Freud Would Have a Field Day 🛋️

alternative pop, indie cabaret, art-house

[Verse 1]
Margret asked what I'm feeling
And I said, what do you want me to feel?
She said, that's not how this works
And I said, honey, I've been performing feelings
For an audience of two million since I was sixteen
You think I know where the show ends and I start?

She wrote something down
And I said, are you live-tweeting this?
Or because if you are, at least tag me

[Chorus]
Freud would have a field day with me
Daddy issues wrapped in a content strategy
I turned my whole personality into a product
And now I'm sitting here wondering
If the product broke the person
Or the person broke the product
And Margret's nodding like she's never seen a case study before

[Verse 2]
She asked about my childhood
And I said it was fine
Because it was
It was fine, Margret, I promise
Not in a way that needs unpacking

She raised one eyebrow
And I thought, oh no, she's good at this

Then she asked if I've always needed attention
And I laughed for forty seconds
Before realizing that wasn't a joke
That was a diagnosis

[Chorus]
Freud would have a field day with me
Validation dependency wrapped in branding
I monetized my need to be liked
And called it a business model
And Margret's nodding like
I just handed her
The whole case file myself

[Bridge]
The worst part is I knew every answer
Before she asked the question
I've been diagnosing myself on TikTok
Since I was seventeen

I know my attachment style
I know my love language
I know my enneagram and my attachment trauma
I just don't know how to stop performing
Long enough to actually feel any of it

And Margret said, that's the work
And I said, the work sounds exhausting
And she said, yeah, it is

And that was the first honest thing
Anyone said in this room today

[Outro]
Same time next week, Margret
Same time next week
