“Nervous Wreck” is the first new material from Real Friends in nearly three years since their last full-length album Composure. It discusses feelings of isolation and dissociation from reality, pain which undoubtedly was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Notably, this is their first song with ex-Y...
[Verse 1]
Drew the blinds on the sunlight pouring in
Locked the door but I hope someone opens it
A recluse torn in two by loneliness
Don’t wanna be with myself or anyone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Thoughts are turning poisonous
Vital signs are weakening
Hold my breath and hope this ends
[Chorus]
Cause lately I’ve been more or less a nervous wreck
I‘m staying in, I’m out of it
A ghost in my reflection
I wanna see me again
I wanna see me again
[Verse 2]
Left the house stepping out on a limb again
Chasing fleeting feelings of confidence
With a map torn in half, I’m dirеctionless
Drifting far from myself
And evеryone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Thoughts are turning poisonous
Vital signs are weakening
Hold my breath and hope this ends
[Chorus]
Cause lately I’ve been more or less a nervous wreck
I‘m staying in, I’m out of it
A ghost in my reflection
I wanna see me again
I wanna see me again
[Bridge]
Drifting far from myself
Drifting far from everybody else
Drifting far from myself
Drifting far from everybody else
Drifting far from myself
Drifting far from everybody
[Chorus]
Because I'm more or less a nervous wreck
I‘m staying in, I’m out of it
A ghost in my reflection
I wanna see me again
[Chorus]
Cause lately I’ve been more or less a nervous wreck
I‘m staying in, I’m out of it
A ghost in my reflection
I wanna see me again
I wanna see me again
Nervous Wreck was produced by Mike Green.
