Lyrics
How are you
Expressing a greeting, asking about well-being.
Doing fine
Responding positively to the inquiry.
Doing my best not to lose my mind
Struggling to maintain mental stability.
Keeping away is keeping me fried
Isolation is causing emotional distress.
'Nother bowl, maybe two
Indulging in substance use, possibly to cope.
Getting high is all there is to do
Escaping reality through getting high.
I'm sure it's the same for you
Assuming others share similar struggles.
We're trying our best to stay in touch
Attempting to maintain connection despite challenges.
You say you're doing well
Receiving a positive response about well-being.
But what are we to do for three months
Acknowledging a prolonged separation.
With ourselves
Questioning how to fill the time apart.
Six feet is too much
Feeling distant due to social distancing measures.
I need to feel your touch like
Craving physical closeness.
A moth to a flame, am I to blame
Expressing uncertainty and self-blame.
But we can't
Despite desires, physical presence is impossible.
You're not here
Highlighting the absence of the other person.
And I'm not there
Emphasizing the physical distance.
Destination nowhere
Describing the current state as aimless.
Nowhere
Reiterating the sense of being in a directionless situation.
Do you think of me
Pondering if one is on the mind of the other.
When you're alone
Questioning the impact of the separation on thoughts.
Are my pictures saved to your phone
Wondering if memories are cherished.
Do I live in your headphones
Exploring the idea of being present in the other's thoughts.
We're trying our best to stay in touch
Continuing efforts to maintain communication.
You say that you're not fine
Revealing emotional struggles despite initial positivity.
You say I'm doing my best, but darling to you I wont lie
Admitting to difficulties in coping.
Six feet is too much
Reiteration of the challenge posed by physical distance.
I need to feel your touch like
Expressing the deep need for physical closeness.
A moth to a flame, am I to blame
Questioning self-blame in desiring closeness.
But we can't
Despite desires, physical presence is impossible.
You're not here
Emphasizing the absence of the other person.
And I'm not there
Highlighting the physical distance.
Destination nowhere
Describing the current state as aimless.
Nowhere
Reiterating the sense of being in a directionless situation.
Six feet is too much
Reiteration of the challenge posed by physical distance.
I need to feel your touch like
Expressing the deep need for physical closeness.
A moth to a flame, am I to blame
Questioning self-blame in desiring closeness.
But we can't
Despite desires, physical presence is impossible.
You're not here
Emphasizing the absence of the other person.
And I'm not there
Highlighting the physical distance.
Destination nowhere
Describing the current state as aimless.
Nowhere
Reiterating the sense of being in a directionless situation.
