Drowning
Embrace the Depths: Armen Paul's Drowning, a Cry for Liberation
Lyrics
Did the colors all fade?
Questioning if the vibrancy and liveliness have disappeared.
Is your mind, getting further away?
Wondering if your thoughts are becoming more distant.
See the signs written over your face
Observing signs of distress or difficulty in your expression.
Pull your head a-bove the water
Encouragement to lift your head above the challenges.
Do you feel like a stranger?
Asking if you feel disconnected or unfamiliar.
Shut me out, does hidin' feel safer?
Noticing a tendency to isolate oneself for a sense of safety.
Keep it locked in your pen and your paper
Suggesting the use of writing as an outlet for emotions.
You’ve been fightin' in the silence
Recognizing a struggle endured in silence.
You been feelin' like a ghost lately
Feeling emotionally detached and invisible recently.
Your spirit’s screamin' out, "Save me"
Expressing a desperate call for help from within.
And the gravity is frozen
Describing a feeling of being stuck, unmoving.
I can be your ocean
Offering support and comfort, symbolized as an "ocean."
Call me if you feel like drownin'
Inviting a call for assistance if drowning in troubles.
When you see the world just wash away
Noting the overwhelming destruction of the world.
When the thinnest thread is about to break
Highlighting a delicate situation about to collapse.
When you feel the weight, and you start to sink
Describing the burden that leads to sinking.
When you, when you, when you, break
Repetition emphasizing the breaking point.
When you, when you, when you, break
-When you, when you, when you, break
-Call me if you feel like drowning
Reiterating the call for help when overwhelmed.
When you're running in place
Stagnation and running in place metaphorically.
When you’re hidin' the pain
Concealing emotional pain.
When you’re losing your faith
Experiencing a loss of faith.
I can help you escape
Offering assistance in escaping from distress.
When your body’s in knots
Physical and mental tension manifesting as knots.
Your repetitive thoughts
Repetitive negative thoughts becoming louder.
Are louder than they’ve ever been
Intensity of thoughts reaching an extreme level.
You been feelin' like a ghost lately
Repeating the feeling of being a ghost or unnoticed.
Your spirit’s screaming out, "Save me"
Echoing the desperate call for salvation.
And the gravity is frozen
Reinforcing the feeling of being frozen in despair.
I can be your ocean
Reiterating the support as an expansive and comforting force.
Call me if you feel like drownin'
Repeating the call for help when overwhelmed.
When you see the world just wash away
Witnessing the destruction of the world.
When the thinnest thread is about to break
Highlighting the fragility of a critical situation.
When you feel the weight, and you start to sink
Describing the weight that leads to sinking.
When you, when you, when you, break
Repetition emphasizing the breaking point.
When you, when you, when you, break
-When you, when you, when you, break
-Call me if you feel like drownin'
Reiterating the call for help when overwhelmed.
(Ah-ooo)
Howling sounds representing a cry before breaking.
(Ah-ooo)
-(Ah-ooo)
-(Ah-ooo)
-(Ah-ooo)
-(Ah-ooo)
-Before you break
Encouragement to seek help before reaching the breaking point.
Call me if you feel like drownin'
Repeating the call for assistance.
(When you feel like drownin')
Emphasizing the feeling of drowning.
When you see the world just wash away
Reiterating the destruction of the world.
(Wash away)
Emphasizing the washing away of everything.
When the thinnest thread is about to break
Stressing the imminent collapse of a delicate situation.
(About to break)
Describing the weight leading to sinking.
When you feel the weight, and you start to sink
Repetition emphasizing the breaking point.
When you, when you, when you, break
-When you, when you, when you, break
-When you, when you, when you, break
-Call me if you feel like drownin'
Final call for help when overwhelmed.
