About 10-20-40

“10-20-40” is the third track on Japanese-British singer Rina Sawayama’s debut EP RINA. The lyrics offer an insight into Sawayama’s experiences with depression and taking SSRIs, delivered through car-related metaphors. Rina said of the song’s imagery surrounding cars: "The metaphor is about teetering on the edge, but also the romance of driving… And the romance of taking Citalopram or being depressed in the media, when actually it’s so mundane. It’s a daily chore." .

10-20-40 Lyrics

[00:15.12] Driving with no brakes on
[00:20.17] Waiting for your phone call
[00:24.62] Talking to myself
[00:26.56] Watching everybody else just
[00:29.80] Roll on by
[00:34.57] They think that I'm crazy (crazy)
[00:39.43] Not participating
[00:44.06] Think I don't understand
[00:46.36] What's another life out of seven billion?
[00:53.51] Wanted to feel you but I'm numb
[00:58.09] Don't even realize who I've become
[01:02.73] Little white pill keeps breaking and entering my body and mind
[01:14.23] 10, 20, 40, dumb
[01:16.37] Happy, sad, crazy, numb
[01:18.92] 10, 20, 40, dumb
[01:21.34] Happy, sad, crazy, numb
[01:23.94] Trying for no reason (reason)
[01:28.63] Giving up so easy
[01:33.59] Talking to myself
[01:35.49] Watching everybody else just
[01:38.59] Roll on by
[01:43.36] They think I'm amazing
[01:48.26] Oh-so fascinating
[01:52.83] See, they don't understand
[01:55.24] Don't know who I am
[01:57.24] But do I?
[02:02.08]
[02:04.40]
[02:14.13] The less you feel, the more you know
[02:18.57] A reason to leave me in a cruise control
[02:23.69] A little white pill to take me back
[02:26.80] I hope you understand, it's my last resort
[02:31.75] I've done it all
[02:33.90] Wanted to feel you but I'm numb
[02:38.47] Don't even realize who I've become
[02:43.36] Little white pill keeps breaking and entering my body and mind
[02:53.27] Wanted to feel you but I'm numb
[02:58.07] Don't even realize who I've become
[03:03.23] Little white pill keeps breaking and entering my body and mind
[03:09.30] 10, 20, 40, none
[03:11.53] Happy, sad, crazy, done
[03:13.88]
