Smoke
Embracing the Echoes: Unraveling the Depths of 'Smoke' by Emma Henderson
Lyrics
Feelin'
Expressing a certain emotional state
Finding what I do and don't believe in
Exploring personal beliefs and values
Pull me out before you light and breathe in
Asking to be rescued before engaging in something potentially harmful
Turn away and go before you lean in
Suggesting a desire to avoid getting too close or involved
But I'm not seein'
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding
Why you're asking me for all these reasons
Questioning the need for explanations or justifications
You push away before I even need it
Noticing a tendency to distance oneself before receiving support
You're tired of fire and say you miss the seasons
Expressing weariness of intensity, preferring calmer times
When the smoke clears I won't breathe better
Anticipating improved well-being after a challenging situation
Cus you're not here to breathe it together
Acknowledging the absence of a significant other during difficulties
When I say I'm fine I'm not
Admitting that the claimed emotional state is not genuine
I don't say out loud a lot
Highlighting a tendency to keep feelings internalized
Leavin'
Indicating a departure or separation
Finding everything you said I'm needin'
Discovering essential things previously mentioned or implied
Getting out of here despite the feelin'
Choosing to move on despite emotional ties
We never really had to burn that ceiling
Reflecting on unnecessary barriers that were created
But I'm not dealin' with this
Refusing to handle a situation in a particular way
The way I wanted to it's got me reelin'
Expressing frustration at a deviation from desired outcomes
And I just wish
Expressing a desire for a different outcome
We could've had it all before the fire set flame to my fists
Regretting missed opportunities before facing a destructive situation
But your name's on my lips tonight
Thinking about someone important during challenging times
When the smoke clears I won't breathe better
Expecting improved conditions once the difficulties pass
Cus you're not here to breathe it together
Acknowledging the absence of a significant other during difficulties (repeated)
When I say I'm fine I'm not
Admitting that the claimed emotional state is not genuine (repeated)
I don't say out loud a lot
Highlighting a tendency to keep feelings internalized (repeated)
When the smoke clears I won't sleep better
Anticipating improved sleep after a challenging situation
Cus you're not here to hold down the weather
Noticing the absence of support during difficult times
When you say it's fine it's not
Admitting that claimed well-being is not genuine
You don't say out loud a lot
Highlighting a tendency to keep feelings internalized (repeated)
So won't you just slow down
Suggesting a need to pause and reconsider before a potential disaster
Before we go out in flames
Emphasizing the importance of slowing down before facing a crisis
Won't you just slow down
Reiterating the importance of slowing down before facing a crisis
Before we go out in flames
Emphasizing the importance of slowing down before facing a crisis (repeated)
When the smoke clears I won't breathe better
Anticipating improved well-being after a challenging situation (repeated)
Cus you're not here to breathe it together
Acknowledging the absence of a significant other during difficulties (repeated)
When I say I'm fine I'm not
Admitting that the claimed emotional state is not genuine (repeated)
I don't say out loud a lot
Highlighting a tendency to keep feelings internalized (repeated)
When the smoke clears I won't sleep better
Anticipating improved sleep after a challenging situation (repeated)
Cus you're not here to hold down the weather
Noticing the absence of support during difficult times (repeated)
When you say it's fine it's not
Admitting that claimed well-being is not genuine (repeated)
You don't say out loud a lot
Highlighting a tendency to keep feelings internalized (repeated)
