From What I Understand
Unraveling Emotions: Anthony Green's Poetic Journey in 'From What I Understand'
Lyrics
Release my arrow, but I forgot to aim
Feeling directionless, attempting an action without a clear purpose or goal.
It burdens me to think, that I'll never get to start
Feeling weighed down by the thought that there may never be a new beginning.
Deciphering the words, from what I understand
Trying to understand the meaning behind spoken words or situations.
Don't come down on me
Requesting not to be judged or criticized.
I didn't want this
Expressing a lack of desire for the current situation.
It's a disaster
Describing the situation as a disaster, possibly chaotic or distressing.
Please don't think of me
Asking not to be perceived as someone holding others captive.
Like I'm your captor,
Expressing a plea not to be seen as controlling or dominating.
What are you after
Pondering the motivations or intentions of others.
You drink yourself to sleep And wake up in a daze
Describing a coping mechanism of drinking oneself to sleep and waking up disoriented.
The past is there to show, what would I ever want
Reflecting on the past as a guide for one's desires or choices.
Divided and away from what I understand
Feeling separated or distant from comprehension or understanding.
Don't pretend with me
Urging others not to pretend or act falsely.
Like your an actor,
Comparing someone's behavior to that of an actor, possibly insincere or staged.
It's a disaster
Describing the current state of affairs as disastrous or chaotic.
Please don't think of me
Requesting not to be blamed for the unwanted situation.
I didn't want this,
Reiterating the lack of desire for the present circumstances.
What are you after
Questioning the motives or objectives of others.
The way that it works when I see the end and I couldn't comprehend,
Describing confusion and inability to comprehend when foreseeing the end.
You ask me to go without me your free, but I couldn't let it be
Refusing a request to go, indicating a reluctance to let go.
The way that it works when I see the end and I couldn't comprehend,

You ask me to go without me your free, but I couldn't let it be

I wont put it past her, it's a disaster
