[Bridge]
The bridge reflects on learning and growing through pain and struggle. It talks about how life is not about simple success or failure but a difficult, sometimes toxic journey that keeps moving forward. Attempts to protect oneself or gain immunity to stress often fail, leaving a sense of frustration. The singer shows empathy, noticing the struggles of others, like a girl dealing with yelling parents, and connects it to pretending and hiding struggles. Even small moments of fear, like meeting someone new or feeling weak, are exhausting. There is an ongoing effort to cope, but it never feels enough, and the restlessness persists. Questions and small gestures don’t always help, and every day feels like a challenge that doesn’t end, emphasizing the continuous pressure and the emotional weight that fear carries. The repeated references to not being able to sit still highlight the physical and mental tension that comes from living with constant worry and fear.

Fear continues to dominate the singer’s life, keeping them on edge. Life feels unendingly fast and stressful, chasing them constantly. Emotions are strong and gripping, and the restlessness never stops. Fear shapes every action and thought, making it hard to find peace. Even when trying to cope or slow down, life and fear push forward relentlessly. This repetition emphasizes the exhausting cycle of anxiety and pressure, showing how fear infiltrates daily life and keeps them moving without relief. It’s a raw, continuous struggle that feels inescapable.
