Somehow the World Keeps Turning
Navigating Inner Turmoil: Somehow the World Keeps Turning
Lyrics
When England took my mother's youngest son
Reflecting on the impact of England taking the narrator's youngest brother.
She demanded him back. She said
The mother's demand to return her son, expressing concern.
""Don't make me worry, son
A plea from the mother, advising her son not to run away during challenging times.
This isn't the time to run
Emphasizing that it's not the time to escape, but to face difficulties.
You're always thinking
Encouragement to think and analyze, but not to dwell endlessly.
Until the thinking's done.""
The realization that overthinking should have its limits.
Talking myself down gets so hard
Struggling with self-criticism and negative thoughts.
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car
Anxiety about the possibility of a tragic end.
I can't get out of my head
The difficulty of escaping one's thoughts and mental struggles.
Just like it's always been
Recognition that the mental state remains consistent over time.
He's in the mirror staring back at me
The narrator sees his own reflection in the mirror.
Smiling through his worn down teeth
The reflection appears to be weathered but still smiling.
I tell him, ""You make me sick
Expressing disgust towards the reflection and acknowledging falsehood.
And the bullshit is getting thick.""
Confrontation with internal struggles and increasing deception.
And sometimes the hardest part
Acknowledging that moving forward is often the most challenging part.
Is just getting on with it
Highlighting the difficulty of coping and continuing despite hardships.
Talking myself down gets so hard
Reiteration of the challenges in self-talk and self-criticism.
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car
Reaffirming the desire to avoid a tragic fate, particularly in a car.
I can't get out of my head
The ongoing struggle to escape the confines of one's own thoughts.
Just like it's always...
Emphasizing the persistence of the mental state over time.
Talking myself down gets so hard
Reiteration of the challenges in self-talk and self-criticism.
All I know is I don't wanna die in my car
Reaffirming the desire to avoid a tragic fate, particularly in a car.
The war inside my head keeps raging
Describing an internal conflict or struggle within the narrator's mind.
And somehow the world keeps turning
Despite internal turmoil, the external world continues to move forward.
Yeah somehow the world keeps turning
Acknowledging the persistence of the world's functioning despite personal struggles.
Yeah somehow the world keeps turning
Reiterating the idea that the world continues to turn despite personal challenges.
