Deathbed
Eternal Tether: Embracing Love and Loss in Austin Ryan's 'Deathbed'
Lyrics
Wonder how we start all over
Contemplating how to restart or begin anew.
I won't be quick to jump the gun
Not rushing to make hasty decisions or assumptions.
Running around with all my emotions
Engaging in activities with intense feelings and sentiments.
Want me to be honest with you?
Asking if honesty is desired or appreciated.
I could've said the same
Expressing the ability to reciprocate a similar statement.
Don't wanna wait under these bridges we've burned grey
Reluctance to linger in the aftermath of damaged relationships.
Hold me close
Seeking physical closeness.
tell me are you listening
Inquiring if there is attentive listening.
I feel so low
Feeling emotionally down.
The floor and ceilings closing in
Sensation of confinement and pressure from surroundings.
On final notice
Signifying a critical and final moment.
Put all of my focus in you
Concentrating all attention and effort on someone.
You let it all slip away
Regret for allowing everything to slip away.
Got nothing to lose
Having nothing left to risk or forfeit.
Will this still feel like this forever
Questioning the enduring nature of the current feelings.
Maybe we're just tethered
Contemplating a lasting connection or bond.
When I still feel you all around me
Sensing the presence of someone even in difficult times.
Broken heart that you once needed
Referring to a broken heart that was once essential.
Always undefeated
Emphasizing persistent strength and resilience.
In your deathbed right here's where I'll be
Expressing commitment to be with someone until the end.
I see the switch up lately
Observing recent changes in behavior.
Should I go back in time
Contemplating revisiting the past.
Warm chase of freedoms burning out right before my eyes
Describing the fading of liberating pursuits.
Nothing to make this easy
Acknowledging the absence of simplicity.
When you're still in control
Noting that control is still retained.
Slow to sacrifice
Being cautious about making sacrifices.
Quick to not apply
Readiness to avoid applying oneself hastily.
I can't let go
Feeling unable to release or detach.
Don't you miss when it calmed me down
Longing for the calming effect of the past.
Did the highs run out?
Questioning if the positive experiences have depleted.
Just a quick dose
Describing a brief and routine escape.
Til it was ordinary
Until the extraordinary becomes ordinary.
Disguising all the lonely sounds
Concealing loneliness behind a facade.
Take your final bow
Symbolic acknowledgment of a final act or moment.
When in my head
Referencing a persistent mental image.
We're still alive baby
Perceiving continued existence mentally.
Will this still feel like this forever
Reiterating the uncertainty of enduring feelings.
Maybe we're just tethered
Considering the possibility of being interconnected.
When I still feel you all around me
Feeling the presence of someone even in challenging times.
Broken heart that you once needed
Referring to a once necessary heartbreak.
Always undefeated
Emphasizing persistent strength and resilience.
In your deathbed right here's where I'll be
Declaring commitment to be present until the end.
