The upbeat alternative-RnB track brings listeners through Marian’s episodes – between dissociation and trying to ground herself. Despite its playful beat, the song’s backbone is a set of dark lyrics, echoing the sensations that come with a painful recovery.
[Verse 1]
I can't feel anymore
What's real and what isn't
I can't tell anymore
What I've dreamt and what I haven't
Now I lie awake in my sanctity
I've got a premonition
Something to complicate my sanity
And my condition
[Pre Chorus 1]
I can't keep up with myself at all
Trying not to slip into my faults
[Chorus]
See, the way I see it constantly
Is that the moon stopped shining
Stars ain't aligning
The way I see it
It might never get better
See, the way I see it constantly
Is that the moon stopped shining
Stars ain't aligning
The way I see it
It might never get better
[Verse 2]
I can't feel anymore
What's real and what isn't
I can't tell anymore
What I've dreamt and what I haven't
Now I lie awake in my sanctity
I've got a premonition
Something to complicate my sanity
And my condition
[Pre Chorus 2]
I can't see past what's in front of me
Pitch black treading waters cautiously
[Chorus]
See, the way I see it constantly
Is that the moon stopped shining
Stars ain't aligning
The way I see it
It might never get better
See the way I see it constantly
Is that the moon stopped shining
Stars ain't aligning
The way I see it
It might never get better
[Outro]
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh
Don’t wait up for me, honey
Don’t wait up for me, honey
Don’t wait up for me, honey
Don’t wait up for me, honey
Don’t wait up for me, honey
I don’t know if I’ll ever be awake again (I'll never be awake again)
Don’t wait up for me, honey (Ohh, ohh)
I don’t know if I’ll ever be awake again
Don’t wait up for me, honey
I don’t know if I’ll ever be awake again
Don’t wait up for me, honey (don't know if I'll wake)
Don’t wait up for me, honey
I don’t know if I’ll ever be awake again (Ohh, ohh)
Don’t wait up for me, honey
I don’t know if I’ll ever be awake again (Ohh)
Don’t wait up for me, honey (Yeah, yeah)
I don’t know if I’ll ever be awake again
Don’t wait up for me, honey (Mmm)
