Atlas
Atlas: A Poignant Tale of Burden and Support
Lyrics
I know I'm not always deserving
I acknowledge that I may not always be worthy.
Of all the trust you wish to give
Recognizing the trust given and feeling uncertain if deserving.
And though I've tried to be your haven
Despite efforts, creating a sense of safety for you has challenges.
It's hard to know where to begin
Expressing difficulty in understanding where to start.
If your skies are getting hazy
Wondering if difficult times will improve.
Will this desert see some rain
Questioning if relief will come to emotional desolation.
Those clouds are looking heavy
Noticing the burden of emotions through symbolic heavy clouds.
I know you've filled them with your pain
Acknowledging the emotional weight you carry.
Atlas, oh
Addressing someone as "Atlas," symbolizing a burden-bearer.
Atlas, Where have you been
Asking about the whereabouts of the burden-bearer.
You lost me somewhere in the mountains
Feeling lost in the challenges represented by mountains.
With the weight you're carrying
Highlighting the heaviness of the emotional burden carried.
Atlas, oh
Repeating the term "Atlas" and questioning when awareness will come.
Atlas, When will you see
Asking when the burden-bearer will realize they are not alone.
You don't have to hold the sky alone
Emphasizing the offer of support, suggesting sharing the burden.
You can hand it off to me
Encouraging the idea of passing the burden to the speaker.
I never know what you are thinking
Expressing difficulty in understanding someone's thoughts.
Because you never speak your mind
Noting a lack of verbal communication, making understanding challenging.
How am I supposed to understand
Expressing frustration due to a lack of time and communication.
When you won't give me the time
Highlighting the challenge of understanding without proper communication.
You say you feel this all so deeply
Acknowledging deep emotional connection and the accompanying price.
And that it's the price you pay
Expressing hope that the emotional burden will be taken away.
If the gods could hear you weeping
Addressing a divine presence and the possibility of relief.
I hope they take this all away
Expressing a desire for a release from emotional pain.
Atlas, oh
Reiterating the term "Atlas" and questioning their whereabouts.
Atlas, Where have you been
Expressing a sense of being lost in the challenges represented by mountains.
You lost me somewhere in the mountains
Highlighting the heaviness of the emotional burden carried.
With the weight you're carrying
Repeating the term "Atlas" and questioning when awareness will come.
Atlas, oh
Asking when the burden-bearer will realize they are not alone.
Atlas, When will you see
Emphasizing the offer of support, suggesting sharing the burden.
You don't have to hold the sky alone
Encouraging the idea of passing the burden to the speaker.
You can hand it off to me
Repeating the encouragement to share the burden.
Hand it off to me
-Hand it off to me
-Atlas, oh
Reiterating the question of when the burden-bearer will realize they are not alone.
Atlas, When will you see
Repeating the encouragement to share the burden.
You don't have to hold the sky alone
Emphasizing the offer of support, suggesting sharing the burden.
You don't have to hold the sky alone
Reiterating the idea that the burden doesn't have to be carried alone.
You can hand it off to me
Encouraging the idea of passing the burden to the speaker.
