Suffocating
Love's Chokehold: Blake Shelton's Suffocating Embrace
Lyrics
Pain is growing like a vine stranglin' my heart
Pain is intensifying and spreading like a vine, constricting my heart.
When I think the worst is over, that's right when it starts
Even when I believe the worst is over, the pain resurfaces.
Someone says your name, sometimes I don't feel a thing
Hearing your name may not always evoke emotions, but sometimes I feel nothing.
But then there's days like today, whoa, that are suffocating
There are days, like today, where the pain becomes overwhelming and suffocating.
When I think it's dead and gone
Despite thinking the pain has vanished, it resurfaces, especially during difficult moments.
Then it starts to rain, oh, and it grows again
The pain returns unexpectedly, similar to how it grows again after rain.
I find myself out in your driveway
Visiting your place, I find myself emotionally stuck and unable to move forward.
My hands are frozen on the wheel
My hands are frozen on the wheel, symbolizing emotional paralysis.
And I can feel your love still suffocating
Despite the passage of time, I still feel the weight of your love suffocating me.
The memory of what used to be cuts me like a thorn
The memories of what once was are painful, cutting deep like a thorn.
Loneliness starts rollin' in like thunder from the storm
Loneliness sets in like thunder, a metaphor for the emotional storm.
My strength starts to sway, I feel the winds of change
My strength falters, and I sense the inevitability of change.
It's such a paralyzing place, oh, and it's suffocating
Being in this emotional state feels paralyzing and suffocating.
When I think it's dead and gone
Despite thinking the pain is gone, it returns, much like rain restarting the growth of a vine.
Then it starts to rain, oh, and it grows again
The emotional resurgence is compared to the rekindling of growth after rain.
I find myself out in your driveway
Returning to your place emotionally, I find myself stuck in the past.
My hands are frozen on the wheel
Emotionally frozen, I can't move forward, and the suffocating feeling persists.
And I can feel your love still suffocating
The lingering effects of your love continue to suffocate me.
Let the rain wash it all away
The hope is expressed that rain will wash away the emotional burden.
Can't you love me another day?
A plea is made for love to be extended for another day, seeking a reprieve from the suffocation.
I curse myself
Self-blame is expressed for the lack of change in the emotional situation.
Cause nothin's changed, nothin's changed
Despite the passage of time, nothing has changed in the emotional landscape.
When I think it's dead and gone
Even when I believe the pain has subsided, it returns, akin to rain restarting growth.
Then it starts to rain, oh, and it grows again
The cyclic nature of emotional pain is reiterated, comparing it to the recurrence after rain.
I find myself out in your driveway
Returning to your place emotionally, I find myself stuck in the past.
My hands are frozen on the wheel
Emotionally frozen, I can't move forward, and the suffocating feeling persists.
And I can feel your love still
The lingering effects of your love continue to suffocate me.
Suffocating
The overwhelming feeling of suffocation persists in the face of emotional struggles.
