Intro
R-Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One dream
I gave it everything I had
But it wasn't enough
Had to come clean
Escape Dean
I left everything I knew to get my life together
Who gives a fuck
I'm alone in my thoughts
All alone in my dreams
I don't mind the solitude but livin' life alone
It ain't what it seems
My surrounding's a facade
My reality is shot
Always sneaking up behind me
I can't learn to give it up
Maybe it's the paranoia
Maybe I can't fall in love
I've been wasting nights awake
My eyes are open when I rest
They don't feel the rainy days
They're not stuck inside my head
20 years from now I'm lighting up a fire in my mansion
'Cause money can't buy no smile
I'd like to keep you around for awhile
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I don't know what I need
I'm walking through the fog
Yeah
We can't be you and me
When we're out together
Ooo so down I fall
I'm alone in my thoughts
All alone in my dreams
I don't mind the solitude but livin' life alone
It ain't what it seems
My surrounding's a facade
My reality is shot
Always sneaking up behind me
I can't learn to give it up
Maybe it's the paranoia
Maybe I can't fall in love
I've been wasting nights awake
My eyes are open when I rest
They don't feel the rainy days
They're not stuck inside my head
They're not stuck inside my head
They're not stuck inside my head
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Yeah, they're not stuck inside my head
The fuck you want?
Inside the fog
Inside the fog
Inside the fog
Yeah
The lyrics of R-Swift's song Intro describe the struggles of someone who gave their all to pursue a dream but ultimately had to face the reality that it was not enough. The opening lines of the song show how the singer had one dream and gave it everything they had but still fell short. They had to confess their shortcomings and leave their previous life behind to try and make things right.
The song then delves into the lonliness and isolation that the singer feels. They are "alone in their thoughts" and "alone in their dreams," and the solitude isn't necessarily an issue, but "living life alone, it ain't what it seems." The singer feels like their surroundings are a facade, and their reality is not what they thought it would be. They struggle with paranoia and fear that they can't fall in love.
The final lines of the song are a bit more hopeful. The singer speaks of their dreams of the future, and how they hope they can keep someone around for a while. They acknowledge that money can't buy happiness, and they long for genuine connection and companionship. The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note, with the singer questioning what they want and navigating through the fog of their emotions and desires.

Inside the fog
I am lost or unclear about things in my life
