Lyrics
My emotions control me
Emotions have a strong influence over my actions and thoughts.
On a leash like they own me
I feel controlled by my emotions, as if they dictate my behavior.
And I use my phone to distract
I use my phone as a way to divert my attention.
But now I'm attached to that
Now, I've become dependent or attached to using my phone in that way.
Oh when I walk down the street
When I'm out in public.
I wonder how many might feel the same as me
I ponder how many others might share similar feelings to mine.
Cause sometimes I have trouble not breaking down over
Sometimes, I struggle not to emotionally break down due to the pressure of meeting life's expectations.
What life expects of me
The societal demands and obligations that life imposes on me.
Yeah life expects of me
Life has certain expectations of me that I find challenging.
As I grow up
As I mature or age.
Yeah as I grow up
During the process of growing up.
I see all the different ways
I notice the various methods people employ to deal with life's challenges.
People choose to cope with life
Some individuals express their emotions outwardly, while others keep their feelings concealed.
Some project some hide inside
We're all just managing to get through life.
We're all just getting by
My phone serves as a way to dull or reduce my awareness of reality.
My phone numbs my mind
Because I become too conscious of the fact that I am actively experiencing life.
Cause I get too aware that I'm living life
The things (including the phone) that have a hold on me collectively.
Yeah the things that own me all combined
How I manage my anxiety regarding life's challenges.
Are how I cope with my anxiety about life
When I'm in public spaces.
Oh when I walk down the street
I contemplate how many others may share the same emotional struggles as me.
I wonder how many might feel the same as me
Sometimes, I find it challenging not to emotionally collapse under the pressure of meeting life's demands.
Cause sometimes I have trouble not breaking down over
What society or life expects from me.
What life expects of me
The obligations and anticipations life places on me, which can be burdensome.
Yeah life expects of me
As I mature or age.
As I grow up
During the process of growing up.
Yeah as I grow up
I notice the various methods people use to handle the challenges of life.
I see all the different ways
Some individuals express their emotions outwardly, while others keep their feelings concealed.
People choose to cope with life
We're all just managing to get through life.
Some project some hide inside
I'm uncertain whether my emotional experiences are shared by others.
We're all just getting by
Because my mind is preoccupied with thoughts and concerns.
Oh can't tell if I'm alone in how I feel
It's easy to forget that everyone is still learning and adapting to life's challenges.
Cause I'm so occupied in my mind
As I mature or age.
Forget that we're all figuring out the life
During the process of growing up.
As I grow up
I notice the various methods people employ to deal with life's challenges.
Yeah as I grow up
Some individuals express their emotions outwardly, while others keep their feelings concealed.
I see all the different ways
We're all just managing to get through life.
People choose to cope with life
I realize that people handle life's challenges differently.
Some project some hide inside
Some express their emotions openly, while others keep them hidden.
We're all just getting by
We're all simply doing our best to navigate life.
