No More - Lyrics
A testament to the fact that even as we make strides in understanding ourselves and growing, our mental health battles persist, sometimes making us question if any real progress has been made.
Intro
No more, no more do you know me.
Verse
As we converse with these voices inside of our heads
I just can’t believe all the things that I said to myself
Woah
I wanna know I wanna know
Just why you’re here
it’s never been very fun or very clear
you haunt me every single day
why don’t you just fuck off and go away .
Chorus
No more, no more. No, do you know me.
No more, No, more. Do you care.
Verse
It’s like Piccadilly Circus inside of my head.
I’ve pickled my brains even more than I think that I have
So do punt me, shunt me, or be a cunt to me
Or I’ll fucking nut you one in the face
You alright mate
Yeah, we’re alright mate.
Chorus
No more, no more. Do you know me. No more, no more do you care?
Middle
Let’s go now.
Pick me up. Pick me up.
Put me down. Put me down.
Put my feet back on the ground.
Reach up to the sky.
Chorus
No more, no more, do you know me.
No more, no more, do you care.
Outro
I thought you’d understand how it feels
But it’s late now for you to even try.
Cuz I’m not here.
I’m not here.
No more no more do you care.
About
This song is my way of personifying my internal struggle with depression and anxiety. The lyrics, 'As we converse with these voices inside of our heads, I just can't believe all the things that I said to myself,' depict the constant, often self-deprecating dialogue that occurs in my mind.
Followed then by the line, 'it's like Piccadilly Circus inside of my head,' metaphorically illustrates the chaotic nature of my mental health battles. Much like London's Piccadilly Circus's bustling, overwhelming nature, my mind is constantly filled with noise, confusion, and turmoil brought on by anxiety and depression.
Despite the personal growth I've experienced, the response 'No more, no more, do you care' represents the relentless nature of anxiety and depression. Even as I evolve and grow stronger, these personified entities remain, constantly challenging my perception of self-improvement.
Further to that, the song's dialogue between 'Do you know me' and 'Do you care' signifies the complex relationship between personal growth and mental health. It's a testament to the fact that even as we make strides in understanding ourselves and growing, our mental health battles persist, sometimes making us question if any real progress has been made.
