Watsky - Talking To Myself Lyrics
One day you opened up your eyes inside of you
Inside a world inside a universe you didn't get to choose
You didn't get to pick the rules or pick the past or set the pace
Or cast the cast and crew you didn't get to pick your starting place
And though it was a race you didn't understand
And when you tripped and dropped you picked yourself up off the ground
And picked your scabs you knew you had to pick a plan to end what you began
As you got older there were days of cold surrender
Days of shrugged whatever's folded in with days of shocking splendor
But as time advanced the lovely days were covered up from view
By an advancing melancholy haze that hovered near the dew
Yet there were moments
There were these pure arresting moments when you stepped outside your head
Outside your pain outside control, outside the bullshit, out of body, out of rage
Outside the need to get it, get it, you will never get it, that's okay
Have you felt a little off today
Had a lot to say
But wound up talking to yourself?
I've been huntin' for a kindly ear
But couldn't find one near
And wound up talking to myself
Had a little spot where you been going through a lot
Wanna shove it to the bottom, but a trouble gonna bubble to the top
Cause you get up in the morning get ahead then get to bed and then you do it all again until the moment that you drop
You need a plot
What you wanna witness with this life you got
You kicked and fought tryna get up in your skin and pick this lock
That ticking clock lets you know that bitch you got these situations with you
Issues someone fit to quick should sit you should down to talk
Ever wonder who's the crazy one, people walking to work as if nothing is off
But if a person really got it they would be cracking a bottle on somebody's head and looting from shops
Are there times you're alone now when nobody's home but you walk around muttering under your breath
Second guess shit saying goddammit goddammit goddammit just whispering soft
Do you ever get lost, deep in your thoughts, tripping when you think about the cost of seeing this through
When you tie your stomach into knots that you don't know how to undo
There's no one way this has to be?
Or maybe that's just me
Have you felt a little off today
Had a lot to say
But wound up talking to yourself?
I've been huntin' for a kindly ear
But couldn't find one near
And wound up talking to myself
How you feeling today?..

Watsky Talking To Myself Comments
This song got me hooked on Watsky but this shits got wheels.
Shit hits pretty close to home
Cant wait to do a meet and greet in philly in April!!! [email protected]
Just added this to my play list "music videos I like." such a creative use of space. wondering how they did that!
Thank you, I am new to your music but this really hit home and I know I’ll be playing this song to cheer me up for days to come, I’m feeling much better today.
Pure magic
I thought it was... cracking a bottle, instead of looting up shops. Or maybe cracking bottles on someones head who was looting up shops. Hope the cd has lyrics printed like the good ole days and the stuff I watched is incorrect.
They would be cracking a bottle on somebody's head and looting from shops
Dear Mr. Watsky how you put into words how I feel going through years of trauma makes me understand that maybe im not the only one.My son introduced me to your music, then to this particular song. I've recently stayed at a facility to get help because after dealing with my issues since my first memories I had lost strength. Thank you for asking how am I feeling today! I'm here. Mr. Watsky thank you for being you and thank you for your words.
Incredible. Unsettling in the best ways.
Still one of his best to me
The people who downvoted this are the worst kind of people.
Underrated masterpiece.
I keep coming back to it in every phase of my life.
pas de deux
Dancing to your amazing rap. This is like what I’d envision my current content to get to some day 😱
This should have at least 10 times as many views...
95% sure watsky had a divine ghost writer on that first verse...
SO. GOOD.
Bruh, the more I listen, the more I like! I have to thank EpicLloyd and NicePeter for introducing you to me
This song came out shortly after my younger brother lost his life. It touched me deeply then & still touches me deeply now. Thank you
Hey just want to share some love and say I love how complex your music is. I get something new from it each time I listen. Thanks for creating ♥️
Gtfoh. 2016 and I’m just hearing a song that is oddly specific to me and my thoughts? How tf did this just pop up. Watsky are you stalking me? Lmao. Love it
Damn this song has 2.000.000 views, probably half of them are just mine :-/
These lyrics really rock me to my core. Been having a hard life lately since coming out to my family. Just taking things one day at a time.
