Troubled
Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Live lies each semester
One week of your life
Make time to get by
Say thanks for whatever
Look great in a sweater
Hidden like ice on the side of the road
Slowly losing control
Guard rails rarely fail
But when life hits the bottom
Where will you stand
And who will you stand on
Let's run this back in time
In time again you'll find
The thing with troubled minds
Is you don't even notice
Go buy a different name
With never ending shame
Good as dead from the fame
Cause you can't even focus
Lets run this back in time
In time again you'll find
The thing with troubled minds
Is you don't even notice
Go buy a different name
With never ending shame
Good as dead from the fame
Cause you can't focus
Keeping your cards to your chest
Eyes locked on eyes to impress
Not even you in that dress
Is party themed goddess
Put the room through the test
A mental game to contest
Won't wait around
To find what goes down
On the side of the road
Is a vision of you
I won't wait around
To watch you break yourself
Let's run this back in time
In time again you'll find
The thing with troubled minds
Is you don't even notice
Go buy a different name
With never ending shame
Good as dead from the fame
Cause you can't even focus
Let's run this back in time
In time again you'll find
The thing with troubled minds
Is you don't even notice
Go buy a different name
With never ending shame
Good as dead from the fame
Cause you can't focus
Do you sleep at night
Have dreams of living another life
Deprived of time on the inside
Are you so contrite
Forgiveness is far from the fist fight
Miles and miles away
Do you sleep at night
Have dreams of living another life
Deprived of time on the inside
Are you so contrite
Forgiveness is far from the fist fight
Miles and miles away
Let's run this back in time
In time again you'll find
The thing with troubled minds
Is you don't even notice
Go buy a different name
With never ending shame
Good as dead from the fame
Cause you can't even focus
Let's run this back in time
In time again you'll find
The thing with troubled minds
Is you don't even notice
Go buy a different name
With never ending shame
Good as dead from the fame
Cause you can't focus
In "Troubled" by Me, the lyrics delve into themes of pressure, self-deception, and the consequences of fame. The lines "You even think under pressure, live lies each semester" highlight the immense strain that the singer is under. They are constantly trying to maintain a facade, pretending that everything is fine, even though they are grappling with internal turmoil. The urgency to "make time to get by" reflects their struggle to keep up appearances while feeling overwhelmed.
The lyrics also touch upon the issue of identity, as the singer contemplates buying a different name to escape from their troubled existence. However, this change would come with a heavy burden of shame and a feeling of being as good as dead from the fame they have acquired. They are unable to focus and are haunted by their troubled mind, yet they fail to even notice the extent of their own turmoil.
The chorus repeats the idea of running back in time, suggesting a desire to revisit past choices or circumstances. Despite this desire, the troubled mind prevents any progress or growth. The references to sleep and dreams allude to the restlessness and inability to find peace within oneself. The line "forgiveness is far from the fist fight" indicates the unresolved conflicts that weigh heavily on their conscience.
In summary, "Troubled" explores the struggle of maintaining appearances under pressure, the consequences of fame and shame, the desire to escape, and the internal battles faced by someone with a troubled mind.
Line by Line Meaning
You even think under pressure
Even in times of stress, your thoughts are clouded
Live lies each semester
You constantly deceive yourself and others with false realities
One week of your life
A mere fraction of your existence
Make time to get by
Put effort into surviving instead of thriving
Say thanks for whatever
Show gratitude for whatever scraps life throws your way
Look great in a sweater
Appear fashionable and put-together on the surface
Hidden like ice on the side of the road
Concealed and unnoticed, just like a dangerous obstacle
Slowly losing control
Gradually losing grasp of your own life
Slowly spinning controls
Struggling to navigate the challenges that come your way
Guard rails rarely fail
Safety measures usually hold up
But when life hits the bottom
During times of extreme hardship
Where will you stand
What foundation or support will you have
And who will you stand on
Who will you rely on or exploit for personal gain
Let's run this back in time
Let's revisit and reflect on the past
In time again you'll find
Repeatedly, you'll discover
The thing with troubled minds
The characteristic of troubled individuals
Is you don't even notice
You are unaware of your own turmoil
Go buy a different name
Seek a new identity to escape your reality
With never ending shame
Forever burdened by guilt and embarrassment
Good as dead from the fame
The consequences of fame have left you feeling lifeless
Cause you can't even focus
Your inability to concentrate has led to your downfall
Keeping your cards to your chest
Keeping your true intentions hidden and guarded
Eyes locked on eyes to impress
Seeking validation through captivating others' attention
Not even you in that dress
Even your outward appearance fails to bring fulfillment
Is party themed goddess
A superficial image with no substance
Put the room through the test
Evaluate the extent to which you can manipulate your surroundings
A mental game to contest
Engaging in psychological battles and competitions
Won't wait around
Not willing to be patient or idle
To find what goes down
To discover the truth or underlying chaos
On the side of the road
At the periphery of your life
Is a vision of you
There is a glimpse of your true self
I won't wait around
I am not patient enough
To watch you break yourself
Witnessing your self-destruction is too painful
Do you sleep at night
Are you able to find solace in sleep
Have dreams of living another life
Desire to escape your current reality through dreams
Deprived of time on the inside
Lacking fulfillment or satisfaction internally
Are you so contrite
Do you feel remorseful for your actions
Forgiveness is far from the fist fight
Reconciliation seems impossible, given the ongoing conflict
Miles and miles away
Distant, both physically and emotionally
