Downpour
Downpour of Desperation: Austin Blaze's Cry for Change
Lyrics
I was lonely I was weak
I experienced loneliness and weakness.
Didn't help with my anxiety
My anxiety was not alleviated.
I've been blacked out every week
I frequently blacked out, possibly due to excessive drinking.
So I need you to set me free
I'm seeking freedom, and I need you to provide it.
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on
Expressing a sense of urgency about not living for an extended period.
Won't live that long, that long, that long
-You're the only one I would change for
You are the only person for whom I am willing to change.
Tears falling just some rain in the downpour
Tears are falling, symbolizing emotional distress in the downpour.
The drinks take away the pain
Alcohol is used to numb emotional pain.
Without them I feel so strange
Without drinks, I feel out of place or uncomfortable.
I'm falling into my grave
I feel like I'm spiraling into a negative situation or mindset.
I need you when I'm awake
I need you even in my waking moments.
Depression is in my brain
Depression is affecting my thoughts and emotions.
My life still remains the same
Despite attempts to change, my life remains unchanged.
I know if I had you babe
If I had you, it would give me a reason to change.
I'd have my reason to change
-Drinking till I'm wasted
Excessive drinking until reaching a state of waste.
Breathe in and out yeah I'm hyperventilating
Hyperventilating, possibly indicating intense emotional turmoil.
All these drinks I'm taking
The struggle to resist the temptation of alcohol.
Telling me I'll stop
-But I know I'll always cave in
-Hold on, Hold on, Hold on
Reiteration of the urgency not to live for an extended period.
Won't live that long, that long, that long
-You're the only one I would change for
You remain the only catalyst for change in my life.
Tears falling just some rain in the downpour
Emotional pain is represented by tears in the downpour.
I was lonely I was weak
Repetition of feelings of loneliness, weakness, and dependence on the other person.
Didn't help with my anxiety
-I've been blacked out every week
-So I need you to set me free
-Hold on, Hold on, Hold on
Reiteration of the urgency not to live for an extended period.
Won't live that long, that long, that long
-You're the only one I would change for
You are the only catalyst for change in my life.
Tears falling just some rain in the downpour
Emotional pain is represented by tears in the downpour.
Falling slowly, from the old me, I don't care
Describing a transition from the old self, not caring about the consequences.
Oh woah, Oh woah
Expression of emotional distress with "Oh woah."
No one knows me, I'm so lonely, I'm not scared
Feeling lonely, but not expressing fear.
I once had my cards right
Reflecting on a past where things were going well until someone disrupted it.
Till you messed up my whole life
-Emotions, I'm numb now
Emotionally numb, detached from feelings.
I know but this doesn't feel right
Recognizing that the current situation feels wrong.
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on
Reiteration of the urgency not to live for an extended period.
Won't live that long, that long, that long
-You're the only one I would change for
You are the only catalyst for change in my life.
Tears falling just some rain in the downpour
Emotional pain is represented by tears in the downpour.
I was lonely I was weak
Repetition of feelings of loneliness, weakness, and dependence on the other person.
Didn't help with my anxiety
-I've been blacked out every week
-So I need you to set me free
-Hold on, Hold on, Hold on
Reiteration of the urgency not to live for an extended period.
Won't live that long, that long, that long
-You're the only one I would change for
You remain the only catalyst for change in my life.
Tears falling just some rain in the downpour
Emotional pain is represented by tears in the downpour.
