Do

The speaker describes feeling unable to respond naturally to other people. Even a greeting becomes stressful because they fear their words will be misunderstood. As the lyrics continue, this discomfort deepens into isolation and uncertainty: the speaker struggles to trust their perceptions, thoughts, and feelings, and ends by asking what they are supposed to do.

Several images make this confusion concrete. Bending their back, taking a gulp, and trying to be funny suggests putting on a performance to get through an awkward moment. The eyes that “are lying” imply that the speaker cannot rely on what they see to understand the world. Later, thoughts that seem to be “taken” suggest a feeling of losing ownership of one’s own mind, while admired figures fading away may represent disappointment when ideals seem less mysterious or convincing up close.

The song can be heard as expressing social anxiety and a broader crisis of confidence, but it does not give a clear explanation for the speaker’s state. “There’s nothing I can do” may express helplessness rather than a literal lack of choices. The final question remains unresolved: the speaker seems to want guidance, yet also doubts whether any opinion or feeling can be trusted.
