holds me back.
You always stay when I wanna run
You remain present when I desire to escape.
You always run when I need someone
You withdraw when I seek companionship.
You used to say we could be anything
Past optimism about a limitless future together.
But now you pack up your shit and leave
Present reality: you leave, packing your belongings.
We've said goodbye a thousand times
Frequent goodbyes, indicating a troubled relationship.
You wear your scars on the inside
Emotional scars are hidden internally.
Without you here, I don't feel right
Without your presence, I feel unsettled.
I can't get over you
Unable to move on from the past.
I can't get over you
Reiteration of the difficulty in overcoming the past.
I can't get over you
Continued struggle in moving forward.
I can't go on
A point of emotional stagnation; unable to continue.
I'll spend another night with all my distractions
Choosing distractions to avoid facing reality.
Take another drink and post myself laughin'
Using substances to cope and presenting a facade.
Keep staring at my phone, wait for your reaction
Seeking validation through phone interactions.
But nothing ever comes and I can't get over you
No response, and the struggle to move on persists.
I care too much what people think
Affected by others' opinions; caring too much.
We only see what we wanna see
Selective perception; seeing what we want to see.
You say I need to disconnect
Suggested need for disconnection despite appearing happy.
But we look so happy on the internet
Contrast between online happiness and internal struggle.
I fill my head up with regret
Regret and self-blame fill the mind.
You're never easy to forget
You, the subject, are unforgettable but challenging.
Maybe we can reconnect
Hoping for a possible reconnection.
I can't get over you
Reiteration of the difficulty in moving on.
I can't get over you
Continued struggle in overcoming emotional hurdles.
I can't get over you
Repeating the inability to move forward.
I can't go on, Oh
Emphasizing the emotional standstill.
I can't go on
Expressing an inability to proceed.
I care too much what people think
Reiterating the impact of others' opinions on self-esteem.
We only see what we wanna see
Highlighting the selective nature of perception.
You say I need to disconnect
Suggested need for disconnection despite public happiness.
But we look so happy on the internet
Contrast between online portrayal and internal feelings.
I fill my head up with regret
Regret and self-blame persist in thoughts.
You're never easy to forget
You, the subject, are indelibly etched in memory.
Maybe we can reconnect
Exploring the possibility of reconnecting.
I can't go on
Stating an emotional inability to continue.
I can't go on
Reiterating the emotional difficulty in moving forward.
