Screen Lyrics

I do not know why I would go
In front of you and hide my soul
'Cause you're the only one who knows it
Yeah, you're the only one who knows it
And I will hide behind my pride
D-don't know why I think I could lie
'Cause there's a screen on my chest
Yeah, there's a screen on my chest

(Oh) I'm standing in front of you
(Oh) I'm standing in front of you
(Oh-oh-oh) I'm trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
(Oh) I'm standing in front of you
(Oh) Oh, I'm standing in front of you
(Oh-oh-oh) I'm trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool

I can't see past my own nose
I'm seeing everything in slo-mo
Look out below crashing down to the ground
Just like a vertical locomotive, that's a train
Am I painting the picture that's in my brain?
A train from the sky, locomotive, my motives are insane
My flow's not great, okay, I conversate with people
Who know if I flow on a song, I'll get no radio play
While you're doing fine, there's some people and I
Who have a really tough time getting through this life
So excuse us while we sing to the sky

(Oh) I'm standing in front of you
(Oh) I'm standing in front of you
(Oh-oh-oh) I'm trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool (I'm standing)
(Oh) I'm standing in front of you (I'm standing)
(Oh) Oh, I'm standing in front of you (I'm standing)
(Oh-oh-oh) Oh, I'm trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool

Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, mm
We're broken, we're broken
We're broken, we're broken people
We're broken people, yeah
We're broken, we're broken
We're broken, we're broken people
We're broken people, yeah
We're broken, we're broken
We're broken, we're broken people
We're broken people, yeah

(Stand) I'm standing in front of you (we're broken, we're broken)
(Stand) I'm standing in front of you (we're broken, we're broken people, oh)
(Stand) I'm trying to be so cool (we're broken people)
(Stand) Everything together trying to be so cool
(I'm standing) I'm standing in front of you (we've broken, we've broken)
(I'm standing) Oh, I'm standing in front of you (we've broken, we've broken people)
(I'm standing, oh-oh) Oh, I'm trying to be so cool (we've broken people)
Everything together trying to be so cool

What is the Meaning of Screen?

Peering into the depths of our inner selves can often reveal a tumultuous struggle between authenticity and the desire to fit in. This song paints a vivid picture of that internal conflict, with the protagonist hiding his true self behind a metaphorical 'screen'. He strives for acceptance and coolness, despite feeling broken inside. The lyrics resonate with those who grapple with their identity, self-esteem, or mental health issues. It's a poignant reminder that we are all human, prone to feelings of inadequacy and fear of rejection. Yet, it also carries an underlying message of hope - the raw confession of being 'broken' is the first step towards healing and acceptance. #InnerStruggle #Authenticity #MentalHealth #HealingThroughMusic
