Smash
Unlocking Emotions: The Transformative Power of Goo Goo Dolls' Smash
Lyrics
Hey, what are ya thinkin'
Curiosity about someone's thoughts or feelings
I tried to read your face
An attempt to understand emotions through facial expressions
Say, say what you're thinkin'
Requesting honesty or openness about thoughts
Don't carry round that pain
Advising against carrying emotional burden or hurt
Every time I see you pickin' at yourself
Observing self-destructive behavior in the person
I love, I love when things work out
Expressing joy when things resolve positively
Smash, I heard ya cryin'
Acknowledging hearing the person crying multiple times
Seven times this year
Specifying the frequency of hearing the person cry
Crash, 'cause now you're smilin'
Noticing the person smiling after emotional turmoil
Holdin' back your tears
Suppressing tears despite emotional pain
Every time I see you pickin' at yourself
Repetition of noticing self-harm behavior
I love, I love when things work out
Reiterating happiness when situations resolve well
Every time I see you torturin' yourself
Witnessing someone causing themselves emotional distress
I love, I love when things work out
Reiterating happiness when situations resolve well
And I see it from another place right now
Seeing things from a different perspective
I'm comin' home before I hit the ground
Returning to a place of comfort before facing difficulties
Right back where I want to be right now
Expressing desire to be in a preferred place or state
Smash
Repeating the word "Smash" as a lyrical emphasis
And I feel it
Feeling a sensation or emotion strongly
Smash
Repeating the sensation or emotion felt strongly
And I feel it
-Smash
-And I feel it
Feeling a sensation or emotion strongly "Right now"
Right now
Immediate presence of strong sensation or emotion
