The Situation
St. John's Eve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lying to myself
And saying that I'm okay
It not like me to think
That I'm not human today
Its hard to speak about it
What would I be without it

Hiding all my feelings
When I'm with all my friends
Feel like I could cry
Because I want it to end
It's hard to speak about it
What would I be without it

Tomorrow won't come
Unless you sort out your head
And if you think life is easy
Then you've been mislead
You need to reassess
The situation, the situation
Fighting these demons
Alone and depressed
There's no happy endings
If you don't get the help
You need to reassess
The situation, the situation

Knowing that I'm lonely
And I'm trying my best
To change my life
And make sure
That I'm strong like the rest
It's hard to speak about it
What would I be without it

Wishing I was someone
Who is helpless and free
From all the pain and trauma
That is built up in me
It's hard to speak about it
What would I be without it

Tomorrow won't come unless
You sort out your head
And if you think life is easy
Then you've been mislead
You need to reassess
The situation, the situation
Fighting these demons
Alone and depressed
There's no happy endings
If you don't get the help
You need to reassess
The situation, the situation

It's my life - but I can't breathe
It's my life - do I belong here?

Tomorrow won't come
Unless you sort out your head
And if you think life is easy
Then you've been mislead
You need to reassess
The situation, the situation
Fighting these demons alone
And depressed
There's no happy endings
If you don't get the help
You need to reassess
The situation, the situation
