quicksand
Confronting Fears: Eva Snyder's Quicksand Revelations
Lyrics
I'm afraid of quicksand, highways and palm readers looking at my hand
Fear of quicksand, highways, and palm readers predicting her fate
I don't want them to tell me that I'll die tomorrow
Resistance to being told about her impending death
I'm afraid of the dark, throwing up and swimming with a great white shark
Fear of the dark, vomiting, and encountering a great white shark while swimming
I don't like open water, I'll stay in the shallows
Aversion to open water, preferring to stay in shallow areas
I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge
I'm so paranoid but I never knew
Feeling excessively anxious without prior awareness
When I turned the lights out
Turning off the lights, potentially symbolizing a moment of vulnerability
I should've been afraid of you
Regret for not being afraid of a certain person
I'm afraid of quicksand, even though I've never seen it
Fear of quicksand despite not witnessing it, metaphorically linked to concealing secrets
But I felt that sinking feeling, trying to keep your fucking secrets
Recalling a sinking feeling while trying to protect someone's secrets
And you said I was dramatic and I instantly believed it
Accepting accusations of being dramatic without questioning
Seriously, you're gonna blame me
Displeasure at being blamed for something
I don't know how
Reiteration of not knowing how
I'm so paranoid but I never knew
Ongoing paranoia without prior realization
When I turned the lights out
Turning off the lights again, possibly reflecting on vulnerability
I should've been afraid of
Regret for not fearing a particular person
You broke me down
Feeling emotionally broken down by someone
Made me do shit I didn't want to
Being coerced into undesirable actions by the same person
When you turned the lights out
Reflecting on vulnerability when someone turned off the lights
I should've been afraid of you
Regret for not fearing that particular person sooner
Should've been afraid of
Reiteration of the missed fear towards a person
I should've been afraid of
Continued emphasis on the regret of not being afraid
I don't know how
Reiteration of not knowing how
I'm so paranoid but I never knew
Ongoing paranoia without prior realization
When I turned the lights out
Turning off the lights once again, potentially symbolizing vulnerability
I should've been afraid of
Regret for not fearing a particular person
You broke me down
Feeling emotionally broken down by someone
Made me do shit I didn't want to
Being coerced into undesirable actions by the same person
When you turned the lights out
Reflecting on vulnerability when someone turned off the lights
I should've been afraid of you
Regret for not fearing that particular person sooner
