From the album thunder storm - Single
This is a song about being trapped in the exact loop you're describing. The narrator keeps saying they're too numb to feel the phone calls, but the whole song is about those calls, counting them, structuring verses around them, ending every chorus with the awareness of missing them. The numbness isn't inability. It's a performance of unavailability that keeps connection at arm's length while mourning its absence.
I'm too high to feel my phone buzz every time that you call
The chorus repeats this like an excuse, but the speaker clearly does feel it, knows exactly when the calls come, builds the entire song around their awareness. The contradiction is the point. Being too high to answer isn't the same as being too high to notice.
I grab my eyes, pour in the bleach / But it didn't clear my mind, I'm traumatized deep from the streets
The bleach line lands as literal self-harm imagery first, but 'didn't clear my mind' repositions it as failed escape. The streets traumatized him, drugs aren't working, physical violence against himself won't work either. He's listing methods that don't solve the problem.
I was really hoping that you took off because I miss you a lot, and um / I'm sorry that I'm crying right now, but I'm drunk
This is the only moment where the detachment cracks. Real longing, real apology, real emotion, then immediately back to the chorus about being too high to feel anything. The song structure shows what he's doing: letting himself feel for eight seconds, then numbing out again for safety.
I see the shadows in here talkin,' tellin' me go to that tree / Grab my rope and grab my pills, I'll take 'em all, see how it feels
The suicidal ideation here isn't abstract. It's detailed, methodical, a backup plan if the first method fails. 'See how it feels' is darkly funny, he's so numb he's curious whether dying would register as a sensation. The narrator doesn't seem to understand that listing this so calmly is what makes it terrifying.
Wandering through starry skies and when tomorrow's day arrives / I'll be a morning closer to the brightest hour here with you
This might be hope, 'brightest hour with you' sounds like reunion. But it sits right after the suicide plan, so 'closer to the brightest hour' could mean closer to death, not closer to reconciliation. The song doesn't clarify. It just returns to the rain and the phone buzz, unresolved.
The phone keeps buzzing. The rain keeps falling. The chorus repeats four times because nothing changes. The narrator thinks being too high is why he can't connect, but the song shows the opposite, he stays high so he won't have to. The bridge proves he can feel everything when he lets himself. He just won't let himself for long.
"god im sad as shit" by comehelpglo depicts a narrator caught in a painful contradiction, claiming numbness to phone calls while structuring the entire song around them and mourning their absence. In Scalpel's line-by-line reading, the song reveals that this numbness functions as a performance of unavailability, a way of maintaining distance from connection even while grieving its loss.
"god im sad as shit" by comehelpglo explores numbness as a choice, escape methods that don't work, brief vulnerability followed by retreat, and death as a timeline. The central thread is numbness as a choice: The song's central contradiction is claiming to be too high to feel the phone while writing an entire song about feeling it, the detachment is performed, not involuntary.
