Sinking Feeling
Navigating Depths: Embracing the Sinking Feeling
Lyrics
sinking feeling
The sensation of sinking emotionally or mentally.
By Anna Duboc and Juan Ariza
Credits the song to Anna Duboc and Juan Ariza.
Put my heart in a jar and sail it across the sea
Symbolically storing feelings away and trying to distance oneself from them by sending them away.
But no matter how far you just keep pulling me
Despite attempts to distance oneself, the emotions or a person keeps drawing the singer back.
Started working on myself, Anything to fix my health
Beginning a journey of self-improvement, likely related to physical or mental health.
But pain is now a part of me
The pain has become ingrained within the singer's being despite efforts to improve.
Keep me around for the fun of it
Being kept around for someone's enjoyment without genuine care.
Toss me around who gives a shit (ah)
Treated casually or with disregard, used without concern for feelings.
Keep coming back just like the waves
A pattern of returning despite knowing it won't last.
You'll be gone in a matter of days (ah)
The fleeting nature of the other person's presence in the singer's life.
Its that sinking feeling that i'm about to drown
Feeling like drowning in emotions, overwhelmed.
I almost touch the water when i think about it now
The intensity of the feeling when reflecting on it.
Maybe if I ride the tide I'll let myself reach down
Hoping to let emotions out or deal with them by going along with the flow.
The only way to let go is to crash into the sound
The only way to release or cope with emotions is to confront them head-on.
Maybe it's better if i let myself sink down
Considering that surrendering to emotions might be the best option.
Put my parts in a box Take them and set me free
Symbolically distancing oneself from emotions or past experiences.
started working on my health
Continuing efforts toward personal improvement.
Anything to say farewell
Expressing a desire to bid farewell to old fragments or aspects of oneself.
to the fragments that i used to be
Letting go of past versions or components of oneself.
Keep me around for the fun of it
Similar to line 9, feeling used or kept around without genuine care.
Toss me around who gives a shit (ah)
Reiteration of being treated casually or with disregard.
Keep coming back just like the waves
Repeating the cycle of returning despite knowing it won't last.
You'll be gone in a matter of days (ah)
Reaffirmation of the transient nature of the other person's presence.
Its that sinking feeling that i'm about to drown
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by emotions.
I almost touch the water when i think about it now
Reflecting on the intensity of emotions when revisited.
Maybe if I ride the tide I'll let myself reach down
Hoping to deal with emotions by going along with them or their natural course.
The only way to let go is to crash into the sound
The only way to release or cope with emotions is to confront them head-on.
Maybe it's better if i let myself sink down
Considering surrendering to overwhelming emotions as a solution.
