Floods
Navigating Depths: Unveiling the Metaphor in Cruel Cruel's 'Floods'
Lyrics
Are we meant to drown?
Contemplating the possibility of succumbing to a challenging situation or emotion.
I can’t make a sound
Feeling emotionally restrained or unable to express oneself audibly.
And will the water make my body new?
Questioning whether immersion in difficulties will bring about personal transformation.
The floods start with you
Suggesting that the commencement of overwhelming emotions or challenges originates from a specific person ("you").
Take me through
Repetition emphasizing the plea to guide through difficulties or emotions.
Take me through
-Are we meant to drown?
Reiteration of the questioning about the inevitability of being overwhelmed.
I don’t feel you around
Feeling a lack of emotional connection or support.
And will the water wipe away your face too?
Questioning if difficulties will erase the presence or impact of the person addressed.
The floods start with you
Reaffirming that the onset of overwhelming experiences is linked to the same person ("you").
Take me through
Persistent plea for guidance, possibly suggesting the intensity or duration of emotional turmoil.
Take me through
-Take me through
-Take me through
-Take me through
-Take me through
Final repetition of the request for assistance or guidance through challenging circumstances.
Take me through
