Seven
Emotional Unraveling: A Dance with Desire in Gangs of Ballet's 'Seven'
Lyrics
Hold your stare
Directing someone to maintain eye contact or a gaze.
Play it cool
Acting calmly or composed.
Keeping my attention with your look of recognition
Engaging my attention through a look that acknowledges familiarity.
But I know
Despite my efforts, I understand.
I can't fight
Unable to resist.
Know you're moving to me
Aware that you're gravitating towards me.
I can feel you looking through me
Sensing your penetrating gaze.
Someone hold me back
Seeking assistance to hold back.
I can feel my heart expose, legs are weak
Feeling emotionally exposed, physically unstable.
I can't breathe
Experiencing difficulty breathing.
I can feel the wall around me closing in
Sensing confinement and pressure around me.
Hold me back
Seeking restraint.
I can feel my heart expose my legs are weak
Similar to line 10, feeling exposed and unstable.
I can't breathe
Experiencing difficulty breathing, again.
I can feel the walls around me closing in
Feeling confined, as expressed in line 12.
Don't let go
Asking not to release or let go.
Pull me in
Requesting to be drawn closer.
My head is under water, I'm a lamb tied to the slaughter
Feeling overwhelmed or in a perilous situation.
But you know
Acknowledging awareness despite the danger.
With just one look
Understanding communicated through a single glance.
Tears drip through my armour I should run but I don't want to
Despite emotional vulnerability, hesitating to escape.
Someone hold me up
Requesting support to remain standing.
I can't stop the way you are is pulling me
Feeling unable to resist the influence of the other person.
Don't give up
Encouraging not to surrender.
Teach me to forget what's lost, protect my heart
Asking for guidance to forget past losses and shield emotions.
Hold me up
Similar to line 26, seeking support to stand.
I can't stop the way you are is pulling me
Feeling unable to resist the pull of the other person.
Don't give up
Encouraging not to give up.
Teach me to forget what's lost, protect my heart
Similar to line 29, seeking guidance to protect emotions.
A part of me
Repeating the acknowledgment of a conflicted understanding or intuition.
