The song "Misinterpretations" by Giant Rooks explores themes of self-doubt, feeling lost, and the struggle to find meaning in life. The lyrics depict a sense of uncertainty and internal conflict, as the narrator questions their own emotions and experiences. The song begins with the line "I'll never let you go, now we flow in a way." This could be interpreted as the narrator talking to themselves or addressing someone close to them. They acknowledge that they are in a state of turmoil, describing it as "terrible" and expressing their reluctance to face the day ahead. The chorus reflects the narrator's internal struggle as they ask how long they can continue to fake or ignore their emotions. They express a fear of reaching a point where others may start to hate them. This fear may stem from a fear of rejection or the pressure to constantly present themselves in a positive light. The lyrics also touch on the idea of not understanding or grasping certain aspects of life. The line "More of what I cannot grasp" is repeated throughout the song, suggesting a feeling of confusion or frustration in trying to make sense of things. The bridge of the song shifts the focus to the narrator's search for belief and meaning. They question why they should believe in things they cannot see, expressing a desire for someone to provide the answers they seek. The imagery of being above water but unable to breathe indicates a feeling of being overwhelmed and suffocated by their own thoughts. The repeated line "Taking a step back in time, throwing up thoughts I thought were mine" suggests a recurring pattern of overthinking and doubting one's own thoughts and feelings. Overall, "Misinterpretations" delves into the internal struggles of the narrator as they navigate through life, trying to make sense of their own emotions and experiences while grappling with self-doubt and the fear of being misunderstood or rejected.
