Holly
Enigmatic Echoes: Theater Kids' 'Holly' Unraveled
Lyrics
I confide eyes are rolling
I share my inner thoughts, and people are dismissive or uninterested
Keep that gaslight shining
Maintain the illusion, don't let the truth come to light
Just call me when you get home
Reach out to me when you arrive home
She said look who you became
A critique of the person I've become
Over one little mistake
An emphasis on how a small error has defined me
She said people grow and people change
Acknowledgment that individuals evolve and transform
A leap of faith I can't escape
Taking a chance that feels inescapable
I'm on, I'm on, I'm on, I'm on the way home
En route to my home
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing but dial tone
No response but the sound of a disconnected call
You there? You there? You there? You there? I'm here now
Checking if you're present, questioning my reality
Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up I freak out
Anxiety and desperation to connect
Holly Holly look what you've done to me
Addressing the impact of someone named Holly
I can't see, I can't breathe
Feeling overwhelmed, impaired senses
Please cut deep my envy
Requesting to be deeply affected by jealousy
I'm pleading for your mercy, God
Pleading for divine mercy
In the coat room hiding
Seeking refuge in a place away from public view
Are those white lies smiling?
Doubting the sincerity of seemingly innocent lies
You thought we were on a break
Believing there was a relationship pause
Said "You are so insecure forget it"
Being told to forget insecurities, implying insensitivity
"It was just casual" Yeah I get it
Downplaying a connection as casual, understanding it now
I guess we'll agree to disagree
Accepting differences of opinion
Patch it up with make-believe
Resolving issues with imaginary solutions
I'm on, I'm on, I'm on, I'm on the way home
Heading home, repeating the journey
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing but dial tone
No response, only the echoing sound of a disconnected call
You there? You there? You there? You there? I've had it
Confirming your presence, reaching my limit
Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up I panic
Frantically trying to connect, succumbing to panic
Holly Holly look what you've done to me
Reflecting on the impact of Holly, emotional turmoil
I can't see, I can't breathe
Feeling blinded and breathless due to the situation
Please cut deep my envy
Imploring for deep emotional impact from envy
I'm pleading for your mercy
Continuing to beg for mercy from a higher power
Holly Holly
Repetition of the name Holly for emphasis

-Lord spare us these night terrors, I'm only a human error
Expressing a plea for protection from distressing nightmares, acknowledging human fallibility
Lord spare us these night terrors, I'm only a human error
