Inside the Bubble
Navigating Love's Depths: Inside the Bubble by Anka Wolbert
Lyrics
I have to get a grip on my confidence
I need to regain control over my self-assurance
cause my lover is very proud
Because my partner takes pride in themselves
She treats me like a concubine
She treats me as if I'm a concubine (a mistress or lover)
but that's alright
But I accept it
Can you pretend we're in a submarine
Can we pretend we're in a confined space, like a submarine?
Keeping the oxygen inside
Preserving the essential, likened to keeping oxygen inside
Sailing in our crystal ship
Sailing in our secure, transparent vessel
I could tell you things I'd never tell
I could share secrets with you that I wouldn't share otherwise
I'd never tell
Repetition for emphasis on secrecy
I wonder what it would feel like
Contemplating the sensation of being the eyes of a shark, observing from within
to be the shark's eyes, looking inside
Imagining the view from inside the shark's eyes
But the glass never breaks
The barrier (glass) never shatters
and the bubble never bursts
The protective space (bubble) remains intact
Why- I don't know why
Pondering the reason for this stability
I've got to shape up my existence
Acknowledging the need to improve one's existence
Get in touch with what's around
Connecting with the surroundings is essential
You know I can't keep on resisting
Unable to keep resisting the urge to assimilate
to integrate
Emphasizing the importance of integration
I know I'm being unrealistic
Recognizing the impractical nature of thoughts
but then I think most people are
Suggesting that many people have unrealistic thoughts
Floating in this fourth dimension
Existing in the fourth dimension is keeping me alive
is keeping me alive
Highlighting the significance of navigating spacetime
I scratch the bubble from the inside
Trying to break free from constraints internally
I am the shark's eyes, looking outside
Assuming the perspective of the shark, looking outward
And the glass never cracks
The enclosure remains intact from the inside
And the bubble never bursts
The protective space endures
Why- I don't know why
Pondering the reason for this stability, repeated for emphasis
Why does it feel
Questioning why everything feels acceptable
it's all alright
Reiterating the feeling that everything is fine
Why do I feel
Questioning why the sense of well-being persists
it's all alright
Reiterating the persistent feeling of well-being
There are no sharks tonight
No imminent threats or challenges tonight
So let us sail tonight
Suggesting a carefree journey tonight
It's all alright
Emphasizing that everything is fine
You've got to be so very special
Expressing the need for uniqueness to distinguish reality
to know what's real and what is not
Pondering the ability to decipher reality from illusion
Can we crack this code together
Exploring the possibility of breaking societal codes and restructuring
and re-arrange ourselves
Suggesting a joint effort to redefine oneself
Why does it feel
Questioning the persistent sense of well-being
it's all alright
Reiterating the feeling that everything is fine
Why do I feel
Questioning why the sense of well-being persists
it's all alright
Reiterating the persistent feeling of well-being
There are no sharks tonight
No imminent threats or challenges tonight
it's all alright
Emphasizing that everything is fine
So let us sail tonight
Suggesting a carefree journey tonight
it's all alright
Emphasizing that everything is fine
