Piece of You
Unraveling the Masks of Emotional Numbness
Lyrics
Go on and let yourself in and out of the moment
Encouraging the listener to be present and engaged in the moment.
I broke the lock off the door when I tried to decode it
Describing a failed attempt to understand or unlock a situation.
Oh, at least when you're numb
Finding solace or escape in emotional numbness.
There's a certain kind of certainty in the cold
Noting a sense of certainty in the emotional detachment or coldness.
So I make myself numb
Choosing to numb oneself, navigating the unknown.
Never knowing where the current leads, I unfold
Embracing uncertainty and unpredictability in life.
I take a piece of you everywhere, oh whoa
Symbolically carrying a part of someone with them wherever they go.
And now I'm sinking, I'm overthinking
Expressing sinking emotions and excessive thinking.
I'll never learn to listen to the pain
Reflecting on the difficulty of learning from emotional pain.
And now I feel like a stranger in my skin
Feeling disconnected from one's own identity.
I watch my focus shift in and out of the moment
Observing a shift in focus in and out of the present moment.
The indecision to speak is how our voices were stolen
Highlighting the silence and loss of voices in decision-making.
There's comfort in believing the mask I see in my reflection
Finding comfort in a superficial or deceptive self-image.
Only when I stepped away
Realizing loneliness when stepping away from the constructed identity.
Loneliness was echoing
Loneliness becomes apparent when self-deception is abandoned.
It's my fatal imperfection
Acceptance of a flaw or weakness as a defining characteristic.
I take a piece of you everywhere, oh whoa
Continuing to carry a symbolic part of someone in all experiences.
And now I'm sinking, I'm overthinking
Reiterating emotional struggles and excessive thinking.
I'll never learn to listen to the pain
Expressing difficulty in learning from and understanding emotional pain.
And now I feel like a stranger in my skin
Feeling alienated from one's own emotional experience.
Oh, at least when you're numb
Repeating the theme of finding comfort in emotional numbness.
There's a certain kind of certainty in the cold
Highlighting the certainty found in emotional detachment.
So I make myself numb
Choosing to numb oneself as a response to uncertainty.
Never knowing where the current leads, I unfold
Embracing the unknown and unfolding path while remaining emotionally detached.
I take a piece of you everywhere, oh whoa
Continuing to carry a symbolic part of someone in all experiences.
And now I'm sinking, I'm overthinking
Reiterating emotional struggles and excessive thinking.
I'll never learn to listen to the pain
Expressing difficulty in learning from and understanding emotional pain.
And now I feel like a stranger in my skin
Reiterating the feeling of estrangement from one's own emotions.
