Sink or Swim
Echoes of Eris - Navigate Life's Depths: Sink or Swim
Lyrics
Oh no, you're drowning, again
Expression of concern as the person is experiencing difficulty again.
So close, you're reaching out for my hand
The person is almost within reach and seeking help.
Take a look at yourself, now you're here at the end
Reflecting on reaching a critical point or a sense of conclusion.
Don't hope for me, got no tears left for rent
Unable to offer emotional support as emotions have been exhausted.
This is the time when you need to decide
Encouraging a decision-making moment.
Will you stand by the waves, will you fall for the tides?
Questioning whether the person will resist or succumb to challenges.
I know it's hard but I can't save you
Acknowledging limitations in aiding the person due to personal struggles.
I can barely save myself
Expressing personal difficulty and inability to fully help.
This is how the story goes
Summarizing the ongoing situation.
So now it's time to choose
Prompting the individual to make a critical decision.
It's sink or swim
Presenting the choice between success or failure, with no in-between.
Tonight a part of you might fall
Warning that a part of the person might be lost or damaged.
So hard that you might even break apart
Suggesting the intensity of the potential impact, causing significant emotional distress.
Take a look at yourself, now you're here at the end
Reiteration of reaching a significant point or conclusion.
Don't hope for me, got no tears left for rent
Reiterating inability to offer emotional support due to exhaustion.
This is the time when you need to decide
Emphasizing the critical nature of decision-making at this juncture.
Will you stand by the waves, will you fall for the tides?
Rephrasing the question of resilience or submission to challenges.
I know it's hard but I can't save you
Reaffirmation of personal limitations in aiding the individual.
I can barely save myself
Reiterating personal struggles affecting the ability to help.
This is how the story goes
Restating the ongoing situation and its critical nature.
So now it's time to chose
Encouraging the person again to make a crucial decision.
It's sink or swim
Summarizing the two possible outcomes: success or failure.
