About This Track

'Trust Issues' by Emei is a 2022 Pop track from the album 'End of an Era - EP'. The lyrics move through anxious, self-surveillance imagery, from a dream of being altered into a new look, to the sense that even upgrades leave them unsettled. Technology and authority surface as they look for reassurance, while the perspective turns sour and reactive, puncturing optimism with suspicion and anger. One phrase sums up the track’s mood: “safety net”.

"Trust Issues" is a single by Emei, from the album End of an Era - EP, released 25th October 2022. The track is 2:21 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Emei.

Lyrics

Trust Issues

Had a dream where they shaved my head
Top model, makeover stitch
Heads up from the subconscious
New look, still I got upset

Got a doctor on the interweb
Say it means I need a safety net
New faces leaving me on read
New cities getting to my head

Calling them incompetent 'cause I might need control
Recovering perfectionist, I'm learning to let go

I've got trust issues
Jumpin' out the plane without a parachute
Micromanage up until I blow a fuse
Don't like it when they tell me
But I know I do, I've got trust issues

Everybody likes to give advice (calm down)
Optimists are hard to fight
Telling me how to live my life (my life)
Take it chill, give it time

But I'm impatient, like to plan ahead (ahead)
Gotta be ten out of ten
When I see it going out of line
Tell myself it's a waste of time

Calling them incompetent 'cause I might need control
Recovering perfectionist, I'm learning to let go

I've got trust issues
Jumpin' out the plane without a parachute
Micromanage up until I blow a fuse
Don't like it when they tell me
But I know I do (I know I do)
I've got trust issues (I know I do)

I've got trust issues

But I know I do
I've got trust issues
