Lower The Line
Embracing Tragedy: Unveiling the Storm in 'Lower The Line'
Lyrics
Stormy summer day is in the way
Reference to a turbulent summer day that symbolizes challenges ahead.
Of all the could've beens and should've beens
Reflecting on missed opportunities and unrealized potentials.
How do you anticipate
Raising a question about how to foresee or expect a tragic event.
This distorted tragedy
Describing a calamity that is distorted or warped in nature.
Things like this don't just go away
Expressing the persistence of impactful events that linger.
Things like this tear your family
Highlighting the destructive impact of such events on family bonds.
And I admit I can't relate
Acknowledging a lack of personal understanding or connection to the situation.
Believe me I won't walk away
Committing to staying and facing the challenges rather than abandoning.
'Cause when the circumstance holds you back
Facing obstacles and deciding to confront them head-on.
Lower the line
Encouraging resilience and determination to overcome difficulties.
Harness, focus
Advising to focus and control one's actions or emotions.
Your broken vessel
Referring to a person's damaged self, urging to mend and recover.
When you paint that picture
When you create a vivid image or scenario, possibly related to coping mechanisms.
When you're all shook up
When you're emotionally shaken or disturbed.
Harness, focus
Reiterating the importance of focus and control in difficult situations.
'Cause you know it won't die in your sleep
Asserting that the challenge won't resolve itself passively.
You finally said it out loud
The acknowledgment of expressing a difficult truth openly.
Stormy summer day is in the way
Repeating the imagery of a troubled summer day and its hindrance.
Of all the could've beens and should've beens
Reiterating missed opportunities and potential regrets.
How do you anticipate
Posing the same question about anticipating tragedy in a distorted form.
This distorted tragedy
Repeating the idea of a distorted and tragic event.
Maybe you're not dead
Suggesting the possibility of survival despite the grim circumstances.
Though this could be the end of your world
Acknowledging the potential end of the familiar world.
But this door isn't sealed
Indicating that there's still a chance or opportunity despite difficulties.
The black hole might tear if you fight
Metaphorically addressing the resilience needed to overcome challenges.
And I'ma be around until you see the light of day
Committing to support and be present until a positive outcome is reached.
I can see your pain
Empathizing with the pain someone is going through.
I don't see you shaded in a different light.
Assuring that the person is seen and not judged negatively.
