Prism
Nokturnl Lyrics

Where you goin', why you leavin'
Asking where the other person is going and why they are leaving.

I gotta get away, I got my reasons
The singer needs to get away because they have their own personal reasons.

I had to hide away and take my feelin's
The singer had to conceal their emotions by hiding away.

So when I die inside, you'll never see it
The artist doesn't want others to see their emotional pain.

And I'm havin' trouble with the things in my way
The artist is struggling with obstacles that are blocking their path.

Coz they seem to be bigger than just yesterday
The obstacles seem more daunting than they did the day before.

And my skin is so thick that I can't get out and no
The singer is emotionally closed off and cannot express their feelings.

Nobody cares what I'm talking about
The artist feels like no one is interested in what they have to say.

I don't want you to know

Because I'm the only one who needs to

I don;t care what you know

I only care about myself who needs you

Why should I feel or show

It's the only way that I can face the day
The singer copes with the day by avoiding feelings and emotions.

You should leave me alone
The singer wants the other person to leave them alone and let them handle their own issues.

And I'll deal with it in my own way
The artist prefers to handle their problems independently.

How am I doin', with my problems
The artist is evaluating how they are handling their personal challenges.

I'll pretend they're gone and it solves them
The singer pretends that their problems have disappeared to avoid confronting them.

I got a hundred more and it's growin'
The singer has many unresolved issues that continue to pile up.

I got a name for each one coz I know them
The artist has named each of their problems because they are familiar with them.

And I'm havin' trouble with the things that you say

Coz they seem to be stupider than yesterday
The artist feels that the other person's words and actions are becoming more foolish over time.

And on the inside I scream and I shout, 'No'
The singer is internally screaming in frustration and opposition to the other person's words and actions.

Nobody cares what I'm thinking about
The artist feels like no one is interested in their thoughts or opinions.
