Sensitivity
Alex Goot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't even show how I feel
I hit the floor
I'm talking rock bottom
My feelings I fought 'em
I can't believe it's come to this
Cause I need to a grip on reality
I'm here, I'm telling you I
Cleared my life
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I'm finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It's my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I'm living it up again
I've been doing fine in my misery
Not crazy
I told them not to worry about me
But everytime I wanna feel some sensitivity
I'm here, I'm telling you I
Cleared my life
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I'm finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It's my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I'm living it up again
Living it up again
Living it up again
Living it up now I'm not crazy I'm just sensitive
I stepped back from the edge
I cleared my life
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I'm finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It's my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I'm living it up again
Living it up again
I'm living it up again
Living it up now I'm not crazy I'm just sensitive
Living it up again
I'm living it up again
Living it up now I'm not crazy I'm just sensitive
The lyrics of Alex Goot’s “Sensitivity” speaks about the struggles of feeling like you have lost touch with your identity and emotions. The opening lines “I don't even know the real me anymore, I can't even show how I feel, I hit the floor, I'm talking rock bottom, my feelings I fought 'em” tells the story of a person who has reached a point of emotional numbness. The singer has tried to suppress their feelings so much that they now don't even understand their own emotions. However, it seems like the person has realized the need for change and is making an effort to get back on track. The line "cleared my life, I changed my head” portrays the idea of starting over fresh and renewed.
The chorus “Now I wanna feel some sensitivity, I'm here, I'm telling you I, Cleared my life, I changed my head, Trying to catch my skin again, I'm finding out what makes me wanna live, By living it up again” is a representation of the singer's realization of the need for human emotional connection. They want to feel alive again by tapping into their sensitivity and emotions. They further emphasize that they are trying to rediscover themselves through new experiences, which will help them find what drives their passion for life. The repetition of the words “Living it up again” shows that the person wants to start anew, living with a positive attitude towards life.
Overall, "Sensitivity" is a powerful song that emphasizes how important it is to be in touch with one's emotions and to experience human connection, reflecting on the importance of self-discovery and renewal.
