Lyrics

Playing Tetris with my feelings

Engaging with my emotions like playing a challenging game (Tetris).

Tryna keep them all inside

Attempting to keep my emotions hidden or contained.

Hollow shadows and my soul is spilling over

Feeling empty and overwhelmed, emotions pouring out of my soul.

I'm out of time, mm-mmh

Running out of time or feeling a sense of urgency.

Closing every door, wanna be alone

Closing off connections with others, seeking solitude.

Lonely is a way that I survive

Surviving by embracing loneliness as a coping mechanism.

Sick of wanting more, sitting on the floor

Tired of desiring more, sitting alone and pondering.

Wondering where all my feelings go

Questioning the disappearance of my emotions.


Nervous system's aching

Experiencing physical and emotional pain in the nervous system.

Growing up is getting old

Expressing the challenging nature of growing up.

Anxiety is draining

Anxiety is exhausting and depleting.

Getting up is growing old

Getting out of bed and facing the challenges is a form of maturity.


Don't get it

Expressing confusion or lack of understanding.

There's an ocean of emotion that I'm carrying inside

Burdened by a deep reservoir of emotions within.

I am cautious

Being cautious due to the overwhelming emotions.

'Cause I've never understood how so much can fit in little me

Reflecting on the paradox of containing so much within oneself.

Star-crossed soul

Having a fate marked by challenges and difficulties.

And I'm used to letting go

Accustomed to releasing attachments and moving with the flow of life.

Sink deeper in the flow of it

Sinking deeper into the experience of life.

My demons know exactly where my fears

Acknowledging personal struggles and fears.

Are hiding all my tears

Demons are aware of where my fears are hidden, causing tears.


I'm torn by nervous system's aching

Torn apart by the pain in the nervous system.

Growing up is getting old

Reiterating the challenges of growing up.

Anxiety is draining

Continuing to highlight the draining nature of anxiety.

Getting up is growing old

Emphasizing that facing challenges is a part of maturing.


And if I ever take that second to leave my worries behind

Taking a moment to leave worries behind and explore the passage of time.

Maybe I could tread the waters of time

Expressing the possibility of navigating life's challenges.

Get out of my mind

Escaping the mental burden and overthinking.


(And growing up is getting old)

Reiterating the theme that growing up is challenging.

Growing up is getting old

Continuing to emphasize the difficulties of the aging process.

(And getting up is growing old)

Highlighting that facing challenges is a part of growing up.

Getting up is growing old

Stating that getting up and facing challenges is a form of maturity.


If your world is breaking

If your world is falling apart due to challenges.

And growing up is getting old

Reiterating the theme that growing up is challenging.

Know that you're worth saving

Acknowledging self-worth and the value of facing challenges.

And getting up is all you've got

Stating that facing challenges is all you have.
