Ketamine
Awakening Dreams: Navigating Love and Loss in Emina Sonnad's 'Ketamine'
Lyrics
Blank eyes staring at the tv screen
Feeling disconnected, emotionally numb, while watching television.
Did we fuck up baby I took too much ketamine
Reflecting on the impact of taking too much ketamine, possibly questioning the consequences in a relationship.
Felt shaky now I feel serene
From feeling jittery to achieving a sense of calm and peace.
Trick me into thinking that we're living out our dreams
Being deceived into believing that life is fulfilling the desired dreams.
Deep through this dark dark hole where all I see is you
Navigating a challenging and dark emotional space where the focus is on the other person.
You say we're in control you're slipping out of view
The perception of control slipping away in a relationship.
Oh oh oh
Repeating refrain, possibly indicating a sense of desperation or realization.
Oh oh oh
-Blank eyes staring at the tv screen
Reiteration of the emptiness while staring at the TV.
Kiss me once more baby then you say we're getting clean
A moment of intimacy followed by a claim of mutual recovery.
Our brains do crazy things I can't believe
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the mind and its impact on emotions.
Trick me into thinking that you're everything I need
Being misled into thinking someone is indispensable.
I feel it in my soul these dreams will not come true
Expressing doubt about the realization of dreams, feeling it deeply in the soul.
I have to let you go I hope you wake up too
A decision to let go, hoping for awakening or realization on the other side.
Oh oh oh
Repeating refrain, possibly emphasizing the emotional struggle.
Oh oh oh
-And oh can we get better
Pondering if things can improve.
If you say that you're the last thing keeping me together
Stating that the person is crucial for emotional stability.
And oh it's now or never
A sense of urgency, recognizing the critical moment in the relationship.
Cause she's the kind of dream that kills you if you let her
Describing the person as a dream that can be destructive if allowed.
The days get longer and the nights are slow
Time feels prolonged, and there's a sense of monotony.
You've been staring at me like you're tired of this show
Perceiving weariness or dissatisfaction in the other person's gaze.
But I'm stronger than you'll ever know
Asserting personal strength, suggesting resilience.
Pick myself up baby every time that you let go
Self-reliance after each setback or separation.
Deep through this dark dark hole where all I see is you
Revisiting the emotionally challenging space where the focus remains on the other person.
You say we're in control you're slipping out of view
Repetition of the idea that control is slipping away in the relationship.
And I feel it in my soul these dreams will not come true
Reiterating the doubt about dreams coming true, felt deeply in the soul.
I have to let you go I hope you wake up too
A repeated decision to let go, with a hope for awakening.
Oh oh oh oh there's nothing left to do
Expressing resignation or acceptance that there's nothing more to be done.
Oh oh oh oh and I hope I hope I hope I hope
A repeated expression of hope for the other person's awakening.
I hope you wake up too
Final expression of the hope for the other person's awakening.
