On the Ground
Rising Above: Unveiling the Deeper Meaning in Beady Belle's 'On the Ground'
Lyrics
Sorry my Love I can't help you
Expressing inability to assist or support the person addressed.
You're stuck on that mountain I can't
Highlighting the person's predicament or challenges.
Sorry my dear I can't hear you
Acknowledging difficulty in hearing or understanding the person.
Your shouting is simply in vain
Stating that the person's loud expressions are ineffective.
You climbed up there yourself
Reminding the person of their independent actions in the past.
And didn't need us then
Indicating that support wasn't needed during the person's self-reliant period.
Now you lie on your shelf
Describing the person's current state of isolation or withdrawal.
Crying crying for a friend
Noting the person's emotional distress and desire for companionship.
But here on the ground we're happy
Contrasting the person's situation with the contentment of those on the ground.
Doing our everyday things
Emphasizing the normalcy and satisfaction of everyday activities.
Playing the games
Highlighting engagement in routine pastimes.
You hated my Love
Referencing a past disdainful attitude or dislike from the person addressed.
The games you rised above
Pointing out the person's avoidance of certain activities.
Sorry my Love I can't save you
Reiterating the inability to rescue or aid the person.
Air ribbons caused you to run
Mentioning an external factor, air ribbons, influencing the person's actions.
Sorry my Dear I won't fetch you
Declining to assist in overcoming the unpleasant internal experience.
That inside is nothing like fun
Conveying that the internal state is far from enjoyable or pleasurable.
You said we had nothing to teach you
Recalling the person's rejection of the possibility of learning from others.
Claimed it was time to move on
Asserting that it was the person's decision to move on from the current situation.
But your head got stucked in deep blue
Describing a state of being deeply involved or absorbed, possibly in sadness or regret.
You wanted it wanted all undone
Expressing the person's desire for a complete undoing of something.
But here on the ground, we're happy
Repeating the contrast between happiness on the ground and the person's struggles.
Doing our everyday things
Reiterating the satisfaction derived from routine activities.
Playing the games
Reemphasizing engagement in customary pastimes.
You hated my Love
Recalling the person's aversion to certain activities.
The games you rised above
Reminding of the person's refusal to participate in specific games.
Here on the ground we're happy
Affirming contentment and satisfaction in daily life on the ground.
