The song is very much about communication, about how a conversation between two people unfolds, and how undermining that communication can lead to the end of relationships—whether they are friendships or romantic relationships.

"I Feel Tired" is a phrase that someone can keep repeating to avoid the conversation. "I'm tired, and that's why we're not having the conversation," which might actually help us. It's a vicious circle where the energy is lacking to form a new dynamic, and so the perpetual toxic dynamic is maintained.

Musically framed with a pounding beat and bassline, and a slightly druggy vibe, it also supports the feeling of something claustrophobic, panicky. A slumbering state that won't resolve itself unless things change.
