Скачать или смотреть The Company I Keep - MMQ Mundo (Original Song - Pop Dance)

🎵 The song is about a deep-seated fear of solitude and self-reflection, which the speaker actively tries to suppress by filling their life with superficial interactions (parties, digital scrolling) and constant activity (back-to-back meetings). The speaker uses this noise and busyness as a defensive "armor" to avoid confronting the uncomfortable "versions of myself I've never known" and the unspoken stories the silence holds. Though the speaker briefly considers confronting this fear and finding courage in the quiet, they ultimately choose to keep running, terrified of the moment they have to face the company they keep when they are truly alone.

🎶Lyrics🎶
I said "yes" to the party, just to be in the crowd
Where the music is too loud to hear my thoughts out loud
I scrolled through old conversations, just to feel a connection
A pathetic, digital resurrection
I smiled at all the strangers, told them I was doing fine
A well-practiced and convenient little line.

I'm afraid of the company I keep when I'm alone
It's just me and all the versions of myself I've never known
I fill my life with strangers and with sympathetic noise
To avoid the tender, terrifying, solitary joys
Yeah, I'm afraid of the echo at the bottom of the well
The stories that the silence has to tell.

I schedule back-to-back meetings to outrun the afternoon
The inevitable, yawning, and familiar gloom
I'll take the long way home tonight, past every glowing door
Imagine all the lives that I am not a part of anymore
I wear my busyness like armor, shiny and impressed
But it never holds the weight when I am finally undressed.

I'm afraid of the company I keep when I'm alone
It's just me and all the versions of myself I've never known
I fill my life with strangers and with sympathetic noise
To avoid the tender, terrifying, solitary joys
Yeah, I'm afraid of the echo at the bottom of the well
The stories that the silence has to tell.

Maybe one day I'll make peace with this empty, waiting room
Learn to love the quiet, and not assume it's my tomb
Maybe the stranger in the silence is someone I should meet
Find a kind of courage in a slow and steady beat...
But for now, I'll just keep moving, a shadow on the street
Terrified of the moment when my own heart skips a beat.

Terrified of the company I keep...
The company I keep...
