Self-Aware Songtext
von Riverside

I told myself I don′t need it
Scrolling watching reading
I told myself I don't need it
To know what kind of world we live in

I shut myself off from
The whole broken world
I told myself I don′t need it
That this is not any of my concern

But the truth is that I cannot live without you
And I should do something
Cannot just stand and watch

I told myself I don't need it
And I can numb this feeling
And I can hole up deep in the woods
Far from everyone


And then I realised
I'd lived in self-denial
And didn′t even try
To understand
To recognise

Just want to be close to you
I want to feel you close to me
I want to be close to you

I′m sick and tired
Of our fighting
On a minefield
Of the social distance warnings
The future is in our hands
But first
Let's
Unsubscribe the ones who make us hostile
Unsubscribe the ones who make us hostile
Unsubscribe the ones who make us hostile


I want to feel you close to me
Cause I still believe
I will find the answer
But I already know
I need you for
The feeling of
Being complete for the first time

But the truth is that I cannot live without you
And I should do something
Cannot just stand and watch

I told myself I don′t need it
Scrolling watching reading
I told myself I don't need it
To know what kind of world we live in

And then I realised
I′d lived in self-denial
And didn't even try
To understand
To recognise

Just want to be close to you
I want to feel you close to me
I want to be close to you
Being complete for the first time
