Never Wanted To
Navigating Doubts: Tigers Jaw's Poetic Reflections on Self-Discovery
Lyrics
There's a rhythm in my head
Expressing the presence of a consistent mental pattern or thought.
There's a reason I don't think straight
Acknowledging a difficulty in maintaining clear thinking.
I get distracted by my own design
Being preoccupied with one's own created distractions or problems.
Afraid of heights wondering if I would die if I fell from this
Feeling fear or apprehension, possibly related to a metaphorical height.
There's an aching in my back
Indicating physical discomfort or emotional burden.
There's a reason I don't stand up straight
Connecting physical posture to an emotional or mental state.
I want to blend in with everyone
Desiring to conform or be inconspicuous in a social context.
Looking down at a representation of real life, all the time
Constantly observing a representation of reality instead of engaging directly.
I never wanted to believe you
Expressing a reluctance to believe someone or something.
Dig up the past and be afraid of what you might find
Emphasizing hesitation to revisit past experiences due to potential negative discoveries.
And I wanted to leave here
Expressing a desire to escape or distance oneself from a situation.
I had no choice but to believe you
Indicating a lack of choice but to trust or believe in something.
There's an echo in the air
Highlighting a lingering or repeated sound or memory.
Pulling my focus from the moment
Experiencing difficulty in staying focused on the present moment.
I'm feeling haunted by my old friends
Feeling haunted or troubled by memories of old friends.
You see my heaven but I feel my hell creeping in
Perceiving a contrast between an external appearance of happiness and an internal sense of distress.
I never wanted to believe you
Reiterating the reluctance to believe or trust someone or something.
Dig up the past and be afraid of what you might find
Reinforcing the fear of uncovering unpleasant aspects from the past.
And I wanted to leave here
Expressing a wish or need to escape from the current situation.
I had no choice but to believe you
Acknowledging a lack of alternative choices but to believe in something.
There's a rhythm in my head
Repeating the presence of a recurring mental pattern or thought.
There's a reason I don't think straight
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining clear thinking.
There's a rhythm in my head
Repeating the presence of a recurring mental pattern or thought.
There's a reason I don't think straight
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining clear thinking.
