    This song with the scene with Nick questioning his sexuality made me tear up, it's just such a perfect combination and brings out so much emotion to scene. The entire showed the thoughts of a queer teen perfectly. Your voice is absolutely amazing, I really love this.

    at first I was like "so I like the song but it´s sad that the chorus is just one sentence. Could have made more out of that" but then I realized that when I start overthinking and hating on myself it´s this sentence on loop in my head (like she sings in the last verse) "why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this???" and now I really love it.

    The more I listen to this song (and I listen to this song a lot), the more I think that it's lyrically one of Orla's strongest works and an incredible depiction of anxiety as a whole.
    Choosing to sing "why am I like this?" over and over again is just so smart. The sound of that repeating phrase is remarkably reminiscent of the internal thought process you get stuck inside in the middle of an anxious moment - it's like she's took a feeling and perfectly crafted it into music and lyrics.
    I also love how she touches on every group of people in her life: her family, her friends, her acquaintances, a random girl on the train. The scope of anxiety seeping into the brain is so wide and reaches every crevice, every human interaction.
    It’s no wonder to me that Orla is going places with songs like this and I can't wait to see everything she does next 😊 The world neeeeeeds this kind of songwriting and I'm so glad the internet allows me to hear it

    I remember my friend send me this song, she's someone who doesn't share a lot expect animes and she's usually a quiet and even sometimes a bit rude person, she has trouble showing how she feels and knowing she wanted to share a song that she genuinely loved and didnt know how to explain it, made me happy. We're not friends anymore but Im glad I was friends with her

    Last night I smoked a cigarette
    My dad would have been so upset
    Then we got tattoos by the coast
    And I stood there just like a ghost
    Maybe I'm an old soul trapped in a young body
    Maybe you don't really want me there at your birthday party
    I'll be there in the corner, thinking right over
    Every single word of the conversation we just had
    So why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    I saw a girl crying on the train
    Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain
    And I never asked if she was okay
    She just got up and walked away
    Oh, it's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above
    Never in the moment, never giving enough
    Let's go out and shout the words we never said
    I got my mistakes on loop inside my head
    Inside my head
    So why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I like this?
    Why am I?
    Why am I like this?
    Oh, maybe I'm an old soul trapped in a young body
    Maybe you don't really want me there
