Treading Water
Navigating Depths: Danny Rose's Treading Water Meaning
Lyrics
Just Give me something to believe in Something I can sink my teeth into looking for a deeper meaning
Seeking something substantial to believe in, a meaningful purpose to invest in.
been sitting on my hands so damn long
Been inactive for a long time, devoid of action.
I've lost all feeling
Lost sensitivity or emotion due to prolonged inaction.
I'm kinda reckless
Acting without considering consequences or risks.
give me a reason
Searching for a cause or motivation.
to keep on breathing
Desiring a reason to keep living.
you know that I need it
Expressing a strong necessity for the sought-after reason.
How can I get this message to you Just tell me what I need to do
Asking for guidance on how to convey a message or communicate effectively.
Lost in the shadows again
Feeling lost and overshadowed.
We're just children of men
Referring to humanity, vulnerable despite maturity.
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown
Struggling to survive amidst adversities and pressures.
I'll take the mask off my face
Choosing to reveal true self, vulnerabilities, and insecurities.
All my fears on display
Being openly afraid and vulnerable.
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown
Continuing the struggle despite overwhelming odds against.
Tryna fight off all my demons
Fighting personal inner struggles or conflicts.
Swear this world's got me feeling some kind of way
Feeling a unique and intense emotional state due to the world's influence.
Such a wonder I'm still breathing Tryna bite my tongue and find my place
Surprised to still be alive considering the challenges faced.
Where there's smoke there is fire beneath the surface
Suggesting hidden problems or issues beneath the surface.
Show me a liar
Challenge someone who deceives, indicating personal unease.
and I'll show you nervous
Feeling anxious or jittery in the presence of falsehood.
How can I get this message to you Just tell me what I need to do
Seeking guidance on effective communication again.
Lost in the shadows again
Repeating the feeling of being lost and overshadowed.
We're just children of men
Reference to the vulnerability and fragility of humanity.
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown
Continued struggle to survive despite adversity.
I'll take the mask off my face
Choosing to reveal vulnerabilities and fears again.
All my fears on display
Being openly afraid and vulnerable again.
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown
Continuing the struggle despite overwhelming odds against again.
When the world wants me to drown
Reiteration of the world's antagonism against personal survival.
When the world wants me to drown
-When the tide goes out
The metaphorical cleansing of pain when external pressures lessen.
It washes all my pain away
-My pain away
-When the tide goes out
-It washes all my pain away
-Lost in the shadows again
Repeating the feeling of being lost and overshadowed again.
We're just children of men
Reference to the vulnerability and fragility of humanity again.
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown
Continued struggle to survive despite adversity again.
I'll take the mask off my face
Choosing to reveal vulnerabilities and fears again.
All my fears on display
Being openly afraid and vulnerable again.
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown
Continuing the struggle despite overwhelming odds against again.
I'm treading water
Expressing the continuous act of barely surviving amidst adversity.
I'm treading water
-I'm treading water
-And the world wants me to drown
Highlighting the world's antagonistic nature towards personal survival again.
