Trauma
Mr.kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorry I keep flinching
But I'm really not used to this
It's all new and
Old habits die hard I guess
This is usually the part where
Someone tells me
They don't want me around
Leave it to you to break the pattern
Make me feel like my feelings matter
It's gonna hurt but not as much as the feeling that
Time is running out

Wake another day and put the past behind you
Tell me to forget it but I'm not inclined to
Pray nobody ever has to feel like I do

But at least we didn't ever leave the truth unspoken
Petty consolation, leave the future open
What's it gonna take for me to not be broken

Sorry that I'm like this
I'm just waiting for the trauma response to hit
Didn't mean to make this your problem
You didn't sign up for the things it comes with

Sorry that I'm like this
The least I can do is stay silent




Fade into the background
'Til you decide if you want me around

Line by Line Meaning

Sorry I keep flinching
Apologizing for my instinctive reactions due to past traumas


But I'm really not used to this
My lack of familiarity makes it difficult to handle


It's all new and
Everything feels unfamiliar


Old habits die hard I guess
Long-standing behaviors are difficult to change


This is usually the part where
In the past, it's when


Someone tells me
Another person informs me


They don't want me around
They don't desire my presence


Leave it to you to break the pattern
You're the one who disrupts the usual cycle


Make me feel like my feelings matter
You prioritize and acknowledge my emotions


It's gonna hurt but not as much as the feeling that
The pain won't compare to the sentiment that


Time is running out
There's a sense of urgency or limited time


Wake another day and put the past behind you
Start a new day and leave the prior experiences behind


Tell me to forget it but I'm not inclined to
Encourage me to move on, but I'm not inclined to do so


Pray nobody ever has to feel like I do
Hope nobody experiences the same feelings as I do


But at least we didn't ever leave the truth unspoken
At least we always spoke honestly to each other


Petty consolation, leave the future open
Small comfort, but the future remains uncertain


What's it gonna take for me to not be broken
What needs to happen for me to heal or be whole again


Sorry that I'm like this
Apologizing for my current state


I'm just waiting for the trauma response to hit
I anticipate the triggering reaction caused by past trauma


Didn't mean to make this your problem
I didn't intend to burden you with my issues


You didn't sign up for the things it comes with
You didn't agree to handle the consequences that accompany it


The least I can do is stay silent
The most I can do is remain quiet


Fade into the background
Disappear or become less noticeable


'Til you decide if you want me around
'Until you determine whether or not you desire my presence

Well I'm not used to talking about my life but now I feel I cannot stop
I saw a man and I thought he had my face I heard a preacher and I thought he had my voice
Up on a train since the moment I opened my eyes sometimes I'm sure I've seen this place again but deep in my Heart there's some courage and some hope and certainty that these rails will never end
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Well here I stand in the center of the scene with all the lights pointing right in my head
But in the dark there's a man that can't be seen holding a gun with all the power of his hand


The show is over and the applause pricks my ear the hall is empty and the man is getting bigger
He closes his eyes but serenity is gone he laughs at me and at once he pulls the trigger
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Now as I lay dead upon the floor I know my name will never be forgotten
I see that train getting lost inside the smoke and my body being fresh instead of rotten
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore
