This song is about someone having expectations put on them as a young child. then they grow up and have a guilt and shame complex because they didn't achieve what others planted as their goals. Also about these people having damaged expectations of others, continuing the cycle
lyrics
Ash twisted frail
my focus beyond the pale
and how else can I fail you id lie to know
and how else can I fail before I go
When I was young they told me I was smart
But I cant finish anything I start
When I was young they told me that I would succeed
I got everything I need, minimalism is my creed
without a care, Im there
blurred passive eyes
I dont know why I cant cry
give me my shot and Ill take it
I dont want to fight, I just had a bad night
sometimes I feel like Im naked
theres something on my mind, and I cant seem to find a way to shake it
