Lyrics:
Opened up my journal to a page
Everything that hurts me’s still the same
Feels like there’s nothing new for me to say
Why why why
Why why why
Sweating through the sheets shakin’ in bed
Visions of her naked in my head
But I went off and chose myself instead
Why why why
Ease my mind
I don't know why, I
I don’t know, I dont know why
Why why why
I stepped off the stage with nothing left
All the lights were fuckin’ with my head
But here I am, singing songs again
Why why why
Ease my mind
I don’t know why, I
I don’t know, I don’t know why
Why why why
Why why why
Feels like everything goes round and round and round and round and round it goes
Feels like everything goes round and round and round and round and round it
Thought I was about to be a father
Shook me to the core, I’m still a kid
Sometimes I still cry out for my mother
Why why why
Why why why
I don’t know why, I
I don’t know, I don’t know why
Why why why
Why why why
Feels like everything goes round and round and round and round and round it goes
Feels like everything goes round and round and round and round and round it goes

Shawn was present in much of my adolescence, and now that I have reached adulthood I realize that many things change and how difficult it is to find yourself. Thank you Shawn for coming back to music, I will always be rooting for you and wishing you the best.

"But I went off and chose myself instead" WILD AND REAL, LOVED IT
-
Every time somebody likes the comment, I’ll rewatch this banger
-
This song expresses feelings of confusion, regret, and emotional turmoil. Shawn reflects on unresolved pain, anxiety, and the struggle of moving forward while feeling stuck in repetitive cycles. Themes include dealing with the aftermath of difficult choices, like ending a relationship, and confronting deep personal fears, such as unexpected life changes and lingering childhood vulnerabilities. The recurring question of "why" highlights the Shawn's search for meaning and understanding amidst his struggles.

“I went off and chose myself instead.” Thank you, Shawn, for sharing your heart with us. ❤
-
I feel like he needs a hug, hope he knows he's doing great
-
This is so "Handwritten" album coded, but as if this is the album's older and wiser brother. He rediscovers where he came from and this is the most beautiful thing ever. 💗
-
The song made me feel so sad for him. Hope finds the meaning he is searching for and just be happy. We all know he deserves it
-
The lyrcis and the rhythm are so gripping but the cinematography of this music video, the transitions, are on a whole another level I LOVE IT!!!!
-
I can’t help but notice how “why why why” is symbolic with the sound of a baby’s cry “wa wa wa” and the lyrics about still calling out for his mother make it even more noticeable and that’s just cool
-
So many feelings with this song A) he needs a hug B) almost father ? C) he plays guitar so good D)We missed you Shawn. E) This reminds me of Abercrombie and Fitch with the black and white<3.
-
This song feels like Shawn has found his sound ❤
-
Father of aesthetics ✨️
