I really love Radiohead. It's one of the bands I felt like I kinda connected to. It gave me sad comfort that really makes me relieve all my sadness when I'm alone. ESPECIALLY THIS SONG!!
So I kinda wanna ramble about the lines that really hit different for me
"I cannot keep up"- This line really shows how depression really makes you feel really slow. It's like you want to do something but you can't no matter how simple they are; brushing your teeth, keeping a healthy sleep schedule, eating properly. And yet time still goes by and you feel like you made no progress. It's almost like the world is moving without you and you "cannot keep up"
"Treading on, people's toes"- I took this line very personally. It explains my struggle with opening up to people that I'm in pain. I feel like whatever I say about myself will spread misery across my loved ones. The last thing I want is for my loved ones to carry my responsibilities and adding my problems into their plates because they probably already have their own problems to catchup to. I feel utterly pathetic and selfish when I worry somebody else.
"Snot-nosed little punk"- The "snot-nosed" says that he's crying. I deeply understand this line as I am sensitive. I cry so easily it makes me feel pathetic. what am I crying for? I hear people say "crying makes you feel better" And yes it's true, but not when it happens so often. The more I cry the more I feel like a little child. It's like I'm a "Snot-nosed little punk" again.
"And if I'm going to talk, I just want to talk, Please don't interrupt, Just sit back and listen."- This whole verse broke me down. If I want to finally open up to someone, I don't want them to give me useless advice or any commentary. I just want their understanding and presence. I want them to listen not hear. I just want them to stay with me until my tears dry.
"It's too much, Too bright, Too powerful"- This is my first time living. I am unexperienced of the dark side of life. This feels too overwhelming and too at-once. I don't know how to progress this or what should I do. But I feel like I can't just sit there and do nothing. Everything is going too fast and I'm not doing anything. I am fragile and all this useless pressure will break me. This is just too much.
This is my way of connecting to this song. Actually I wanted to ramble WAY more but I don't know how to word it since wording feelings is difficult, so I just wanted to simplify the ones I felt most connected to.
Thank you for reading this.