Albus Bumbledoof hey bro this comment didn’t get much attention 4 months ago but I hope you’re doing alright. My DMs are open if you need to talk
This song fucking speaks to me. Thanks Watsky.
yo Kelsey Landers is having the most beautiful seizure ive ever seen
Watsky. Thank you for everything.
Watsky is an amazing artist!

I needed this....thank you...
Woohoo 2019!!! Lovely song!
And I am gonna sniff it.
Let Me get my Yod Banana Pudding.
Hallographic Yoga. Awesome1!
I love your music!
How you feeling today?
For me, this song is so multifaceted and multipurpose. Like, whatever mood I am in whenever I play it, this song matches, and enhances. May it be deep and sad, upbeat and almost poppy, ect.. It's like my mind can pick out whatever mood I need empathized. I wonder if this was your intention in making this Watsky?
tiktok be like
I feel this so hard it makes me cry😭💕
i have been listening to these songs for a while now and they just blew my mind. and then i watched the videos... it's even better
I've heard this song since its come out, I've listened to it about 100 times. I need to know if anyone has any answers. I'm not doing well, and i need to know if anyone has a reason why.
rly great song
This hits dead on. Thanks Watsky...
Ghost count 9
I almost had a seizure hearing this at 2x speed
My jazz/contemporary is doing a contemporary dance to this song (she cut out the bad words)
We have only done the very beginning...we just started yesterday...
This song is so relaxing.
Wrote these lyrics on a wall in tenderloin, San Francisco! As I whispered, “Goddamn,Goddamn Goddamn to myself after stepping in a pile of human shit!!!! True SF story Peace&love
i talk to myself because nobody else will listen to me. so i really enjoy this song because people just call me crayzy
Great song! and the music video went perfectly with what it represents!
Trying to do an analytical essay of this song/video. Why is Wastky so not talked about? Such an awesome song, video, and message. Love everything Watsky does.
I hope to be able to attend your show at Ram Head in MD this Feb. I love your lyrics and the flow between them. As a writer, listening to your music hits me in a new way that just always encourages my writings.
I wish one day I could meet you and just have a day chart in over lyrics and inspirations.
This song, above almost all of them, always hits me on a personal level.
My Christmas wish: to one on one with Watsky ❤
Every time I listen to this song, I tell myself I'm not gonna tear up...almost always do though.
I could turn this video in for a abstract art project and get a 108
2:48 is so cool
The power within
Is it too petty to say something about how she's all crawl spinning on them dirty ass floors lmao
thank you.
Thank you George. Great show as always and I look forward the next.
I love this video so much.
who down voted this ?!?
Thought I heard the Gorillaz for a sec
This video makes me think of how many sides to ourselves there are, and when we are alone we can’t just pick one personality to wear that works best for a situation we are alone and are forced to face the entire reality of who we are and our many sides
No ones gonna say it? ok... She THICC
The Even One In no she ain’t
Yash she is!!
shit :( Why wouldn't you come to France? Pleaaase?
Ghost count:
12
Including piano ghost. Correct me if I'm wrong
When you tie your stomach into knots that you don’t know how to undo
Straight bars
song is godlike vid is dog shit :D
2018 this song is still me haha. So amazing.
This song hits too close to home for so many people, this is my favorite, right next to exquisite corpse
Your lyrics often make me wonder what kind of spiritual data you have studied and with whom. The two lines that stand-out the most to me are ("when the pistol popped you ran" - from this song) and ("you still won that marathon of swimming up that Fallopian" - from man of constant sorrow). Both lines refer (I think) to that first race we all ran in life, the one each of us won (with the prize being the physical body we now reside in). George, if you see this post, do you mind sharing more on the subject? (such as am I on track with your intended meaning, and where you got these ideas). You have the most awesome lyrics and your brilliance is reflected in all of your "creations".
Rewatching all your videos after hearing about your new song coming Dx
FIFA is a shit game
You and I will never agree on a lot of things but this song speaks to me thanks George. #Respect
This resonates within me on a personal level, as I mostly talk to myself, mainly due to not finding someone who will listen.
