[Intro]

I'm a fucked up mess, feeling angry and depressed

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions


[Verse 1]

Oops, I did drugs again last night

My younger self would be mortified

'Cause Captain Planet told me to say no

Oh, what happened? When did I grow into a


[Chorus]

Fucked up mess, feeling angry and depressed?

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions

I'm in so much debt, so I'm getting off my head

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions


[Verse 2]

Shit, why did I get drunk again?

And get it on, yeah, with all my friends?

Got with my best friend and his roommate too

And his roommatе's girlfriend

Hey, head, what's wrong with you?

Hеy, head, what's wrong with you?


[Chorus]

I'm a fucked up mess, feeling angry and depressed

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions

I'm in so much debt, so I'm getting off my head

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions


[Verse 3]

Okay, now please don't think I'm tryna glamorise all of the shit that I despise about myself

'Cause my mental health is tenuous at best from all the pressure and the stress of other people's expectations

I'm crushed by the weight, so I self-medicate to escape

Then I just make more mistakes, can't break this stupid cycle of self-hate


[Bridge]

These are my confessions

Someday I'll learn my lesson

These bad decisions haunt me

But they make good stories


[Chorus]

I'm a fucked up mess, feeling angry and depressed

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions

I'm in so much debt, so I'm getting off my head

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions

I'm a fucked up mess, feeling angry and depressed

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions

I'm in so much debt, so I'm getting off my head

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions


[Outro]

I'm a fucked up mess, feeling angry and depressed

I make bad decisions, I make bad decisions

The mention of “Captain Planet” suggests a reference to the animated TV show “Captain Planet and the Planeteers.” In the show, the superhero Captain Planet promotes environmentalism and responsibility.

In the given context of the lyrics, it appears that Emmy Mack’s younger self would be ashamed or disappointed in the choices she made, possibly because the values of saying “no” or making responsible decisions align with the ideals promoted by Captain Planet. The lyrics convey a sense of self-awareness and introspection regarding personal growth and the evolution of one’s beliefs or actions over time.
