In the morning
When you throw up water
And your skin turns a pale, pale yellow
Well, every day you lose more color
Do you think that someone paints your mirror?
So you think that things sound different
At the time when you speak
Well, there are visions much clearer than these blurs that you see
And like Neely O'Hara you swallow your sleep
And wake up in the morning
To find you are not who you used to be
You don't recognize the behavior
Or the spelling of your name and the shape that is in the mirror
Well, you'd swear it is not the same
And like Neely O'Hara
You swallow your sleep and you really can't remember
But you know you are not
Think you are not
No, you are not who you used to be
When you throw up water
And your skin turns a pale, pale yellow
Well, every day you lose more color
Do you think that someone paints your mirror?
So you think that things sound different
At the time when you speak
Well, there are visions much clearer than these blurs that you see
And like Neely O'Hara you swallow your sleep
And wake up in the morning
To find you are not who you used to be
You don't recognize the behavior
Or the spelling of your name and the shape that is in the mirror
Well, you'd swear it is not the same
And like Neely O'Hara
You swallow your sleep and you really can't remember
But you know you are not
Think you are not
No, you are not who you used to be

In the morning
When you throw up water
~When I rarely get a hangover, I drink water and throw it up. Sorry, this is just going to be quick and ... yeah that's it.
And your skin turns a pale, pale yellow
Staying inside/insomnia/drugs/ skin becomes.. un-human.
Well, every day you lose more color
Yeah
Do you think that someone paints your mirror?
(implying she doesn't notice changes that are taking place)
So you think that things sound different
At the time when you speak
(that's not how i meant it/ why aren't i in sync with my head)
Well, there are visions much clearer than these blurs that you see
("I find that life is easier when it is just a blur, with no details to confuse who or what or where I was")
And like Neely O'Hara you swallow your sleep
And wake up in the morning
To find you are not who you used to be
(I don't know if you've ever taken sleeping pills for an extended amount of time + copious drug use.. but they melt your brain,///see below)
You don't recognize the behavior
(don't notice)
Or the spelling of your name and the shape that is in the mirror
(is that me?)
Well, you'd swear it is not the same
(things have changed)
And like Neely O'Hara
You swallow your sleep and you really can't remember
(I can't)
But you know you are not
Think you are not
No, you are not who you used to be
(I'm not)
"So you think that things sound different
At the time when you speak
Well, there are visions much clearer than these blurs that you see"
&
"You don't recognize the behavior
Or the spelling of your name and the shape that is in the mirror
Well, you'd swear it is not the same"
those are the same feelings i have when my depersonalization acts up.
its about the girl from valley of the dolls.
him and neely are good friends, they grew up next door to each other.
I just find it odd that the last phrase really said is this,
"I left little pools so that you could repeat after me, alright?"
In the morning
When you throw up water
-Eventually when there is nothing you your system,
that is all that comes out.
And your skin turns a pale, pale yellow
Well, every day you lose more color
Do you think that someone paints your mirror?
-Obviously when you don't eat you loose nutrients
you need etc and your skin starts to turn yellow,
I know I didn't notice it, only others did.
So you think that things sound different
At the time when you speak
Well, there are visions much clearer than these blurs that you see
-Things people say to you, you will twist and turn
make it into your own problems, make what people
say your motivation to continue doing this to yourself easily.
And like Neely O'Hara you swallow your sleep
-Neely O hara=Perfection/Doll I THINK let me know if I'm way off I'm not that educated on this.
-Swallowing your sleep, before you go to bed you
are starving, but if you force yourself to sleep then
you will make that hunger go away. Success.
And wake up in the morning
To find you are not who you used to be
You don't recognize the behavior
Or the spelling of your name and the shape that is in the mirror
-Your not who you used to be, it controls your life, you just
get so used to it that it becomes such a small deal and hope
no one notices so you can continue peacefully.
-It's all about them digits, about them ribs in the mirror,
about someone loving all of you completely.
Well, you'd swear it is not the same
And like Neely O'Hara
You swallow your sleep and you really can't remember
But you know you are not
Think you are not
No, you are not who you used to be
-It's acknowledged whats going on, you know
it's not the same, ruining your life but its worth it
continue to sleep through that hunger swallowing it away.
The last 3 line's are self-explanatory, truth.
Everyone knows, won't dare to say it though.
I really hoped this helped someone,
It's hard hearing this song when you
can relate so well, It's also amazing
how Connor can get it so right.
He's amazing.
Thanks for reading<3
