When the Flood Comes
Navigating Life's Deluge: Blake Shimoda's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
When the flood comes rushing in
Anticipation of a significant and overwhelming event, likened to a flood.
And it carries you away
Being carried away or overwhelmed by the force of the impending event.
When you've lost your appetite
Loss of interest in daily life or experiences.
But you tell them you're okay
Pretending to be fine despite inner struggles.
When the hand that strokes your head
A conflicting situation where comfort and harm come from the same source.
Is the one that twists the knife
A sense of betrayal from someone who is supposed to care.
When it all comes crashing down
A moment of complete collapse or failure.
When it finally comes to light
The revelation or acknowledgment of a hidden truth.
Ooo I'm coming home
An expression of returning to a place of comfort or familiarity.
And when you get left behind
Feeling abandoned or left behind while the world progresses.
While the world keeps moving on
The world moving forward despite personal stagnation.
When you haven't stepped outside
Isolation and avoidance of external experiences.
In god who knows how long?
Uncertain duration of withdrawal from social interactions.
Ooo I'm coming home
A repeated desire or affirmation of returning to a place of emotional refuge.
Ooo I'm coming home
Reiteration of the longing to come back to a place of comfort.
When she ruins you just right
Destructive impact on oneself that oddly feels reminiscent of youth.
That it reminds you of your youth
A painful experience that triggers memories of one's younger days.
Did it happen once before?
Questioning if a similar negative event occurred in the past.
Is it happening again?
Uncertainty about the repetition of a negative experience.
Is it happening again?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the uncertainty of recurrence.
Is it happening again?
Continued uncertainty, expressing a sense of anxiety or fear.
Is it happening again?
Persisting doubt about the reappearance of a distressing situation.
Is it happening again?
Ongoing concern or fear regarding the possible repetition of events.
Is it happening again?
Final repetition, emphasizing the persistent anxiety about a recurring situation.
