about

This song is about an episode of derealization and consequently living in a constant feeling of deja vú. It is about questioning your own sanity and keeping it all to yourself because of the fear of not being understood. It is something very close to me, as it is something that still happens here and there and that I had to learn to live with. In the end, I hope that the lyrics and the music can show that with professional help, we can learn how to live with our mental issues.

lyrics

Should I just tell them or do I
Keep ignoring the fact that I might be reliving my life
These untraceable tests that I keep making
I'm not going mad!

How many times have heard this before?
Wasn't I here a few days ago?
This exact conversation!
I'm not going mad!
I'm not going mad!

Can I be losing the perception of
These moments or have I been here before?
They'll lock me in If I confess what I've
Been thinking behind these eyes

I keep coming back, I keep coming back
Just breathe it will pass, just breathe it will pass

I'm pretty sure that I've seen this
And everything in between
No one could ever relate to this insanity
And every time I get out of it it comes back even worse
As an eternal recall planted deep as my curse

I might be losing the perception of
These moments or have I been here before?
They'll lock me in If I confess what I've
Been thinking behind these eyes

I Can't believe it's been two months since I
Got stuck in this loop inside my mind
I keep saying It's going to be fine
But I can't tell what's real from what it's not

I keep coming back, I keep coming back
Am I going mad? Am I going mad?

I think I'm losing the perception of
These moments 'cause I've been here before
They'll lock me in when I confess what I've
Been thinking behind my eyes

Am I delirious to think that I've
Got stuck in this loop inside my mind
I keep saying It's going to be fine
But I can't tell what's real from what it's not

Am I delirious to think that I've
Got stuck in this loop inside my mind
I keep saying It's going to be fine
But Is this real, or have I died?

Or I have died?

I can't ignore it anymore
I'm starting to lose all my hope
I'm not sure of anything
Help me! Help me!
I need to know I'm not insane!

I can't say how many months have passed
Since I'm in this loop in my own mind
I need to know it's going to be fine
But I can't say if I'm dead or alive

I can't believe I've spent so much time
Without help and trying to survive
But the asylum in my head was quite
Worse than the fear of facing my own life

I can't believe I've spent so much time
Without help and trying to survive
But the asylum in my head was quite
Worse than the fear of facing my own life
