Lyrics
Thinking back to all the things I should've said
Reflecting on missed opportunities to express thoughts or feelings
When you were here, when you and I were friends
Nostalgia for a past friendship that has changed or faded
And now, stuck here, I just have to pretend
Feeling stuck and having to pretend due to the absence of a supportive friend
If you were here, you'd help me out again
Wishing for the presence of the friend to help in a difficult situation
But I forgot you did no wrong
Acknowledging that the friend did nothing wrong
Bottled my feelings for so long
Suppressing emotions for an extended period
'Cause I've been sleepin' on a couch for the entire year
Describing a prolonged period of discomfort, possibly emotional or physical
And I've been waiting on my friends to all disappear
Anticipating the departure of friends, leading to loneliness
And I'm feeling kinda rough
Expressing a general feeling of being unwell or distressed
And I'm feelin kinda rough as fuck (As fuck)
Emphasizing the severity of feeling rough
Sitting on my hands, I worry how I seem
Contemplating how one's actions may be perceived by others
To you, do I seem stuck inside a dream?
Questioning if the speaker appears trapped in a surreal or unattainable reality
Inside a broken, hallowed-out machine
Feeling like a broken and empty version of oneself
I want to be something you'd pay to see
Desiring to be something valuable or entertaining to others
But till then I'll stay at home
Choosing isolation over social interaction
I will never pick up the phone
Avoiding communication and staying withdrawn
'Cause I've been sleepin' on a couch for the entire year
Reiterating the extended period of discomfort and lack of resolution
And I've been waiting on my friends to all disappear
Expecting friends to abandon the speaker
And I'm feeling kinda rough
Repeating the feeling of being unwell or distressed
And I'm feelin kinda rough as fuck (As fuck)
Reemphasizing the severity of feeling rough
Oh, this mercury retrograde has got me down
Attributing negative emotions to astrological events (mercury retrograde)
And these headaches make the world feel like it's upside down
Describing physical discomfort intensifying the sense of disorientation
And I'm feelin kinda rough
Reiterating the feeling of being unwell or distressed
Feelin' kinda rough as fuck (As fuck)
Reemphasizing the severity of feeling rough
'Cause I've been sleepin' on a couch for the entire year
Recalling the extended period of discomfort and lack of resolution
And I've been waiting on my friends to all disappear
Anticipating the departure of friends, leading to loneliness (repeated theme)
And I'm feeling kinda rough
Repeating the feeling of being unwell or distressed
And I'm feelin kinda rough as fuck (As fuck)
Reemphasizing the severity of feeling rough
Oh, this mercury retrograde has got me down
Attributing negative emotions to astrological events (mercury retrograde)
And these headaches make the world feel like it's upside down
Describing physical discomfort intensifying the sense of disorientation
And I'm feelin kinda rough
Reiterating the feeling of being unwell or distressed
Feelin' kinda rough as fuck (As fuck)
Reemphasizing the severity of feeling rough (repeated theme)
