Decompress
Young And Lost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just want to be alone and think about my future.
And when someone tries to talk to me, I feel agressed.
I think I just need to decompress.
I try to avoid contact with people to stay within myself
Trying to find my way back home.
There are those days that I don't wanna do anything
I prefer to stay at home then go and get drunk with my friends.
I feel agessed, I think I just need to decompress.
I'm anxious, too anxious about my future.
I'm anxious, too anxious about everything.
The lyrics to Young And Lost's song "Decompress" speak to the vulnerability and anxiety that many people feel at different points in their lives. The singer describes days when they simply want to be alone, to think about their future, and to avoid contact with others. The pressure to communicate and socialize feels like an assault, leading them to seek solace in solitude. The singer's preference for staying home and avoiding friends underscores their feelings of isolation and detachment from the people and the world around them.
The chorus reveals the root of the singer's anxiety: they are anxious about their future, and about everything in general. This kind of open-ended and generalized anxiety can be especially debilitating because it doesn't have a clear source or solution. The singer seems to recognize that they need to "decompress" in order to deal with these feelings, but it's unclear whether they can find the necessary time and space to truly do so.
Overall, "Decompress" is a poignant and relatable song about the challenges of dealing with anxiety and the need for space and solitude to cope with it.
