Potentially self-referential in regards to the band’s output, “Method Act” narrates the symptomatic means of coping with an anxiety disorder – regarding social interactions as being occurrences that require method acting. There could be some phonetic word-play incorporated into the song’s title, too...
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me
Have you ever wondered why I always drive alone?
Same reasons why I never pick up my phone
I have these issues that you can't subscribe
But I'm scared to talk to anyone for what they might prescribe
These days I just try to keep to myself
Well aware I've lost touch with everyone else
I understand that I'm fading
I understand that I'm fading away
I'd rather play dead than play catch up
Cause no one really cares all that much
I can't keep having the same conversations
I look to the floor to keep concentration
Focused hard on every single word
My nails are dug deep, and my stomach hurts
I am selfish it seems, but I'm trying my best to breathe
Hoping you don't notice as I keep laughing
