underfoot
Lost Expressions: Words Trampled, Meanings Adrift
Lyrics
Everybody's waiting
Anticipation and expectation are building among people.
At a loss of words
People are unable to find suitable words to express their feelings.
They're Not sure what to say
There is uncertainty about what should be said in the given situation.
Every one Contemplating
Everyone is deep in thought, anxiously awaiting an event.
Held with baited breath
People are holding their breath in anticipation.
Their chests compressed
There is a sense of pressure or tension in their chests.
The words rush out
Words are spoken rapidly and forcefully.
Stampeding through the aisle
Words are flowing through a space, potentially a gathering.
Trampled underfoot

Never understood

Caught up in the undertow

Smothered mouths release a shout

Heard for miles
