Lyrics
I'm a scatter brain I'm a mess
I'm feeling scattered and disorganized, like a mess
I'm a loose cannon I'm a wreck
I'm unpredictable and in a state of ruin
Sat on the floor I lost the war
I've suffered a defeat and feel defeated, sitting on the floor
These pills just make me upset
Medication I'm taking isn't helping; it's making me upset
The doctor's irrelevant for glassy eyes
The doctor's advice seems irrelevant as my eyes are distant and I fake smiles
And lonely smiles
I wear smiles that conceal my loneliness
You spun a web and caught me out
You've trapped me with deceit or manipulation
I'll rot and die here no doubt
I feel like I'll decay and perish in this situation
And she said tell me
Someone questions me about my problems directly
What's the fucking problem no exaggerations
They demand an honest, unembellished explanation
Take a break wind your neck in
Advice to calm down and control myself
Step back ease off the medication
Step back from excessive medication or reliance on it
It's hard to get out of bed
I struggle to find the motivation to get out of bed
The will to live escaped my head
I've lost the desire to live
Lost my direction did I fall for deception
I feel misled and unsure of my path
Could I sit an dwell on texts unread
Reflecting on unread messages and dwelling on them
I made the wrong decision
I've made a wrong choice
Lost all my inner vision
I've lost sight of my goals and aspirations
And she said tell me
Reiteration of being directly asked about problems
What's the fucking problem no exaggerations
Emphasis on needing an honest explanation of issues
Take a break wind your neck in
Advice to take a break and regain composure
Step back ease off the medication
Reduce reliance on medication for coping
You'll find me swinging from the rafters
Feeling so overwhelmed that the extreme outcome seems likely (suicidal imagery)
Happy ever after
Sarcastically implying happiness in a dire situation
Don't shut me down
Pleading not to be ignored or dismissed
Can't throw stones ‘cause I live
Can't be criticized because I'm vulnerable too
In a glass house just hear me out
Admitting fragility and asking for understanding
I'll be everything you wanted me to be now
Promising to conform to expectations to please
And she said tell me
Repetition of the direct demand for an unexaggerated explanation
What's the fucking problem no exaggerations
Emphasizing the need for honesty without embellishments
Take a break wind your neck in
Repeated advice to take a break and regain control
Step back ease off the medication
Reducing reliance on medication for coping
You'll find me swinging from the rafters
Reiteration of feeling pushed to extreme despair (suicidal imagery)
Happy ever after
Sarcastic reference to a 'happy ending' despite the distressing situation
