I'm sorry
Animal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up as someone I don't want to be
And every night when I try to sleep
I think what the fuck is wrong with me?
I′m so sorry that I let you down
I know it hurts
I'm the worst fucking person to step foot on this Earth
I wish I could talk to you, or at least find the words
No matter what I do, I′m digging my own dirt
Until I reach six feet deep
I need to die so I can finally breathe
And even then I won′t rest in peace
Cause this rain stretches further than the eye can see
So here I wait
Never getting out of this place
I hope you're happy
Better off without me
Over and over, again and again it′s the same fucking thoughts playing inside my head
Over and over, again and again it's the same fucking thoughts I just wish I was dead
I′m just a lost cause that lost touch of who I once was
Fuck
With too much on my plate
Take a bite so you can see how bad depression tastes
Every morning it's the same routine
Wake up as someone I don′t want to be
And every night when I try to sleep
I think what the fuck is wrong with me?
I need to die so I can finally breathe
And even then I won't rest in peace
Until I reach six feet deep
The song "I'm Sorry" by Animal is a deeply personal and emotional track that delves into the struggles of mental health and self-loathing. The opening lyrics reflect the routine of waking up and going through the motions of life while feeling like an undeserving and inadequate person. The self-doubt and negative self-talk lead to a desire to end the pain and escape through death.
The chorus expresses the pain of recognizing the hurt caused to others and the feeling of being a burden to those around them. The singer wishes to make amends but feels incapable of finding the words or changing their behavior. The feelings of guilt and self-hatred continue to spiral, leading to a hopeless longing for release from the emotional burden.
The lyrics are a powerful expression of the inner turmoil that comes with battling depression and anxiety. They offer a glimpse into the mind of someone struggling with these issues, and they highlight the importance of understanding and support for those who may be going through similar struggles.
