Tema[]
La canción refleja el tema sobre las luchas e incertidumbres internas. Melanie siente el peso de la presión y las dudas, lo que las deja vacilantes e indecisa. Ella está lidiando con la cuestión de su propósito y le resulta difícil funcionar correctamente debido a las abrumadoras preocupaciones que tiene. El coro destaca como estos sentimientos regresan persistentemente, lo que le dificulta a ella encuentrar claridad y tranquilidad.
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
Uh-oh, the pressure's taken over
My heart is heavy, palms are sweaty
And I'm hesitating in the corner
My lips don't move, procrastinating
If I could figure out where the doubt comes from
Maybe I could face it, ooh-ooh
[Pre-coro]
Tripping on my toes, can't help it
Limbs all numb from my mind, to help it
Don't know why I fell on the planet
It's dying and I'm dying with it
[Coro]
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
[Estrofa 2]
No-oh, how could I choose it?
I'm indecisive
Only right if I let faith take the fruit and juice it, oh-oh
I feel so weak when giving chances
It's always one way then another
And I'm sick of contradictions, oh-oh
[Pre-coro]
Tripping on my toes, can't help it
Limbs all numb from my mind, to help it
Don't know why I fell on the planet
It's dying and I'm dying with it
[Coro]
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
[Estrofa 1]
Uh-oh, the pressure's taken over
My heart is heavy, palms are sweaty
And I'm hesitating in the corner
My lips don't move, procrastinating
If I could figure out where the doubt comes from
Maybe I could face it, ooh-ooh
[Pre-coro]
Tripping on my toes, can't help it
Limbs all numb from my mind, to help it
Don't know why I fell on the planet
It's dying and I'm dying with it
[Coro]
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
[Estrofa 2]
No-oh, how could I choose it?
I'm indecisive
Only right if I let faith take the fruit and juice it, oh-oh
I feel so weak when giving chances
It's always one way then another
And I'm sick of contradictions, oh-oh
[Pre-coro]
Tripping on my toes, can't help it
Limbs all numb from my mind, to help it
Don't know why I fell on the planet
It's dying and I'm dying with it
[Coro]
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I left all my worries at bay
They came back to fuck with my brain
What is my purpose today?
I can't seem to function okay
