Shower With My Clothes On

**Producer(s)** | Clampitt, Ryan, Afterhrs

**Shower With My Clothes On** is a song by Ashe and is the fourth track on her album *Rae*.

It has a moody, dark feel with dramatic guitars and a musical surge, alongside some beautiful if melancholic melodies with a dynamic delivery.

It contains explicit lyrics.

## Background

Described as a song that "delves into heartbreak with a marked frankness" of "[dealing] with anxiety in the aftermath of a relationship". It "[zeroes] in on the emotional griefs of relationships and heartbreak" alongside other *Rae* tracks. *Chimes Newspaper* opines its title is "psychedelic Floyd-inspired".

## Meaning

The song discusses the post-breakup limbo disassociation with life, teasing the feeling of life moving on without consciousness for its authenticity. It deals with the anxiety and turmoil in the immediate aftermath of an relationship ending. "It’s about remembering those last few moments in a relationship when you’re hopelessly hanging on but know you have to let go" says Ashe.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Would you do it?

Sell your soul

Turn fifteen into sixteen little minutes of more time

'Til you forget you're alive

[Verse 2]

Would you take it all back?

Now that privacy's a luxury you can't afford to have again

If you want any friends

[Pre-Chorus]

Wish that something made sense

Wish I wasn't a mess

[Chorus]

I don't know how to feel

I'm out of my mind

All the color's out of my face

Runnin' out of highway

I don't know how to feel

I think I could die

I've been missing you for so long

Listening to our song

In the shower with my clothes on

[Verse 3]

I keep feelin' the world spin

I'm a fallen leaf in April in the Santa Ana winds

California's a bitch

[Pre-Chorus]

Wish I wasn't afraid

Wish I wasn't this way

[Chorus]

I don't know how to feel

I'm out of my mind

All the color's out of my face

Runnin' out of highway

I don't know how to feel

I think I could die

I've been missing you for so long

Listening to our song

In the shower with my clothes on

[Bridge]

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]

I don't know how to feel

I'm out of my mind (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

All the color's out of my face

Runnin' out of highway (Ooh-ooh)

I don't know how to feel (Ooh-ooh)

I think I could die (Ooh-ooh)

I've been missing you for so long (Ooh-ooh)

Listening to our song

[Outro]

I've been missing you for so long

Listеning to our song

In the shower with my clothes on
