Always
Eternal Descent: Unraveling the Emotion in Gravity Kills' 'Always'
Lyrics
Given up to me
Feeling resigned or given up on by the speaker
You're living - rotting in my dream
The person addressed is existing in a deteriorating state within the speaker's dream or thoughts
Morning lights to red
The transition from morning light to red possibly symbolizes a shift from optimism to danger or warning
I think I've had too much already
The speaker feels overwhelmed or intoxicated by something, possibly emotions or experiences
So violently to touch, it's tearing me up
The intensity of contact or interaction is causing emotional distress
So beautifully to clutch, I'm feeling so weak
The desire to hold onto something or someone despite feeling emotionally vulnerable
So violently to touch, you're everything
The powerful impact of the person being addressed is overwhelming to the speaker
So violently to touch
Reiteration of the impactful nature of the interaction or relationship
Because you're always slipping away
The person consistently eludes the speaker, creating a sense of frustration or disappointment
Because you're always slipping away from me
Reinforcement of the feeling of loss or separation from the person
Always slipping away
The continuous experience of the person slipping away from the speaker
Because you're always slipping away from me
Reiterating the frustration and sense of loss due to the person's constant departure
Aimless misery
Feeling directionless and unhappy
Things aren't always what they seem
A reminder that appearances can be deceiving
Anger lay to rest
The resolution of anger or hostility
I've never been the one to follow
The speaker doesn’t follow conventions or the expected path
So violently to touch, it's tearing me down
The intense impact of interaction causing emotional breakdown
So beautifuully to clutch is what you believe
Belief in the beauty of holding onto something despite vulnerability
So violently to touch, I'm anything
Feeling anything due to the intense impact of interaction
So violently to touch
Reiteration of the powerful impact of interaction
Because you're always slipping away
The recurring theme of the person slipping away from the speaker
Because you're always slipping away from me
Reinforcement of the sense of loss and separation
Always slipping away
Continual experience of the person slipping away
Because you're always slipping away from me
Reiterating the frustration and sadness due to the continuous departure of the person
Not a memory
The absence of memory or recognition related to the person
Your cup of life is overflowing
The person’s life seems abundant or overwhelming, possibly overflowing with experiences
There to catch the fall
A metaphorical presence to support or comfort during tough times
Bending down to kiss the sorrow
A gesture of affection or comfort to alleviate sorrow
So silently to touch, it's tearing me down
The quiet but intense impact of interaction causing emotional distress
Innocently to clutch, I'm feeling so weak
Feeling emotionally weak while desiring to hold onto something or someone
So violently to touch, I'm anything
Experiencing a range of emotions due to the intense impact of interaction
So violently to touch
Reiteration of the powerful impact of interaction
Because you're always slipping away
Continued frustration and disappointment over the person's consistent departure
Because you're always slipping away from me
Reinforcement of the feeling of loss and separation
Always slipping away
The recurring theme of the person slipping away from the speaker
Because you're always slipping away from me
Reiterating the frustration and sense of loss due to the person's constant departure
