The Weight of Emotional Turmoil in 'In On It' by Superheaven

Superheaven's song 'In On It' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles of the narrator. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with internal chaos and the weight of their own thoughts. The opening lines, 'Save your breath / Don't you break your neck / I'm seeing signs inside my head,' suggest a sense of overwhelming mental strain, possibly hinting at anxiety or depression. The imagery of a 'car crash in the woods' further emphasizes the feeling of being lost and out of control, a metaphor for the narrator's turbulent state of mind.

The recurring line 'I'll be in on it' signifies a willingness to be involved in the emotional turmoil of another person, despite the personal cost. This could be interpreted as a form of co-dependency, where the narrator is deeply affected by the emotional state of someone else. The lines 'Call me up when you feel sick / I'll be in on it' highlight a sense of duty or obligation to support the other person, even when it takes a toll on their own well-being. The mention of not eating and falling into the same routine suggests a cycle of self-neglect and emotional exhaustion.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and the need for understanding. The plea 'Don't touch me. / I feel hurt when you leave / Nobody could understand what this does to me' reveals a deep sense of vulnerability and the pain of feeling misunderstood. The imagery of 'Autumn leaves and fallen trees / To feel the cold beneath my feet' evokes a sense of desolation and the search for solace in nature. Overall, 'In On It' is a poignant exploration of the complexities of emotional pain and the struggle to find balance and understanding in the midst of it all.