Thank you for you’re art Watsky it’s much needed💓
No one hits my heart and soul like you watsky...your way more important to a lot of people then you will ever know. Your music just grabs my ears so easily ,I spend so much time just listening to your music. .and your poetry...I can't wait to finally see you live...I'm sure I'll have a heart attack...but it'll be worth it. . . I love you so much. . . you help me so much. Everyday. Don't ever forget about all of us who love you dearly.
Good song but what’s that girls name 🤔🤔
Damn...
Hes too smart for the masses
BRILLIANT! This is really a masterpiece! It touches me very much, both the video and the song itself. Brilliant. Thank you.
One day you opened up your eyes inside of you
Inside a world inside a universe you didn’t get to choose
You didn’t get to pick the rules or pick the past or set the pace
Or cast the cast and crew you didn’t get to pick your starting place
And though it was a race you didn’t understand
You simply lined up on the blocks and when the pistol popped you ran
And when you tripped and dropped you picked yourself up off the ground
And picked your scabs you knew you had to pick a plan to end what you began
As you got older there were days of cold surrender
Days of shrugged whatevers folded in with days of shocking splendor
But as time advanced the lovely days were covered up from view
By an advancing melancholy haze that hovered near the dew
Yet there were moments
There were these pure arresting moments when you stepped outside your head
Outside your pain outside control, outside the bullshit, out of body, out of rage
Outside the need to get it, get it, you will never get it, that’s okay
Have you felt a little off today
Had a lot to say
But wound up talking to yourself?
Have you hunted for a kindly ear
But couldn’t find one near
And wound up talking to yourself?
Had a little spot where you been going through a lot
Wanna shove it to the bottom but a trouble gonna bubble to the top
Then the bubble gonna pop and the hustle never ever gonna stop
Cause you get up in the morning get ahead then get to bed and then you do it all again until the moment that you drop
You need a plot, what you wanna witness with this life you got
You kicked and fought trynna get up in your skin and pick this lock
That ticking clock lets you know that bitch you got these situations witchu
Issues someone fit to quick should sit you should down to talk
Ever wonder who’s the crazy the one, people walking to work as if nothing is off
But if a person really got it they would be cracking a bottle on somebody’s head and looting from shops
Are there times you’re alone now when nobody’s home but you walk around muttering under your breath second shit saying goddammit goddammit goddammit just whispering soft
Do you ever get lost, deep in your thoughts, tripping when you think about the cost of seeing this through
When you tie your stomach into knots that you don’t know how to undo
But do you ever have another moment after that, when you can see
There’s no one way this has to be? Or maybe that’s just me
George watsky for president
Watsky, I’m not sure if you will ever see this, but if you do...
You helped me get through my childhood and your music is so beautiful I selfishly hope you never ever stop. You’re a one in a billion talent and I’m so grateful you decided to make music. Honestly I first saw you on ERB and ever since that second verse I knew you were gonna be crazy big, then when I followed your page I saw the evolution of a man who unintentionally taught a whole spectrum of people that it’s okay. We all experience the same things in different ways and your music truthfully respects that. Honestly you were the inspiration for a lot. Anywho, have a great day!
TL:DR
Watsky you’re awesome! Don’t stop making music!
Good choice in no real face tattoos. Yet the ones on the album look cool.
anybody know the piano music for this?
Such great lyrics. I love a lot of this guy's stuff
God damn. So relatable.. so much emotion.. So. Damn. Beautiful.
This reminds me of twenty øne pilots and I love it |-/
Such a great dancer!
This song is about battling Anxiety. Pure and simple. At least in my opinion.
I hope the people who downvoted this get the help they need.
this is almost perfect
DUCK MAN GHIS MESSED ME UP
Wow, amazing choreography and dancing... oh yeah, song was good too.
I relate but also my life is cushy so either I'm an attention seeking bitch without fully realizing it or I'm hella sick in the head.. probably both tbh
George you rock
Man fuck you.... This is some good shit..
