Shake The Disease
Shake the Disease: A Heartfelt Plea for Understanding
Lyrics
I'm not going down on my knees, begging you to adore me
The speaker refuses to beg for someone's admiration or love by figuratively saying they won't kneel down.
Can't you see it's misery and torture for me?
The situation causes great distress and suffering for the speaker.
When I'm misunderstood
Feeling misinterpreted or not understood.
Try as hard as you can, I've tried as hard as I could
Despite efforts, both by the speaker and the other person, understanding seems elusive.
To make you see
The speaker's attempts to make the other person understand have been futile.
How important it is for me
Expressing the importance of being understood by the other person.
Here is a plea from my heart to you
A heartfelt appeal is made by the speaker.
Nobody knows me as well as you do
Highlighting the unique understanding the other person has about the speaker.
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
The difficulty the speaker faces in overcoming a certain affliction (metaphorically referred to as a disease).
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
The struggle the speaker faces in expressing themselves in difficult situations.
Understand me, understand me
Repetition emphasizes the plea for understanding.
Understand me, understand me
-Some people have to be permanently together
Suggesting that some relationships require permanent togetherness and deep devotion.
Lovers devoted to each other forever
-Now I've got things to do
The speaker acknowledges personal obligations and recognizes the other person's responsibilities.
And I've said before that I know you have too
-When I'm not there
Even when physically absent, the speaker promises their presence in spirit.
In spirit, I'll be there
-Here is a plea from my heart to you
Reiterating the plea for understanding in difficult situations related to the 'disease' affecting communication.
Nobody knows me as well as you do
-You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
-That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
-Understand me, understand me
Repeated plea for understanding emphasizes the urgency and importance.
Understand me, understand me
-Here is a plea from my heart to you
Continued emphasis on the struggle and difficulty the speaker faces in communication.
Nobody knows me as well as you do
-You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
-That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
-Here is a plea from my heart to you
Repetition emphasizes the depth of the plea for understanding.
Nobody knows me as well as you do
-You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
-That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
-Here is a plea from my heart to you
Final repetition underlines the intensity of the struggle to communicate due to the 'disease'.
Nobody knows me as well as you do
-You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
-That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
