Gartland, Orla - Problematic Lyrics






One night I had a dream
That everything wasn't as bad as it seems
Now I just wanna go back
I just wanna go back

Next day, I looked around
About as helpful as the dirt on the ground
Now I just wanna go back
I just wanna go back

My guard is down and I feel pathetic
The world's gone mad and I just don't get it
I can't even try
The TV's on but I just see static
And everything, feels so problematic
So I'll cry 'til you pull the wool back over my eyes

Two shots, into the crowd
It all goes over my head like a cloud
Now I just wanna go back
I just wanna go back

Maybe this is deja vu
Maybe I can't see the fun
Maybe it's just been a shit year for everyone
Maybe I'm a coward being cryptic
Or maybe this is all apocalyptic
Apocalyptic, apocalyptic

My guard is down and I feel pathetic
The world's gone mad and I just don't get it
I can't even try
The TV's on but I just see static
And everything, feels so problematic
So I'll cry 'til you pull the wool back over my eyes

Maybe this is turbulence
Maybe it'll come and go
Maybe it's a secret that we can only dream to know
Maybe it's all there for us to ignore
Or maybe I just need to learn to smile more

Maybe this is deja vu
Maybe I can't see the fun
Maybe it's just been a shit year for everyone
Maybe I'm a coward being cryptic
Or maybe this is all apocalyptic
Apocalyptic, apocalyptic

My guard is down and I feel pathetic
The world's gone mad and I just don't get it
I can't even try
The TV's on but I just see static
And everything, feels so problematic
So I'll cry 'til you pull the wool back over my eyes
So I'll cry 'til you pull the wool back over my eyes

    Don't know if this ever was about Brexit, but that's been my interpretation all along... Crazy that three years on from the song, it's still a shit year for everyone... :S

  16. E.... A....

    Orla bby please put this on Spotify!! I can't cope

  17. G.... M....

    Orla, I am the type that rarely cries; not because I don't want to, but because it is difficult to let my emotions loose enough. Music is my passion and the few times I have cried have been to music. Right now, I am going through a pivotal moment in my life, and I have many emotions bottled up. I stumbled upon your music today and for some reason, listening to this song moved me so much that I just started crying uncontrollably, and even now as I type, I am still tearing up. I thank you so much for that. I can tell you genuinely feel the music you write and it. You are truly a beautiful soul. Much love.

  18. M.... D....
