Shut It Off
Overwhelmed in a Wired World: Seeking Silence
Lyrics
It's only human to think like that
It's a typical human behavior or characteristic to think in that manner.
Cause you see it everywhere
This type of thinking is observed commonly in various places or situations.
Try to distract myself
Attempting to divert attention or focus away from something.
Nowadays looking up is rare
In current times, it's uncommon to look upward or be optimistic.
Conditioned to compare
Trained or accustomed to evaluate things by making comparisons.
Why do we even care
Questioning the significance or necessity of caring or being concerned.
Try to keep it tame
Attempting to control or restrain emotions or reactions.
But then we turn it on again and again
Despite attempts at control, repeatedly engaging or activating something (possibly a feeling or behavior).
And my eyes get cloudy
Experiencing unclear vision metaphorically or possibly clouded judgment.
And my ears are ringing
Sensations of ringing in the ears, indicating overwhelming feelings or confusion.
Now my eyes get foggy
Vision becoming unclear or hazy.
And I can't hear you speaking
Unable to hear or comprehend what someone is saying, possibly due to mental or emotional overload.
So please someone shut it off
Requesting someone to intervene and stop something because the individual can't control it on their own.
Cause I just can't do it myself
Expressing inability to handle or manage a situation without external help.
Knew this would happen
Awareness or anticipation of the current circumstance or outcome.
Dragged into collision
Being unwillingly drawn into a conflict or collision of sorts.
So please someone shut it off
Repetition of the plea for someone to stop or intervene due to personal inability.
Cause I just can't do it myself
Repeated expression of inability to handle something independently.
Knew this would happen
Recognition of foreseeing the current situation or outcome.
Dragged into collision
Forced into an unwanted or involuntary collision or confrontation.
