Indie-alternative singer-songwriter and producer sombr bares his nerves on “My Body Isn’t Ready,” a slow-building single about wanting change but not feeling able to carry it.
The song is about the gap between the mind and the body. He wants to accept love, growth, or a new chapter, yet he feels physically unprepared for the weight that comes with it. His words read like a diary, honest about anxiety, exhaustion, and fear of failure.
The track opens almost alone, with a soft, echoing acoustic guitar and hushed, dark keys beneath a whispered vocal. Then heavy, cinematic drum thuds and a fuzzy, brooding bassline slowly enter, pushing the song toward a huge wall-of-sound rock finish.
If you have ever felt too tired for what is coming, “My Body Isn’t Ready” will feel painfully familiar. Play it on a quiet night, or when you need a song that says what you cannot.
sombr - My Body Isn’t Ready Lyrics
My friends wanna catch the tide
How I wanna go, but I’ll stay home
Wish you could stay the night
But I am scared of the light
I don’t want you to go (oh-oh-oh)
I like you but my body isn’t ready
I want you but the mirror won’t let me
I try to be the person you’re expecting
But I’m not ready, I’m not ready
And now I’m out of school
And I met someone knew
Does she just like me for the things I do
Now I’ve got nothing to prove
But my mind still goes back to you
And being young and having nothing to lose
I like you but my body isn’t ready
I want you but the mirror won’t let me
I try to be the person you’re expecting
But I’m not ready, I’m not ready
If I could crawl out of my own skin would you let me in?
If we could just be those kids again, maybe I could swim
I like you but my body isn’t ready
I want you but the mirror won’t let me
I try to be the person you’re expecting
But I’m not ready, I’m not ready
I like you but my body isn’t ready
I want you but the mirror won’t let me
I try to be the person you’re expecting
But I’m not ready, I’m not ready
