Overrated
LANDMVRKS Lyrics

Time to watch it burn
The singer is ready to watch everything they know burn to the ground.

There's something wrong in me, ain't got another chance
The singer is dealing with inner turmoil and feels like they are running out of options.

I never wanted this
The singer never wanted to feel this pain or experience this loss.

I'm screaming on the inside, about to suffocate
The artist is not literally screaming, but feels desperate and trapped.

The smoke is getting thick
The metaphorical smoke of hopelessness and despair is becoming increasingly overwhelming.

I don't know why I wasted so much time
The singer is filled with regret and doesn't know why they spent so long doing what they did.

This life is overrated, I try to find my way back to (You)
The singer feels like life is not as fulfilling as it should be and seeks some kind of guidance or meaning.

You make things complicated
Whoever the artist is addressing adds a layer of complexity to their life that they struggle to navigate.

So lost and isolated, I found you trembling in my room
The artist feels alone and disconnected from everyone, but they have found someone who is also struggling and turned to them for support.

Is this so hard to make it through?
The artist is wondering why life has to be such a difficult struggle.

Trying to find a way, the fire is getting higher
The singer is trying to escape a dangerous or painful situation, which is becoming more and more intense.

I'm starting to run out of air and my tongue is bitter
The artist is struggling to breathe and is filled with negative emotions.

It will not be my grave, I've got another feeling
The singer is determined not to let this situation be the end for them, and has some hope for the future.

I can see shadows on the walls, everything is fading
The singer is losing their grip on reality and everything around them is becoming hazy and unclear.

It'll no longer be the place we used to know, and the man I used to be
Everything is changing so drastically that the singer knows that they will no longer be the same as they were before.

This place is trying to drag me down
The place where the artist is feels oppressive and like it's contributing to their pain.

'Cause everything has to change, but stories stay the same
Although everything is constantly changing, the fundamental tales we tell remain the same.

Spray it all with kerosene, up in smoke, I can feel my body smothering
The singer is ready to destroy everything, even if it means being consumed by the flames themselves.

I don't feel the pain at all, no, the fire won't drag me down
The singer is so numb to their situation that they don't even feel the burning pain of the fire.

This life is overrated
The artist doesn't think that life is as valuable or worthwhile as others might.

I see the flames and my tongue is bitter
The fire is so close that the artist can see it and taste the smoke in their mouth.

It's no longer the place we used to know
Things have changed so much that the artist can no longer recognize or appreciate their surroundings.

I try to find my way back to
The singer is desperate to return to a time or place where things made more sense to them.
