the song is about how he looks at bad news, on the daily basis. It’s the first thing he does in the morning. Which is just dead weight all it does is eat him from the inside.
[Verse 1]
I'm a nervous wreck these days
Live under a tidal wave
People tell me I'm okay
But you never know
You never know
[Pre-Chorus]
If I sound like I'm scared
I probably am
I wanna let go
Would you cut off my hand?
I don't know if you know
But I hope there's a plan
(I hope there's a plan)
[Chorus]
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
[Verse 2]
I'm a fucking mess these days
Hopeless in the hurricane
Everybody swears we're safe
But you never know
You never know
[Pre-Chorus]
If I sound like I'm scared
I probably am
Tell me there's a plan
[Chorus]
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
[Chorus]
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
[Bridge]
Do I sound like I'm scared?
Do I sound like I'm scared?
[Chorus]
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
Dead weight
How do I get my head straight?
I'm tuning out
(I'm tuning out)
