In Waves
Navigating Life's Turmoil: Embracing Waves of Doubt and Resilience
Lyrics
It comes in waves
Experiencing challenges or emotions in a recurring pattern.
this tarlike numbness
Describing a feeling of thick, heavy numbness.
paralysing the soul
Causing a paralysis of the inner self or essence.
standing breathless
Being in a state of awe or shock, unable to breathe.
awaiting the wave to break
Anticipating the impact or manifestation of the emotional wave.
come swallow me whole
Wishing to be engulfed or consumed entirely by the emotion.
...swallow me whole
Reiteration of the desire to be completely consumed.
It comes in waves
Repetition of the cyclical nature of the emotional waves.
it just draws back to start up again
The emotional experience keeps recurring without resolution.
I have been told to hold the line
Receiving advice or instructions to endure the emotional turmoil.
standing stolid
Standing firm and unyielding in the face of challenges.
churning in spindrift
Being tossed around in the turbulence of conflicting emotions.
poor breakwater martyr
A person who sacrifices themselves in the face of emotional storms.
is swallowed whole
Being completely consumed by the emotional turmoil.
Each wave is doubt,
Each emotional wave represents doubt, pressure, and expectations.
is pressure, is expectations
Intense pressure and societal expectations assimilating the individual.
crushing down to assimilate
The emotional waves crush down to assimilate and conform.
compressing my spirit
The spirit is compressed and molded by external forces.
into confirmed shape
Resulting in a confirmed and obedient identity.
a monument of obedience
A metaphorical monument to conformity.
It comes in waves
Reiteration of the recurring nature of emotional waves.
swallows me whole
Being engulfed and consumed repeatedly by emotions.
again and again and again
Emphasizing the cyclical and repetitive nature of the experience.
I´ll breast the waves
Commitment to facing and enduring the emotional waves.
until erosion washes me away
Enduring until erosion gradually erases the self.
I brave the things to come
Facing future challenges with bravery.
tough like a rock, but I afford no hold
Being tough and resilient like a rock but not providing a foothold.
as solid as slippery
Balancing between solidity and slipperiness in facing challenges.
bearing breakers just to wipe them off
Enduring powerful challenges only to overcome them.
white- crested hero or spume crowned fool?
Questioning whether the speaker is a hero or a fool in facing challenges.
It comes in waves
Reiteration of the cyclical and repetitive nature of emotional waves.
swallows me whole
Being engulfed and consumed repeatedly by emotions.
again and again and again
Emphasizing the cyclical and repetitive nature of the experience.
I´ll breast the waves, until erosion washes me away
Commitment to facing and enduring the emotional waves until erosion takes away the self.
