Knee High
Navigating Life's Currents: Knee High by Anchor & Bear Unveiled
Lyrics
Everybody's talking at me
Expressing the overwhelming sensation of being surrounded by various opinions and advice.
What I could do
Reflecting on potential actions or choices.
What I should do
Considering societal or external expectations of what one should do.
What I won't do
Acknowledging personal boundaries and decisions not to engage in certain actions.
Words are fleeting in the moment
Highlighting the transient nature of spoken words.
But they'll burn you and they'll keep you for a lifetime
Warning about the lasting impact of words, emphasizing their potential to harm or endure.
I've never relaxed for a day in my life
Expressing a constant state of alertness or lack of relaxation in life.
Time is moving fast
Commenting on the swift passage of time.
Where is the time?
Pondering the elusive nature of time and its whereabouts.
And you say hang on hang on
Quoting advice or encouragement to persevere.
You try and tell me hang on hang on
Repetition of encouragement to endure challenges.
The words you sell me hang on hang on
Referring to persuasive or motivating words from others.
Won't you tell me when the water gets knee high?
Pleading for guidance or warning in challenging situations.
Everybody's looking at me
Feeling scrutinized by others.
What I could be
Contemplating one's potential or aspirations.
What I should be
Considering societal or external expectations of what one should be.
What I will be
Acknowledging personal growth and future potential.
But I'm pealing back a new day dawning
Describing the emergence of a new day with opportunities.
Like a sisyphus grabbed his rock and crashed it to the ground
Drawing a parallel to the myth of Sisyphus, symbolizing futile efforts and challenges.
I've never relaxed for a day in my life
Reiterating a lack of relaxation in life.
Time is moving fast
Reinforcing the concept of time passing swiftly.
Where is the time?
Pondering the elusive nature of time and its whereabouts (repeated from line 9).
And you say hang on hang on
Quoting advice or encouragement to persevere (repeated from line 10).
You try and tell me hang on hang on
Repetition of encouragement to endure challenges (repeated from line 11).
The words you sell me hang on hang on
Referring to persuasive or motivating words from others (repeated from line 12).
Won't you tell me when the water gets knee high?

Over taxed and losing all my breathe
Describing a state of exhaustion and anxiety due to excessive demands.
For the fear that there is nothing left
Expressing fear of depletion or emptiness.
Over taxed and losing all my breathe
Repetition of a sense of exhaustion and fear of nothing remaining.
How come nothing ever ends the way you want it to end?
Questioning the disparity between desired and actual outcomes.
So hang on hang on
Repetition of advice or encouragement to persevere (repeated from lines 10 and 23).
You try and tell me hang on hang on
Repetition of encouragement to endure challenges (repeated from lines 11 and 24).
The words you sell me hang on hang on
Repetition of persuasive or motivating words from others (repeated from lines 12 and 25).
Won't you tell me when the water gets knee high?

Reiterating the plea for information on when challenges become overwhelming.
