Lyrics
This is where I'll say it once
This marks the beginning of a statement or expression.
I watched you slowly disappear
Observing someone gradually fading away or changing.
cnd I did the same too
Acknowledging personal transformation or change.
I kept my mouth shut
Choosing not to speak or express oneself.
Didn't wanna take no one else
Avoiding involving others in personal struggles.
With me and you
Preserving a separation between the speaker and another person.
I said I didn't want to go home
Expressing reluctance or resistance to returning home.
Emptied all the tears I'll ever have, but we were on the phone so you couldn't see
Sharing intense emotions privately during a phone call.
cnd look what happened when i tried to let it be
Reflecting on the consequences of attempting to let things be.
I let it be I let it be I let it be
Repetition of "let it be" suggests a struggle with acceptance.
I don't remember
Memory loss or difficulty recalling past emotions.
What it felt like
Uncertainty about the experience of genuine presence.
To really be here
Expressing a challenge in truly being present in the moment.
I've been trying to figure out
Struggling to determine the extent of personal departure.
How much of me can leave
Questioning how much of oneself can be lost and still remain.
cnd still be me
Reiterating the theme of identity preservation amid change.
But if I'm the dirt
Metaphorically comparing oneself to dirt or a tree.
If I'm a tree
Accepting understanding when someone is upset or angry.
I get it when you're angry
Recognition of emotional intensity during conflict.
It's just the phasing never subsides
Describing an ongoing and unending aspect of a situation.
You said take those breaths real deep
Recalling advice to take deep breaths, potentially for calmness.
So I took one for a lifetime and I'm holding the release
Taking a deep breath for an extended period, holding onto tension.
Still I can't sleep
Reiteration of the difficulty in finding rest.
I can't sleep
Emphasizing the persistent struggle with insomnia.
and I can't sleep
Repetition of the inability to sleep, underscoring a persistent issue.
