My Therapist Says From Still Searching: Raw Vulnerability Uncloaks The Demons of Distance

Still Searching’s latest offering, My Therapist Says, is a bold and refreshing song that puts honesty back in the frontseat.

This hauntingly beautiful track delves deep into the emotional turmoil of self-imposed isolation and the mental struggles that come with long-distance relationships, weaving a tapestry of raw, unfiltered emotions that resonate profoundly.

From the jarring opening lines, “It happens overnight, One minute you’re right by my side, But then I wake up alone,” you are immediately thrust into a world of loneliness and uncertainty that many know all too well.

The lyrics, drawn from Still Searching’s own therapy sessions, capture the excruciatingly painful emotions in long-distant relationships.

With lines like, “And I’m jealous of the nights that you spend with other people around you,” evoking the premise of insecurities creeping in.

My Therapist Says is not just a melancholic ballad; it morphs into a sonic journey that drags you through the depths of the human psyche.

The haunting backdrop begins with soft vocals and a gentle piano melody, building to a mid-tempo, almost anthemic sound, but never quite resolving, leaving the listener in a state of perpetual anticipation and unease that mirrors the emotional turmoil conveyed in the lyrics.

The instrumentation provides the perfect backdrop for the vocals, creating a rich and immersive sonic landscape that perfectly complements the emotional heft of the lyrics.

My Therapist Says excels in its effortless ability to navigate this emotional sphere.

The lyrics delve unflinchingly into the complexities of mental health, self-doubt, and the societal pressures that frequently accompany long-distance relationships, offering a refreshingly honest and relatable perspective that cuts to the core.

For anyone who has ever felt the crushing weight of loneliness or grappled with the complexities of modern relationships, My Therapist Says by Still Searching is an essential listen, offering a cathartic and deeply resonant exploration of these universal human experiences.

Still Searching My Therapist Says Lyrics

It happens overnight
One minute you’re right by my side
But then I wake up alone
I’m not afraid of heights
But every time you’re catching flights
I’m sweating off my cologne

All my friends are telling me that I’m too selfish
But I guess that they don’t understand how lonely hell is
Man, I’m tripping up again

And I’m losing sleep over us
I guess the voices in my head need to discuss
What I need, just because

I’m sick of everyone that I know thinking I’m better without you
And I’m jealous of the nights that you spend with other people around you
And my therapist says
I need to build up my resilience
With every goodbye
It gets harder to be the good guy

I think I’ve done my time
Put in the work to call you mine
But still I’m smoking alone
It’s getting real old real fast, like we’re losing pace
Memories all start running down my face
Every night, this happens every night

And I’m losing sleep over us
I guess the voices in my head need to discuss
What I need, just because

I’m sick of everyone that I know thinking I’m better without you
And I’m jealous of the nights that you spend with other people around you
And my therapist says
I need to build up my resilience
With every goodbye
It gets harder to be the good guy

All my friends are telling me that I’m too selfish
But I guess that they don’t understand how lonely hell is
Man, I’m tripping up again

I’m sick of everyone that I know thinking I’m better without you
And I’m jealous of the nights that you spend with other people around you
And my therapist says
I need to build up my resilience
With every goodbye
It gets harder to be the good guy
