Echoes of Unheard Voices: Yearning for Connection
Lyrics
Do you even hear me?
Questioning if the listener can hear the speaker
Do you even hear me?
Reiteration of questioning if the listener can hear the speaker
Do you even feel me?
Questioning if the listener can empathize or understand the speaker emotionally
I feel like you fear me
The speaker feels that the listener is afraid of them
Eyes over my head
Suggests surveillance or watchfulness over the speaker
You lie over my bed
Implies lies or deceit occurring in the speaker's intimate space
Ties
Reference to connections or associations
Ties
Reiteration of the concept of connections or associations
Ties pulling the thread
Symbolizes external forces affecting the speaker's life
Do you even hear me
Reiteration of questioning if the listener can hear the speaker
Do you even hear me?
Continued questioning if the listener can hear the speaker
You
Direct reference to the listener
Follow my voice
Encouraging the listener to follow the speaker's guidance or instructions
It's all out
Expressing openness or transparency
Not under the table it's all out
Nothing hidden; everything is revealed
Float on the water
Imagery of floating on water, suggesting ease or freedom
Your chest out
Symbolic of confidence or pride
Chest up
Repetition emphasizing confidence or pride
Chest out
Further reinforcement of confidence or pride
You need to breathe
Direct instruction to the listener to take a breath
You need to breathe
Repetition stressing the importance of breathing
You need to breathe
Continued emphasis on the necessity of breathing
You need to breathe
Reiteration of the importance of breathing for the listener
(How?) I cannot think here it's too loud
The environment is overwhelming, hindering the speaker's ability to think
I'm tryna breathe
The speaker is struggling to breathe due to the loudness of the situation
But it's too loud
Reiteration of the struggle to breathe in the noisy environment
All of these people
Feeling crowded or suffocated by the presence of many people
It's too crowded
Continued feeling of being overwhelmed by the crowd
(Breathe)
A directive to the listener to breathe
(How?) Follow my voice
Encouraging the listener to follow the speaker's guidance
But it's too loud
Reiteration of the difficulty in breathing due to the loudness
Hollow my chest
Asking to hollow the speaker's chest to adapt to new experiences or sounds
In these new sounds
Adapting to unfamiliar or novel sounds or situations
Yeah, I need to breathe
Expressing the urgent need for breathing
My mind is open
The speaker's mind is open to new experiences or ideas
Let in the flow
Allowing oneself to go with the flow of life
Water is warm here
Metaphor for comfort or serenity
You're free to float
Encouraging freedom and relaxation
I think you're ok
Expressing concern for the listener's well-being
I need to know
Desire for understanding or confirmation of the listener's state
Do you even hear me?
Reiteration of the initial question about being heard
