everything at once
mothica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hate when you ask how I’m doing
I know that you’re just assuming
I’m better now, not bleeding out

Get outa bed on a good day
Lately that’s all I can do, hey
I go through hell, to hide myself
I think about new ways to hurt me
But don’t want my mother to see
It’s not that I feel undeserving
Just blame it on the chemistry

That’s why

I can’t cry
Im too anxious
Restless mind
I can’t shake this
Said I’m fine
but we both know I’m faking
I’m not feeling numb,
I’m just feeling everything at once

Whatever I do I can’t slow down
Please don’t leave me alone now
Cuz when I stop, my demons talk

I’m coming off apathetic
I play it off like it’s an aesthetic
Clearly I care too much, but I’m fooling everyone

I think about new ways to hurt me
But don’t want my mother to see
It’s not that I feel undeserving
Just blame it on the chemistry

That’s why

I can’t cry
Im too anxious
Restless mind
I can’t shake this
Said I’m fine
but we both know I’m faking




I’m not feeling numb,
I’m just feeling everything at once

Overall Meaning

In Mothica's song "Everything at Once," the lyrics explore the struggles of dealing with overwhelming emotions and the pressure to put on a mask of happiness and strength. The singer expresses a frustration with being asked how they're doing because they know it's merely an assumption and they feel the need to pretend they are better and not "bleeding out."


The song portrays a daily struggle to get out of bed and the constant battle to hide their true emotions. The lyrics hint at a self-destructive tendency, as they think about new ways to hurt themselves but don't want their mother to witness it. The singer explains that it's not about feeling undeserving, but rather blames their emotional state on "chemistry," suggesting a reference to mental health issues.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the internal conflict and emotional turbulence the singer experiences. They feel too anxious to cry and have a restless mind that they can't shake. They acknowledge that they are faking being fine, but deep down they are not numb; in fact, they feel everything intensely all at once.


In the second verse, the singer highlights their inclination to play off their apathy as an aesthetic, fooling everyone around them into thinking they don't care too much. This reveals the struggle of internalizing their emotions while trying to maintain a facade of detachment. Again, they mention thinking about new ways to hurt themselves but not wanting their mother to witness it.


Overall, "Everything at Once" delves into the complex emotions and challenges of dealing with mental health issues. It highlights the pressure to conceal true feelings, the daily battle to function, and the overwhelming experience of feeling everything intensely.

Lyrics
I can't cry, I'm too anxious
Restless mind, I can't shake this
Said I'm fine, but we both know I'm fakin'
I'm not feeling numb
I'm just feeling everything at once
Hate when you ask how I'm doin'
I know that you're just assumin'
I'm better now, not bleeding out
Get outta bed on a good day
Lately that's all I can do, hey
I go through hell to hide myself
I think about new ways to hurt me
But don't want my mother to see
It's not that I feel undeserving
Just blame it on the chemistry
That's why
I can't cry, I'm too anxious
Restless mind, I can't shake this
Said I'm fine, but we both know I'm fakin'
I'm not feeling numb
I'm just feeling everything at once
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm just feeling everything at once
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm just feeling everything
Whatever I do, I can't slow down
Please, don't leave me alone now
'Cause when I stop, my demons talk
I'm comin' off apathetic
I play it off like it's anesthetic
Clearly I care too much, but I'm foolin' everyone
Oh, I think about new ways to hurt me
But don't want my mother to see
It's not that I feel undeserving
Just blame it on the chemistry
That's why
I can't cry, I'm too anxious
Restless mind, I can't shake this
Said I'm fine, but we both know I'm faking
I'm not feeling numb
I'm just feeling everything at once (Once)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm just feeling everything at once
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm just feeling everything at once
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm just feeling everything at once
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm just feeling everything at once

I love this!!!! The song is so catchy and well written. But it also has all the insinuations and meaning of how people live through so much....a lot of that being something versus another.

I love the duality of the video and that was portrayed perfectly!!!

I just found you as an artist recently and I’m so, so glad I did!!! You are such a huge inspiration!!!

Cannot wait to see what the future has for you!!!

Forever a part of the “swarm” (if that is the fan base name 😉).....but also forever a fan!!!

Love it!! Amazing! 💙💙💙

I feel like this describes how it feels to have “good” days mentally vs “bad” days mentally so well. No matter if you have a “good” or “bad” day you still feel depressed/numb/everything at once. It’s wild how accurate this is.

@fatema2466

totally agree

@PsychoticQueen

You couldnt have said this better!

@fable_enthusiast

I feel like that's the result you get from not treating major depression properly...

@MysticalGalaxy23

I was just thinking the same thing.

@Ashley-jz2fi

Agreed

Most songs talk about how people are numb when depressed, they feel dead inside. But when I’m having an episode I don’t feel numb I feel overwhelmed with anxiety and the hopelessness of my depression. I always pretend to be fine but honestly, I’m not, and I’m not breaking down because I’m legitimately too anxious to cry. Thank you for this song, it really helped me understand myself a bit better

@deadsoon

This is gonna sound a bit outta pocket but anxious depression is often a sign it might be actually mixed bipolar episodes.

@tenyaiida9581

I hate when they say it's an aesthetic I have attempted and I felt alot don't tell aizawa sensei

@thatperson278

I remember one time I was having a really rough day, started having thoughts of suicide. My grandmother happened to text and asked if I wanted to call. Normally I would say I'm fine but I guess the joke of everyone feeling like they can tell her everything is true. It was a short call, but after we hung up I cried harder than I have in a long time.
