| A.C. Newman – I'm Not Talking Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I am an Adult with ADD, I always will have the struggle of not saying the wrong thing, inappropriate, hurtful or stupid, This song brings back the painful childhood memories of swearing to myself to just not say anything. That someday I might fit in and be able to redeem myself. Of seeing life from the sidelines and not engaging to keep myself from being hurt Physically or emotionally. I remember dreaming of the future when it will all make sense and hoping that maybe I will grow out of it. But now with failed relationships due mainly to low self esteem ( thanks to the miserable teachers that told me I deserved the treatment I got from other students) I have struggled with this everyday. I am now in a loving relationship , but still struggle with low self esteem, and with the loving understanding from my wife I think I may redeem myself and not stay on the sidelines and be as close as the songwriter sings about and I am not as faraway as I think. |
