Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't even stand being 'round strangers
Do you know what its like to feel
Prison in ya body?
I'm so high, can't stop me now
I'm good now
The shit you don't think twice about
I'm running races with my thoughts
And I lost faith
I'm lost, babe
The shit you don't think twice about
Stay on my mind all day
I'm running races with my thoughts
And I lost
faith
I'm lost, babe
In "Flora," wldflwr shares their experiences with anxiety and how it has affected them. The opening lines describe the feeling of being at a party but feeling uncomfortable around strangers. The need to smoke is a coping mechanism for their anxiety. They further explain the feeling of being trapped in their body, a common symptom of anxiety. They are able to escape these feelings and find some relief through getting high. The chorus emphasizes the pervasive nature of anxiety, where thoughts become like a race, and it is hard to keep up. They feel as though they have lost faith and have become lost.
The repetition of the phrase "the shit you don't think twice about" in the verses is a statement about how difficult it can be for someone with anxiety to move on from thoughts and experiences. These ideas stay on their mind all day and intensify to the point where they feel like they are racing against their own thoughts.
