They Say I'm Complex, I Think I'm Fucked
Navigating Chaos: Two For Flinchin's Candid Reflection on Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
YEAH YEAH YEAH!
Expression of enthusiasm or agreement.
The only attention I'm getting these days is from friends trying to send me to clinics
Attention received is from friends suggesting rehab.
And every time I want to start something new, I remind myself I'll never finish
Struggle with starting and completing new endeavors.
The only thing that can take off the edge is a drink and a record, let's spin it
Alcohol and music as coping mechanisms for stress.
And I really am sorry if I blatantly ignore you, I was thinking about death for a minute
Apology for neglecting others due to thoughts of death.
But you can't understand
Others cannot comprehend the speaker's experience.
Cause if you did, you'd act like me too
If understood, others might act similarly.
And I've been driving myself fucking crazy trying to figure out what I should do, yeah
Internal struggle causing mental distress.
So I drown it out with cheap beer and cigarettes, let's chain smoke them all till there gone
Escaping problems with alcohol and cigarettes.
Think about how it's about time that I sober up from this bad trip that I've been on
Acknowledging the need to sober up from a destructive phase.
I'll drown it out with music and company but it isn't working the same
Finding solace in music and company, but it's not effective.
Even though I know I like to point fingers, it's really just me I should blame
Admitting personal responsibility despite blaming others.
FUCK!
Exclamation indicating frustration or intensity.
I get this feeling the music I'm writing will never be worth anything
Doubt about the value of the music being created.
In five to ten years I'll look back on all this and say isn't this funny I thought I could sing
Anticipating future regret for overestimating musical abilities.
Life has been feeling a lot like a timebomb and I've just been hopeless and lost
Life feeling unpredictable, with a sense of hopelessness.
It wouldn't matter if I got there before it blew up, cause I don't know which wires need crossed
Uncertainty about avoiding a crisis, not knowing the right path.
You can't understand
Others can't understand the speaker's internal struggles.
If you did you'd wanna die
If understood, others might feel the same desperation.
I have no choice but to walk out on all of my friends and family
Forced to distance oneself from friends and family without goodbyes.
Not a single good-bye, yeah
Highlighting the abruptness of the separation.
I'll drown it out with cheap beer and cigarettes
Returning to coping mechanisms of alcohol and cigarettes.
Let's chain smoke them all till there gone
Continuing the self-destructive behaviors.
Think about how it's about time that I sober up from the bad trip that I've been on
Reiteration of the need to sober up from a destructive phase.
Ill drown it out with music and company but it isn't working the same
Finding solace in music and company, but it's not effective.
Even though I know and I'd like to point fingers, it's really just me I should blame blame blame blame blame
Acknowledging self-blame despite the tendency to blame others.
They say I'm complex, I think we're all fucked
Recognition of personal complexity and a belief in shared struggles.
They say I'm complex, I think we're all fucked
Reiteration of the shared sense of being "fucked" or struggling.
