You're sitting down on your butt

don't you look seedy

Non riesco a rendere bene queste ultime due frasine, chi mi da una mano? Grazie mille

Explanation:
A me sembra piuttosto da quel poco che si evince dal contesto che intenda "non dare l'idea di essere giù di corda". E' un'ipotesi comunque, dipende dal contesto fondamentalmente. postaci qualcosa in più

Stai andando fuori di testa, guardati, hai un aspetto orribile.


Explanation:
se e' il testo di una canzone, non credo che la parola "sciatto" sia molto appropriata, per seedy.
