Free Fall
Emotional Free Fall: Seeking Identity Amidst Love's Distances
Lyrics
I hear them make their vows
I perceive people expressing their commitments or promises.
It all seems so distant now
All those promises seem distant and remote now.
Sweet nothings are light years away
Expressions of affection and endearments feel incredibly far away.
The winds rush past my face
The sensation of wind rushing by as if in a free fall.
Guarantees now displaced
Assurances or certainties have been displaced or lost.
Maybe Ill just slowly fade away
Contemplating a gradual withdrawal or disappearance.
I'm losing altitude
Experiencing a decline in position or status.
I'm falling through the clouds
Falling through challenges or difficulties.
I need to pull the parachute
Recognizing the need to take protective measures before expressing emotions.
Before I feel aloud
Acting cautiously to avoid expressing feelings openly.
The voice inside says play the game
An internal voice advises engaging in life's challenges.
Subtract myself see what remains
Suggests self-reflection to understand what remains after removing oneself from situations.
And all the while searching
Continuously searching for something that feels unique or different.
For something that feels different
Seeking experiences or connections that stand out.
Who am I kidding
Realizing the futility of self-deception.
It always ends this way
Acceptance that things often conclude in a predictable manner.
It feels like
Expressing the feeling of...
Everyone around me
Observing that everyone around is getting into relationships.
Is falling for somebody
While others are falling in love, the speaker is experiencing a different kind of fall.
And meanwhile I'm just falling
Continuing to fall, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
And now I'm supposed to pretend
Facing the expectation to pretend that the situation doesn't affect one's mood.
It doesn't make my day
Despite the expectation, hearing someone's call still impacts the speaker.
Whenever I hear you calling
The emotional impact of hearing someone call remains.
