Dark Circles
Maika Maile Lyrics

Dark circles 'round my eyelids
My eyes are surrounded by dark circles, indicating the lack of sleep and fatigue.

I can barely pull them apart
My tiredness is so extreme that it's difficult for me to open my eyes fully.

It's ringing like a siren
My head and thoughts are in a state of chaos and distress, like the sirens of an emergency vehicle.

I got a freight train for a heart
My heart is heavy and burdened, like a freight train, perhaps due to the emotional pain and turmoil I am experiencing.

I forgot how to remember
I am struggling to recall things from my memory due to the severe exhaustion affecting my brain function.

And I don't know where to start
I am overwhelmed and unsure about where to begin to fix or improve the situation I'm in.

I'm a step from being blasted
I am at the brink of losing control or experiencing a breakdown.

And a step away from being bored
At the same time, I am feeling apathetic and uninterested in things that I normally enjoy.

When they stick around ashes
When certain things or people leave my life, it feels like everything crumbles and burns to ashes.

Cloud up like a thunderstorm
My emotions become intense and turbulent like a thunderstorm, clouding my vision and judgment.

You told me never say never
You warned me to not dismiss any possibility of us being together in the future.

But now I don't know where you are
However, I am currently unsure of your whereabouts and whether this chance of us being together still exists.

No sleep I'm thinking of you
I am not able to sleep and my thoughts are preoccupied with you.

And me, together
I am yearning for the possibility of a romantic relationship with you.

These Dark Circles Won't leave
The lack of sleep and resulting dark circles are persistent and unrelenting.

They're with me eternally, forever (forever)
The fatigue and its physical manifestation of dark circles have become a permanent part of my life and will not go away any time soon.

Vision got a little hazy
My ability to see clearly and make rational decisions has become impaired due to the physical and emotional exhaustion.

All the hours passed in slow-mo
Time appears to pass slowly and painfully due to the sleep deprivation and overwhelming emotional state.

I get the feeling that I lost control
I feel as if I am not in charge of my own life and that things are happening beyond my control.

With all my cheap thrills on the load
I am attempting to cope with the situation by indulging in activities that provide cheap, temporary entertainment or pleasure.

And I'm drowning in this sopor
I feel as if I am sinking into a state of prolonged sleepiness and exhaustion from which it is difficult to escape.

I try to clean the slate
I attempt to start fresh and forget about what has been troubling me in the past.

But my chest caves in
My heart sinks or feels heavy, perhaps due to a sense of loss or longing.

And skips a beat
My heart seems to skip a beat or pound heavily, perhaps due to anxiety or excitement.

At the sound of your name
When I hear your name, the emotional and physical reactions intensify, indicating the significant impact you have on me.

Goddamn these dark circles
The dark circles are a source of frustration and distress, and I am cursing them in desperation.

And me, together, forever.
The desire to be with you is so strong that it trumps all the negative effects and emotions of my current situation.
