| Tame Impala – Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Think it's about going crazy. Everything starts to fall apart and spiral out of control and you just don't understand why. You think you might be overthinking, but you can't take it easy, even though you want to. And that only person you beg to help you (in this case Elodie), the only person who could fix you turns his/her back on you and it worsens the situation. You just want to explain what you're going through, make him/her understand...but (s)he just doesn't care to listen....All you want now is to make it stop, to let go, to make this - whatever you're feeling - go away but you don't know how or can't and "it sucks to keep on running". You try to stay hopeful, tell yourself "Eventually, there will be a time for clearer thinking", you try to think of something positive, but feelings of happiness just float pass you, leaving you weeping and sleepless, tired of everything. It's just something you cannot control. At some point you fall apart completely and admit that you really are going out of your mind and you choose to "lose the fight". And so you give up and seek help elsewhere (seek medical attention) and stay kind of static or idle, until you start feeling better again. You let your arms down and just wait for all this to be over, as sad as it is. But somewhere deep inside you still hope to one day tell that person who left you bleeding in solitude, how you felt ("I'll just be here waiting till the Doctor calls and then I'll let you know") and how hard it was for you, in hope that maybe that person will feel sorry for what (s)he had done. Kind of a little revenge. This described so perfectly what I was going through when I had a mixed episode of bipolar disorder and was let down by someone who meant so much...It was super hard but eventually my state of mind cleared. I found so much comfort in this (and other Tame Impala) songs. Ãœberawesome band! |
