Michael Webster - Nausea
Been sleepin' on the wrong side of the bed again
4 am is my best friend, i find comfort in the lights and the caffeinated trends
As of late, every day has just been so mundane
Hypochondriac with atelophobia, i don't know where i'm going or whether i'll fit in
People keep askin' me if i'm really okay
Memories are on my brain, gotta kill 'em with caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine
I know that you never ever felt the samе
Took a train down to the town, i don't why i came herе or why i came around
But you said make the effort for me, for once you might see
So i hung around with all your friends, i know i'm doing good at makin' pretend
And i can't wait for these conversations to end
You said i was way too difficult and that i always acted so cynical
And in that moment i just wanted to be invisible
Ignorance is solitude in a world that's been consumed by the youth
Just a subtle reminder you'll never be understood
And i've been gettin' lost in the times
Ain't no reason to be afraid of livin' in your mind
Keep seein' these boys with thorns in their side, and all these charming men with so much to hide
Back in nineteen-eighty-five with people who had lonely ideas, and careless lives
And a song came on the radio show, oh, heaven knows we're all miserable now
We all keep seein' the light but it never goes out
You took me to a mystical timezone where i lost my mind and the service on my phone
And there was welcome mats in front of everyone's home
So we walked away from it all, and we smoked cigarettes to cushion our fall
When the earth dropped away, we went and rode on the storm
And i've been gettin' lost in the times
Ain't no reason to be afraid of livin' in your mind
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe protagonist grapples with their own inner demons, using caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine as coping mechanisms to numb the pain of their existence. They find solace in the late-night hours, where the world is quiet and they can escape from their racing thoughts.
As the song progresses, the protagonist finds themselves in unfamiliar territory, surrounded by people who don't understand them and struggling to maintain a facade of normalcy. They long for connection and understanding but feel like an outsider in their own skin.
The chorus of the song reflects a sense of acceptance and resilience, as the protagonist acknowledges their struggles but refuses to be consumed by them. They find strength in embracing their own mind and facing their fears head-on.
Overall, "Nausea" is a haunting and poignant song that captures the complexities of mental health struggles and the search for meaning in a world that often feels overwhelming. It is a raw and honest exploration of the human experience and the constant battle to find peace within oneself.
