Pin Cushion
Unveiling Silent Pain: Caitlin Cannon's Pin Cushion Story
Lyrics
I know by the way
I can perceive your emotional state
You're not saying anything
You're choosing not to communicate verbally
You're in a world of pain
You are experiencing significant emotional distress
Go home and politely
Return home and calmly
Turn off the light
Switch off the light
You can blame it on migraine
You may attribute it to a severe headache
But I can tell you're mad as hell
Despite your explanation, it's evident you're extremely angry
I just want to shake you
I simply want to shake you emotionally
I just wanna wake you up
I just want to bring you to consciousness
I want you to yell at me
I desire you to express anger towards me
From the the top of your lungs
Express your anger loudly and forcefully
I'd take a little violence
I would prefer a bit of aggression over complete silence
Over radio silence
Implies a preference for conflict over lack of communication
But I'm pushin'
Emphasizing the pressure on a metaphorical "pincushion"
On a pincushion
Metaphorically, feeling overwhelmed or pressured
I can tell as you rest
Observing your posture as you relax
Your arms folded on your chest
Your arms are crossed, indicating defensiveness
You're trying hard to hide
You're making an effort to conceal your true feelings
You wanna scream and shout
You have an urge to express frustration and anger
You won't let it out
You're holding back from expressing your emotions
You'd rather keep it all inside
Prefer to internalize emotions rather than vocalize them
And that's the way that cancers made
Referencing the nature of cancer, possibly suggesting emotional suppression
You're getting beat down all the time
Constantly feeling defeated or emotionally worn down
Because you're wearing a kick me sign
Attributing difficulties to projecting a vulnerability that attracts negativity
