This is my favorite on the excellent Reprieve.

I just wanna tune out all the billboards weld myself a mental shield I just wanna put down all the pressures and feel how I really feel

I cried when I heard it the first time, because it was so carthatic. This is another of those Ani songs where you feel like it is a rebuke and an exhortation at the same time.

i feel this is a comment on feeling like nothing is making you feel alive, wanting for even 1 brief moment to feel something grab you.
