Just Don't Pull Me Down
Rising Above: A Journey Through Independence and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
So long (So fucking overdue)
Expressing that something has been overdue for a long time.
And I'm wasting no more time on you
Declaring the decision to stop investing time in the subject or person mentioned.
It's time this all was over
Signifying that it's time for a conclusion or ending to the situation.
And now I'm cold and sober
Feeling emotionally distant and clear-headed now, possibly implying sobriety.
And one year older, but what does that mean?
Reflecting on personal growth with uncertainty about its significance.
Cause I don't know what you're going through
Expressing lack of understanding or insight into the other person's experience or emotions.
And you don't have to say
Stating that the person doesn't need to explain or communicate verbally.
Just don't turn me round
Asking the other person not to redirect or alter their actions toward the speaker.
My own, my only one
Addressing someone special, possibly a significant other.
Let me know when all of this is done
Requesting information or notification about the completion of a situation or event.
Tear off all the bandages and
Metaphorically suggesting removing all coverings or protection to reveal the true extent of wounds.
Let me see the burns in first degree
Desiring to witness the full extent of damage or pain (physical or emotional).
I can't just let it be
Expressing inability to ignore or accept the situation without taking action.
I stoked the flames, the heat's on me
Admitting responsibility for escalating a situation or causing trouble.
And now the time has come
Implying that the appropriate time for action or change has arrived.
To go on my way alone
Deciding to move forward independently or without reliance on others.
And if you don't know
Expressing the lack of understanding or empathy from another party.
What we're going through
Reiterating the lack of necessity for the other person to comprehend the speaker's situation.
Then you don't have to stay
Asking the other person not to hinder or worsen the speaker's condition.
Just don't pull me down
Requesting the other person not to drag the speaker into their negative situation or emotional state.
