Lyrics
[INTRO] *beep… beep… beep… beep…*
Yeah…
That sound means everything is not okay
[VERSE 1] Red screen flashing like my thoughts at night
Every decision feeling like a fight-or-flight
HP bar empty but I’m still standing
Somehow surviving but barely managing
Trainer looking at me like:
> “You good?”
I said:
> “Yeah.”
That was a lie I understood
My whole team low too emotionally
We just out here surviving technically
One bad crit away from everything collapsing
But I keep clicking “Fight” like I don’t know what I’m lacking
And why the music so calm when I’m panicking?
That contrast alone is psychologically damaging
I swear I had a strategy at some point
Now I’m just hoping confusion don’t disappoint
[HOOK] Low HP warning
I’m barely holding on
Screen flashing red but I still press on
Low HP warning
Heart doing that sound
Beep-beep-beep like my confidence breaking down
I got fear
I got stress
I got one potion left in my bag of regrets
Low HP warning
Still in the fight
Even when I know I shouldn’t survive tonight
[VERSE 2] Every gym battle taught me something painfully real
Like pride don’t matter when your team can’t heal
I used to overlevel confidence wise
Now I’m underprepared every time I try
Even the Pokémon Center feeling rushed lately
Like:
> “You again?”
Yeah… unfortunately
I keep walking out too early mentally
Like I’m scared rest might reset everything
And maybe that’s why I stay in danger zones
Cause stillness feels worse than the unknown
At least in battle I know what I’m facing
In my head it’s just endless stat racing
And the beeping never stops in the background
Like anxiety got its own soundtrack now
[HOOK] Low HP warning
Everything is red
But I’m still pretending I’m ahead
Low HP warning
Hands shaking slow
Trying to act like I already know
I got doubt
I got pain
I got 1 HP left in my brain
Low HP warning
Still won’t quit
Even when every sign says I should sit
[OUTRO — Spoken] *beep… beep… beep…*
You ever notice how the red screen doesn’t lie?
It doesn’t care how confident you feel
It just says:
> “You are one hit away from everything ending.”
… But you still press “Fight” anyway
Even when you shouldn’t
…yeah
that’s
And the worst part is…
sometimes I don’t even switch Pokémon
Not because it’s smart
Not because it’s strategy
Just because I’m tired of thinking
Like I’ll sit there staring at the screen thinking:
> “Yeah… this is probably a bad idea.”
…and do it anyway
--- And every time that HP bar drops to zero…
there’s that pause
that silence
like the game itself is saying:
> “You knew this was coming.”
--- But I keep coming back anyway
Not because I’m confident
Because quitting feels louder than the beeping sometimes
--- *beep… beep… beep…*
Yeah
I should probably heal first though respectfully
