Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
The calendar pages blur into a single streak,
A thousand conversations, but I forget how to speak.
My reflection’s fractured in the monitor's bright hum,
Chasing algorithms 'til my fingertips go numb.
The world outside is vibrant, a watercolor bleed,
Planting plastic promises when I just need a seed.
I’m running on a treadmill, the scenery repeats,
A symphony of triumphs and silent defeats.
Pre-Chorus
Heart rate is spiking, synchronized to the bass,
A desperate euphoria I cannot erase.
Is this excitement or just paralyzing fear?
Smiling wide while trying to disappear!
Tell me the coordinates, tell me the key!
Chorus 1
'Cause I don't know!
Why the melody is sweet but the feeling’s so corrosive,
A beautiful display that is highly explosive.
I don't know!
How to find the pause when the tempo’s overloaded,
The happy little lie that I carefully coded.
Dancing on the tightrope, putting on a frantic show,
If you ask me how I feel, I really don't know! (Don't know!)
Verse 2
Ephemeral connections, dissolving into air,
We communicate in fragments, pretending that we care.
I’m fluent in the language of the superficial gaze,
Lost inside a labyrinth, a brightly colored maze.
The options are infinite, the choices are all void,
A happiness constructed just to be destroyed.
The compass spins in circles, nowhere left to turn,
Am I supposed to crash or am I meant to burn?
Pre-Chorus
Heart rate is spiking, synchronized to the drop,
Begging for the bottom, but praying for the top.
Is this connection or am I totally alone?
Laughing loud while sinking like a stone!
Tell me the meaning, tell me the code!
Chorus 2
But I don't know!
Why the harmony is bright but the structure is collapsing,
A frantic burst of energy while everything’s relapsing.
I don't know!
How to stop the spin when the world is overheating,
The joyful sounding rhythm that is constantly repeating.
Falling through the atmosphere, nowhere left to go,
If you ask me who I am, I really don't know! (Don't know!)
Bridge
If I stop moving, will the silence crush me?
If I stop smiling, will the sadness rush me?
I forgot the question...
I forgot the answer, too.
The only thing that’s real is this confusing shade of blue.
It’s too slow! Make it faster! I can’t think!
Chorus 3
And I don't know!
Why the melody is sweet but the feeling’s pure distortion,
A catastrophic failure of emotional proportion.
I still don't know!
How to find the end when the track is always looping,
The desperate little hope that I'm constantly regrouping.
Dancing on the edge until I finally let go,
If you ask me what comes next..
Outro
I really don't know.
(Know, know, know...)
Where did I go?
I don't know.
