Lyrics
I remember knowing who I was, where I was going, and that life was fair
I once had a clear sense of identity, direction, and believed in the fairness of life.
I've been treading water and the fear of going under is too much to bear
Currently, I feel like I'm barely staying afloat, and the fear of sinking is overwhelming.
When fear is a weapon
Fear is being used as a weapon.
cnd love is crime
Love is treated as a crime.
Its getting hard to make it though the night
Struggling to endure the challenges of the night.
When nothing is normal
Nothing feels normal.
cnd beauty's a lie
Beauty is perceived as deceitful or false.
What's it like to be alright?
Questioning what it's like to be okay or content.
I think I'm sinking
Expressing a sense of sinking or descending into despair.
This ship is going down
Metaphorically, the speaker's life or situation is deteriorating.
Calling out for help but I don't make a sound
Calling for help, but feeling unheard or unnoticed.
Mayday mayday
Emergency distress call.
I think I've gone insane
Suggesting a feeling of losing sanity.
Drowning in this wake of this tidal wave
Feeling overwhelmed and drowning in a metaphorical tidal wave of problems.
What's the point of praying?
Raising questions about the effectiveness or purpose of prayer.
No one's hearing what I'm saying
Feeling unheard despite efforts to communicate.
cnd I'm out of breath
Experiencing breathlessness, perhaps metaphorically.
I'm bending close to breaking
Close to breaking down mentally or emotionally.
Sometimes I can't stop the shaking
Struggling to control physical and emotional shaking.
Is it over yet?
Questioning if the difficult situation has come to an end.
When fear is a weapon
Fear being used as a weapon, repeated theme.
cnd love is crime
Love being treated as a crime, repeated theme.
Its getting hard to make it though the night
Continuing to struggle through the challenges of the night.
When nothing is normal
Nothing in life feels normal, repeated theme.
cnd beauty's a lie
Beauty perceived as deceptive or false, repeated theme.
What's it like to be alright?
Questioning what it feels like to be okay, repeated theme.
I think I'm sinking
Reiterating a sense of sinking or descending into despair.
This ship is going down
Metaphorical imagery of a ship sinking, repeated theme.
Calling out for help but I don't make a sound
Calling for help but feeling unheard, repeated theme.
Mayday mayday
Emergency distress call, repeated theme.
I think I've gone insane
Continuing the theme of feeling a loss of sanity.
Drowning in this wake of this tidal wave
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed and drowning metaphorically.
Wave after wave after wave keep on dragging me down
Describing the continuous and relentless impact of challenges.
c single tear to you could be an ocean to another
A small gesture to one person can have a significant impact on another.
Wave after wave after wave keep on holding me down
Continuing struggles that feel never-ending.
cnd what brings you joy could make me suffer
Highlighting the subjective nature of joy and suffering.
I think I'm sinking
Repeating the sense of sinking or descending into despair.
This ship is going down
Reiterating the metaphor of a sinking ship.
It's getting hard to make it through the night
Expressing the increasing difficulty of enduring the night.
Mayday mayday
Emergency distress call, repeated theme.
I think I've gone insane
Continuing the theme of a perceived loss of sanity.
Drowning in this wake of this tidal wave
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed and drowning metaphorically.
