Laugh Track Lyrics

Losing my momentum, losing my mind
Not enough to mention, not enough time
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

And you don't know how to deal with me
You don't know how that feels
It all comes apart so easily
And you're running out of ideas

Everything melted in less than a week
Watching it felt like forever
The lights started dimming
And then they went out
Heaven came down like a blanket
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven't found what you're looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene

What is the Meaning of Laugh Track?

Exploring the complexities of human emotions, this lyrical composition delves into the realm of personal struggle and introspection. The song portrays a protagonist grappling with internal turmoil, reflected in their inability to express what they are going through. The repeated instruction to "turn on the laugh track" serves as a metaphor for masking true feelings with a facade of humor or normalcy, suggesting societal pressure to maintain appearances despite emotional distress. The refrain about slipping, shaking, crying, and breaking signifies an impending emotional breakdown that seems inevitable. Yet, there is also an acceptance of this state of being as potentially inherent to their nature. This poignant piece thus underscores the importance of acknowledging one's mental health struggles and challenges the stigma around them.
