Needy - Piano Acoustic


Listen Later

What happens when you’re always too needy in a relationship? Is being needy sabotaging the relationship you’re trying to keep going?
This song is about being needy, being too much of a people pleaser, and what it can mean for your relationships. It’s a song about always having to check in with the other person before you do anything. Sure, it may start out as a very gallant and considerate attitude but as time goes on, it’s likely that you actually come to resent the fact that when you act this way, it stops you from doing the things YOU want to do.
More than this, setting unrealistic expectations in your partner’s mind about your level of commitment means that THEY never get used to dealing with or compromising with YOUR wishes, and so you can end up in a relationship that only reflects the desires and wishes of one of the people.
That can lead to a lot of resentment, and this song is about that - It’s about realising that being needy and over-pleasing has created a relationship that doesn’t feel like home for you, and it’s about realising that you are still powerless to stop it. It’s a song about regrets in relationships.
That’s pretty deep for 4 minutes of music. Maybe I’m over-thinking it.
LYRICS
My god what’s this
My gutlessness
It knows no bounds
It makes no sounds
Just silent me
Anxiety
Chokes down each wish
Strangled, dismissed
Give in
Capitulate a bit
Give up your dreams
Give up your dreams
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Again again again
Every single time
Again again again
This life’s no good
This life’s not mine
Again again again
Every single time
Again again again
This life’s no good
This life’s not mine
It’s my duty
Does this to me
A noiseless drum
An empty gun
A plastic man
Is what I am
No force no drive
No more alive
Resign, concede
Don’t take the lead
Regret and grieve
Regret and grieve
Regret
Regret
Regret
Regret
Regret
Regret
Regret
Again again again
Every single time
Again again again
This life’s no good
This life’s not mine
Approve approve!
Can’t think, can’t move
Can’t stand, can’t sit
Permit permit!
Please validate
Please validate
Apparently
This is my fate
Again again again
Every single time
Again again again
This life’s no good
This life’s not mine
This life’s no good
This life’s not mine
It’s all just been a waste of time
Oh no
