Thinning Annotated
[Verse 1]
Haven't felt right in a week
And I'm thinning out
And it hurts bad
I gotta get back
Hot head and dreamless sleep
I could just slip down
And on the wrong track
I gotta get back
[Verse 2]
I wanna spend the entire year
Just face down
And on my own time
I wanna waste mine
And spend the rest of it asking myself

[Bridge]
I don't think there's anything wrong

I don't think there's anything wrong
[Outro]
Sunlight on the back of my arms
Just thins me out
To a different time
I wanna waste mine

The song talks about the idea of feeling lethargic even though there’s things to be done and coming to an uncomfortable accepta...
