Tired
beabadoobee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it the sound of your own thoughts
That always keeps you up at night?
Maybe it's time to say goodbye
'Cause I'm getting pretty fucking tired
You haven't felt right for days
Is it the fact you never say
Maybe it's time to shut away
'Cause I've never really felt okay
'Cause I've been eating less all day
To give my brain some extra space to think
'Bout all the things to do to help
Distract me from the rude of heart
The lyrics in beabadoobee's "Tired" seem to be about the feeling of being emotionally drained and exhausted in a relationship. The song starts questioning a person who hasn't been good for a long time and wonders if their own thoughts and fear of voicing what is on their mind is what keeps them up at night. The second verse goes on to suggest that it may be time to end the relationship because the singer is getting tired of the situation. The chorus then expresses the feeling of being worn out and not feeling okay, and how the singer has been trying to distract themselves by eating less and keeping busy.
It seems like the person the singer is talking to is emotionally unavailable and that they haven't been communicating their thoughts or feelings, leaving the singer to feel drained and frustrated. The singer has reached a point where they don't feel okay and can't keep up with the relationship anymore. The line "eating less all day to give my brain some extra space to think" could suggest that the singer is struggling with anxiety or depression and is using methods like restricting food intake as a means to cope.
Overall, "Tired" appears to be a song about the emotional toll that a relationship can take when one person is not fully present and communicative. It highlights the importance of having honest and open communication in a relationship and the effects it can have on one's mental health when it's lacking.
