Lyrics
Wise man once said,
Introduction: Referring to advice from a wise person about not pretending to be okay when feeling otherwise.
“Don’t pretend to be okay when you are not okay.”
Emphasizing the importance of honesty about one's emotional state.
So here I am, I’m not okay
Admitting the speaker is not okay emotionally.
Suicide all up on my mind
Expressing thoughts of suicide, feeling trapped, and finding solace in getting high. The speaker struggles with lies and exhaustion.
At night when it’s do or die
-Wanna take my life
-Got nowhere to hide
-Till I’m getting high
-Then she ask me why
-Look me in the eye
-I see all the lies
-Watch me stand on ice
-If you see me cry
-I’ll say I’m alright
-But I’m getting tired
-So I spark that fire
-And I’m getting higher
-Suicide all up on my mind
Reiteration of suicidal thoughts, the struggle to hide emotions, and seeking relief through substance use.
At night when it’s do or die
-Wanna take my fucking life
-Got nowhere to hide
-Till I’m getting high
-Then she ask me why
-Look me in the eye
-I see all the lies
-Watch me stand on ice
-If you see me cry
-I’ll say I’m alright
-But I’m getting tired
-So I spark that fire
-And I’m getting higher
-Don’t wanna see anything anymore
Expressing a desire to disconnect from everything, not wanting to be present anymore.
Don’t wanna be here anymore, no
-Don’t wanna see anything anymore
-Don’t wanna be here anymore, no
-Don’t wanna see anything anymore
-Don’t wanna be here anymore, no
-Don’t wanna be here anymore
-Don’t wanna be here
Repetition of the reluctance to be present.
I’ve broken and tossed to the side like nothing
Describing a feeling of being discarded, making choices and facing consequences, acknowledging emotional pain, regretting lost connections, and expressing a reluctance to let go.
Choose wisely and whatever comes out you better own it
-Whatever damage you cause you better sow it
-I know I’ll never be okay
-Cause It’s do or die
-They pray on my demise
-And my heart has failed
-In my feelings I dwell
-Living in my own hell
-Stuck in my cell
-In love I fell
-Under a damn spell
-Falling off the rails
-With my heart you played
-Couldn’t pick up the pace
-How I wished you stayed
-Can’t forget your face
-And I regret the space
-Between us both
-And I don’t wanna let go
-No I don’t wanna let go
Final line expressing a resistance to letting go of something significant.
