Trapped Nerve
Boston Manor Lyrics

Wide awake, from the pain in your neck.
You are painfully aware of your surroundings and the source of your discomfort, stemming from your neck.

Keep your eyes on the road & Forget what they say.
Focus on what's ahead and don't let the opinions of others distract you.

I hope the voices in your head only whisper today.
Wishing for a moment of tranquility, free from overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

But I know they scream instead.
Despite the hope, the reality is that the voices are louder and harder to ignore.

I hope the fire in your belly doesn't smoke out your brain.
Hoping that passion and drive don't become overwhelming and cloud one's judgment.

We'll play hide & seek with the world on the other team.
Taking on the world's challenges as adversaries and seeking to overcome them.

Sleep for the rest of my days.
Longing for an eternal slumber, as if to escape the world's stressors.

& I'd just wish the world away.
Desiring to make the world disappear, in order to find peace and solace.

So chew me up & spit me out.
Allowing oneself to be subjected to stress and difficulty, even to the point of becoming damaged.

I'll hit the bed before I drown.
Seeking respite from life's troubles by sleeping, so as not to become overwhelmed.

Restless nights, alone again.
Feeling restless, possibly due to anxiety or insomnia, and experiencing a sense of isolation.

That stabbing pain in your head.
Physical pain in one's head, which could be a manifestation of stress or anxiety.

You'd rather be home. You'd rather be home again. You'd rather be home. With Trapped Nerves in your neck.
Expressing a desire to be in a familiar, comfortable environment, despite the physical pain being experienced.

Cause you're the air in my lungs. & I'm the tear on your cheek.
Acknowledging an emotional connection between two people, with one being the source of life for the other.

So i'll turn off my alarm so we can sleep.
Stopping the alarm clock, to allow time to rest and be with someone near.

Cause I wish you felt better. (Cause you are better) You are better than me.
Expressing a desire for someone to feel better and affirming that they are valued and appreciated.

On & on we're only getting deeper. Too deep for you to see.
Continuing to experience deep emotions and connections, not always visible or understood by others.
