Out for July
Embracing Shadows: Divine Sweater's Poetic Journey in 'Out for July'
Lyrics
Can you reach your arms out to me
Requesting someone to extend their arms for support or assistance.
I've grown heavy
Feeling emotionally burdened or weighed down.
Tell me can you still hold me
Asking if the person is capable of offering emotional support despite the burden.
Can you carry me over to safety
Asking for help to be moved to a place of safety, metaphorically or literally.
Could you hear me screaming all night
Questioning if the distress or pain was noticeable despite vocalizing it.
Out for July
Expressing a feeling of being exposed or vulnerable, possibly during a difficult time (July symbolizing a hot, exposed period).
I've been longing for the sunlight
Longing for positive and nurturing experiences, akin to the warmth of sunlight.
She reminds me of what I look like
Comparing someone else to a reminder of personal identity or purpose.
Where I should put all my time
Questioning where to invest one's energy or focus.
Reminds me of my own light
Stating that the person being referenced embodies characteristics or qualities the speaker possesses.
My own life
Reaffirming the connection between the referenced person and the speaker's life.
Can you carry me over to safety
Reiterating the plea for assistance to reach a safe place.
Close up behind me
Asking for continued support to stay close and vigilant.
Don't let me leave
Requesting not to be abandoned or left alone in a vulnerable state.
When they come for me
Anticipating a situation where the speaker might need protection or assistance.
Can you still hold me
Checking if the emotional support is still available despite potential difficulties.
Can you carry me over to safety
Repeating the request for help to reach a place of safety.
Close up behind me
Emphasizing the need for continued proximity and support.
Don't let me leave
Insisting on not being abandoned or left behind.
