Watch Me Drown
Silent Suffering: Echoes of Isolation in 'Watch Me Drown'
Lyrics
I don’t know where to start
I am uncertain about where to begin.
There’s so much running through my head
My mind is filled with numerous thoughts and concerns.
The noise is after me
I feel pursued by disturbances or chaos.
It’s still consuming me with dread
This disturbance continues to overwhelm me with fear.
I don’t know where to run
I am unsure of a safe escape route.
All the bridges are burnt down
All connections or opportunities have been destroyed or severed.
And this is happening
This undesirable situation is unfolding.
And I got no one else around
I am alone without anyone else nearby.
To hear me scream
No one is available to listen to my distress.
Or watch me drown
Expressing the desire for someone to witness my struggle or downfall.
Mmm
Expression of emotional distress or contemplation.
Mmm
Expression of emotional distress or contemplation (repeated).
I don’t know where to go
I lack direction or purpose.
I’m not welcome anywhere
I feel unwelcome in all places I have previously visited.
That I’ve been before
Previous locations elicit only indifferent or vacant responses.
All I get is empty stares
I receive no meaningful engagement, only stares of emptiness.
I don’t know where to hide
I cannot find a place to conceal myself.
I face judgement everywhere
I encounter criticism or disapproval everywhere.
And it’s still happening
This negative experience persists.
Even when no one else is there
Even in the absence of others, the unfavorable situation continues.
Who’ll hear me scream?
Searching for someone to hear my cries of distress.
Or watch me drown?
Expressing the desire for someone to witness my drowning metaphorically.
Mmm
Expression of emotional distress or contemplation (repeated).
Mmm
-Mmm
