    Lyrics:
    You’re not running just enough of a wreck
    To hold the hurt heart everybody expects
    And I know
    You wrote a history of making a mess
    Misunderstood’s an understatement at best
    How long, how long will you demand my sympathy
    We all know hurt so why do you feel the need to
    Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste
    No one’s buying it anyway
    You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind
    Whoa
    But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    You can fight just like you’ve been taught
    It won’t undo the life you’ve got
    Whoa
    Cuz the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    You’re not running just enough of a wreck
    To hold the hurt heart everybody expects
    And I know
    You wrote a history of making a mess
    Misunderstood’s an understatement at best
    You say you try, you’re after something better
    It doesn’t show, you’re still not put together
    Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste
    No one’s buying it anyway
    You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind
    Whoa
    But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    You can fight just like you’ve been taught
    It won’t undo the life you’ve got
    Whoa
    Cuz the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    Everybody knows liars never make it for long
    I am getting close I can see just what’s going on
    Everybody knows, everybody knows
    Oh
    I remember what you were before you gave it away
    You’ve never been the type to watch the pieces fall where they may
    And now you’ve let it go
    But I know you know
    Oh
    Ooo, ooo, ooo
    Now the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind
    But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    You can fight just like you’ve been taught
    It won’t undo the life you’ve got
    Whoa
    Cuz the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind
    Whoa (everybody knows)
    But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know
    You can fight just like you’ve been taught
    It won’t undo the life you’ve got
    Whoa (everybody knows)
    Cuz the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know

    A couple months ago, I had a fight with a friend I considered family. We both thought of each other as family. Then I said something horribly wrong and I had a fight and I cannot express how much this sounds like the message that the friend sent. The message opened my eyes and it was good, but it hurt so much coming from that friend. It took me nearly 2 months to get over, and this song reminds me so much of that

      trust me: I get this. It plays in the quiet moments between work, when you are in the shower, again and again in your mind when you are trying to fall asleep.
      Things you now understand were wrong. Things you know you really shouldn't have said, fuck...

      Those are the times that really matter. Pay attention. Be involved. Realize. Emotions are charged because that is how the Soul raises alarms. When you find the reason you needed to hear it from them just as it happened, that bleak time will have suddenly seemingly always been the celebration it was meant to be. 🥲👊 There is an intelligence in nature, call it God or whatever you want, it exists, and if you give it a chance to, it will remind you why you came to his place in glaring and unmistakable ways. Nobody believes it is real, trust me I know the feeling and can empathize. This entity, it is lonely and scared because we are ignoring its pleas as we proceed to torture and murder it. Religion taught us all to fear God and explained quite elegantly why we should, then it ensured that your understanding would always to some degree or another filter through the trap their cult becomes. Religion taught you to distrust and to forfeit believe in God, it taught you to forfeit responsibility altogether and just pretend. You can go ahead and lie about everything, who would enforce any rules to that effect? Religion has trained you to reject belief in anything even vaguely resembling the poison they have effectively made of themselves. This is because modern religion, particularly Christianity, is here to kill God. That is why it is doing just that. You might think they do this for the sake of greed, to ensure business as usual persists.. but no. You'd have to be dig in quite a ways deeper than that to recall that these people invented money for the purpose of masking their endeavor and purchasing your agency. Everything we know about this system as it stands was situated by this cult for the express purpose of ensuring they are afforded the time and resources necessary to assassinate Creation.

    I remember watching your channel years ago when I used to live in another country
    Trying a new better life and all of those things you know
    I Remember felling alone and tired of everything
    it really feels good to see how far I've come
    you're a part of my life and you didn't even knew

  • @soulmechanics7946
    @soulmechanics7946 Před 10 měsíci +2

    This song is pretty rough. I am almost certain that most everyone else is falling far short of actually grasping the depth and profundity of this very clearly simple yet intensely impressive piece of art. I just.. I don't expect that anybody else would have it in them to remain in the world and life you'd have to be living in to catch sight of what she is saying here from my distant and perhaps unique personal perspective. It is terribly sad.

    Have you ever had terrible anxiety? It becomes your biggest bully. It lies to you and tells you not to do stuff, even if you really want to. It ruins relationships and experiences. So you're just so fed up with it
    "And I know, you wrote a history of making a mess"
    "You're so tired trying to rewind
    The mess you've made of your own mind"
    You try to fight your anxiety because you've had it for so long you have an idea of what the anxious voice is, and everyone around you is telling you not to listen to it
    "You can fight, just like you've been taught"
    Eventually, you fighting the anxiety just ends up in you trying to hide what you're worried about
    "Put on a pretty face
    Give them a pretty taste"
    But you're so caught up in fighting the anxiety, you forget to fix everything it has shattered and ruined. Relationships, experiences, etc...
    "It won't undo the life you've got"
    "But the pieces won't pick up themselves, you know"
    Eventually, you figure this out, but it feels impossible to fix everything, and causes more anxiety, so you just try to let all of that go and leave it in the past.
    "And now you've let it go
    But I know you know"
    Long story short, this song reminds me of anxiety and how it can ruin so much. Just don't let it talk you out of trying to pick up the pieces if you know that's what you should do
