Understand
Unraveling Emotions: Tyler Posey's 'Understand' Chronicles the Struggle
Lyrics
Waited, I waited way too long now
Expressing impatience and regret for waiting too long.
Can't keep this up now
Acknowledging an inability to sustain the current situation.
So I'll fake it
Choosing to pretend or act rather than confront the issue.
Cuz I can't seem to break this
Struggling to overcome a challenging situation or emotion.
It's gonna break me down
Anticipating a breakdown or emotional collapse.
I wanted to get right back up but you wouldn't let me come back around
Expressing a desire to rebound but facing resistance.
I wanted
Reiterating a desire or aspiration.
I tried, but I'm sick of being the nice guy you chew up and spit me
Frustration with being treated poorly despite efforts to be kind.
Oh...
An expression of frustration or disappointment.
Is it too much to say you won't ever understand
Pondering whether understanding is too much to ask for.
Oh...
Believing that genuine care and concern will not be reciprocated.
The voice in my head says you won't ever care
Acknowledging the persistent negative voice in the singer's mind.
Goddamn I can't quiet it now
Struggling to silence intrusive thoughts or emotions.
And it screams out loud while I sit in silence
The inner turmoil becomes audible during moments of silence.
Oooo the voice in my head says you won't ever understand
Repeating the belief that understanding is unattainable.
Late nights
Describing a challenging period during the night.
Nothing to help me now
Expressing a lack of external support or solutions.
It's alright
Accepting and coping with the challenging situation.
It's always been around
Stating that the issue has always been present.
This feeling
Acknowledging a strong, visceral reaction to a situation.
My gut wants to throw it up
Expressing a desire to reject or expel a troubling emotion.
I'm reeling
Feeling overwhelmed and emotionally affected.
I'd rather not give a fuck
Choosing not to care or be emotionally invested.
It's not what it seems
Highlighting a discrepancy between appearance and reality.
I keep replaying these dreams
Replaying or dwelling on certain dreams or aspirations.
But I'm falling asleep with no pills to get me there
Struggling with insomnia or an inability to find solace.
This was never my scene
Expressing discomfort in a particular social or emotional setting.
Fuck up my lines and repeat
Making mistakes and repeating them, feeling stuck.
Down on my knees
Symbolizing a state of vulnerability or surrender.
Always living life up on the second tier
Living a life that feels secondary or less important.
