Description
Sometimes support sounds like noise in your head - kind, necessary, but still unnecessary. It feels like someone is trying to carefully pull out a splinter, but in doing so, they touch something deeper than you would like to show. The world of advice, sympathy, and “be strong” turns into a battlefield between what needs to be done and what you simply don't have the strength to do.
There is no hysteria here, only fatigue, politely covered up with a request to “be patient.” Every word is like a step through the sticky sand of inner chaos. The music seems to pull out what has long been hidden under the habit of “holding on.” And somewhere in all this, the truth can be heard: healing rarely looks beautiful. Sometimes it's just an attempt not to fall while someone whispers, “Please be patient.”

Lyrics and translation
Original
I know you're trying to help me. I know you're trying to help me.
I know you're trying to help me.
Feels like I'm going backwards.
Each day I preach my practice, and still it seems I wasn't ready for this.
-Rip this thing out of my head. -Be patient.
Clip my wings, I do my best.
There's blood on my favorite T-shirt. I don't know if this is working, 'cause now
I'm dreaming of the worst case best case.
Feel like a fish on a hook.
I'm crying like a child would, and now I'm here, I might as well just go through with this.
-Rip this thing out of my head.
-Be -patient. -Clip my wings, I do my best.
-Be patient. -Gotta get this off my chest.
This never would have happened if I. . .
Rip this thing out of my head.
-Be patient. -Clip my wings, I do my best.
-Be patient. -Gotta get this off my chest.
This never would have happened if I stayed in my lane, stayed the same way. Stayed in my lane, stayed the same way.
Stayed in my lane, stayed the same way.
Stayed in -my lane, stayed the same way.
Stayed- -I know you're trying to help me. . . in my lane, stayed the same way.
-I know you're trying to help me. -Stayed in my lane.
