Concrete Walls
Navigating Love's Concrete Walls: Cassidy King's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I don’t know why, why these words seem so different
The speaker is uncertain about why certain words feel different to express.
Why i love you’s were a little easier to say before
Expressing that saying "I love you" was easier in the past compared to now.
I know you tried, but since my world started shifting
Acknowledging the effort made by the other person, but the speaker's world has changed, affecting their connection.
I just let the distance between us grow
The speaker has allowed a distance to grow between them and the other person.
I won’t pull you under, I can’t tear you down
Assuring that the speaker won't drag the other person down or criticize them.
Your cracks will grow and one day, I’ll come pouring out
Recognizing that flaws will become more apparent over time, leading to emotional release.
I’m not ready to love you, I’m not who I wanna be
The speaker is not ready to fully embrace love due to personal reasons and self-perception.
I’m not ready to be her yet, no
Expressing a lack of readiness to become the person the other desires.
I’m crashing into you, you’re holding my weight with your concrete walls
Describing a collision with the other person and relying on their emotional strength represented by "concrete walls."
You’ll batter, you’ll break, you’ll bruise, you’ll drown in my waves, in my undertow
Portraying the impact of the speaker's struggles on the other person, causing potential harm.
I don’t know when, but the pain that I’m hiding, and the stains it left will one day start to show
Anticipating that hidden pain and its effects will eventually become visible.
And where I’ve been, I burry shame deep inside me, and I can’t always hide it, I let it grow
Acknowledging a history of burying shame but admitting that it cannot always be concealed.
I will pull you under, I can tear you down
Contrasting with line 6, expressing the speaker's potential to negatively influence the other person.
My cracks will grow and one day, you’ll come pouring out
Similar to line 7, anticipating emotional release and vulnerability from the speaker.
I know you’re ready to love me, you are who you wanna be
Recognizing the other person's readiness to love the speaker for who they are.
I’m not ready to see her yet, no
Reiterating the speaker's unreadiness to become the person desired by the other.
I’m crashing into you, you’re holding my weight with your concrete walls
Repeating the collision imagery, highlighting the emotional support provided by the other person's "concrete walls."
You’ll batter, you’ll break, you’ll bruise, you’ll drown in my waves, in my undertow
Reiterating potential harm and struggle faced by the other person due to the speaker's issues.
I’m crashing into you, you’re holding my weight with your concrete walls
Repeating the collision imagery, emphasizing the reliance on the other person's emotional strength.
You’ll batter, you’ll break, you’ll bruise, you’ll drown in my waves, in my undertow
Reiterating potential harm and struggle faced by the other person due to the speaker's issues.
