Lyrics

Pull over, am I dying

Possible existential crisis or extreme anxiety, questioning mortality.

I can't feel my arms while driving

Loss of sensation, potentially due to overwhelming stress while driving.

I'm feeling short of breath and life's standing on my chest

Feeling suffocated, overwhelmed by life's challenges and difficulties.

My vision's getting blurry

Perceptual distortion, possibly reflecting a mental or emotional struggle.

Thoughts racing, words are slurring

Mental chaos, inability to articulate thoughts clearly.

I've got to take my time to beg for life or pray that this takes mine

Contemplating the value of life, expressing a desperate need for intervention.

I just need medication

Seeking relief through medication, possibly addressing mental health issues.


Somebody please fix my head, 'cause I have spent too long building this up

Request for help, acknowledging the negative consequences of self-built constructs.

And I'm seeing all I ever wanted fade away, and you say I'm the one to blame

Regret and loss, feeling blamed for the deterioration of aspirations.


When you arrived, you filled the holes inside

Positive influence initially filling emotional voids.

I was content, but the asphalt never dried

Temporary satisfaction, but underlying issues resurface.

It sank back in and left a mess instead

Regret and mess left behind after failed attempts to fix the situation.

Is this worth cleaning? 'Cause I'm left grieving over everything you've said

Weighing the worth of addressing the aftermath and grieving.


Somebody please fix my head, 'cause I have spent too long building this up

Reiteration of the plea for help, recognizing the self-built struggles.

And I'm seeing all I ever wanted fade away, and you say I'm the one to blame

Continuation of regret and self-blame for fading aspirations.


I can't afford to live with all the lies I tell myself inside

Confronting self-deception and acknowledging the impact of lies.

Who am I? I swear to god, I'm stronger than my mind

Asserting personal strength and determination against inner struggles.

I won't die

Declaration of resilience and refusal to succumb to inner turmoil.

I feel dead inside, but I'm still alive

Paradoxical feeling of inner death while physically alive.


Somebody please fix my head, 'cause I have spent too long building this up

Repetition of the plea, underscoring the urgency and prolonged struggle.

And I'm seeing all I ever wanted fade away, and you say

Continued despair and self-blame for fading aspirations.

Somebody please fix my head, 'cause I have spent too long building this up

Repetition of the plea, emphasizing the enduring nature of the struggle.
