“just a little” is the 5th track of the album “liminal space” by mxmtoon. It is about societal expectations, and how women are expected to not feel any anger or feeling, and has no moment where they can be truly themselves.
[Verse 1]
One year short a fourth a century
Part of me's still stuck at fourteen
Never thought I'd be somebody
That could get so angry
One more second 'til I shatter
I've been told to say I'm fine
Nothing really seems to matter
When it comes to my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Bite my tongue until it breaks
Blood on my cheeks
It's been taking up more space
Lately
[Chorus]
Try to scream, but it always sounds pretty
Sink my nails in my skin when I'm pitied
I wish someone could hear me
I wish they wouldn't fear me
I wish someone could let me lose it
Hold it in, can't say I'm not civil
Breathing out 'til the storm starts to settle
Can I lose my cool just a little?
Just a little, just a little
[Verse 2]
Always good at understanding
Always try to keep the peace
Standing in your shoes for so long
I've forgotten all of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Clench my face until I'm weak
Hardly breathing
Think so much so I can't speak
My eyes are leaking
[Chorus]
Try to scream, but it always sounds pretty
Sink my nails in my skin when I'm pitied
I wish someone could hear me
I wish they wouldn't fear me
I wish someone could let me lose it
Hold it in, can't say I'm not civil
Breathing out 'til the storm starts to settle
Can I lose my cool just a little?
Just a little, just a little
[Bridge]
Feel so much 'til I feel nothing
Feel so much 'til I feel nothing
Feel so much 'til I feel nothing
Feel nothing
Feel so much 'til I feel nothing
Feel so much 'til I feel nothing
Feel so much 'til I feel nothing
Feel nothing
[Chorus]
Try to scream, but it always sounds pretty
Sink my nails in my skin when I'm pitied
I wish someone could hear me
I wish they wouldn't fear me
I wish someone could let me lose it
Hold it in, can't say I'm not civil
Breathing out 'til the storm starts to settle
Can I lose my cool just a little?
