I'm Hit
Unveiling Emotional Turmoil: 'I'm Hit' by Greg Laswell
Lyrics
You string lies up like lights at
You construct falsehoods like festive lights during Christmas time.
Christmas time
These lies pierce through my night and disturb my peace.
They cut through my night and keep me up
Escape from this situation, run away.
Run away
Expressing a desire to escape or avoid the current circumstances.
Run away
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the urge to run away.
Run away
Further emphasis on the desire to escape.
What has been going on in that mind
Questioning the thoughts and actions of the other person.
What have you gotta say?
What do you have to explain or justify?
I've gotta mark this down, mark this down now
Feeling the need to document or remember the current situation.
I'm hit with all of the times you said "fine"
Feeling the impact of the numerous times the other person claimed everything was "fine."
And daylight burns in a way I've never felt
Daylight burns, suggesting a painful realization or exposure to the truth.
'till now
This burning sensation is something previously unfelt until now.
Felt 'till now
Reiteration of the intensity of the newfound feeling.
I tear away at myself to get at you
Struggling with oneself to reach the other person emotionally.
Cut through my thick skull to bleed out you
Physically and metaphorically cutting through barriers to connect.
What has been going on in that mind
Repetition of questioning the other person's thoughts and actions.
What have you gotta say?
What do you have to say in response?
I've gotta mark this down, mark this down now
Emphasizing the need to document or remember the ongoing situation.
I'm hit with all of the times you said "fine"
Feeling the impact of the numerous times the other person claimed everything was "fine."
And daylight burns in a way I've never felt
Daylight burns, indicating a painful realization or exposure to the truth.
'till now
This burning sensation is something previously unfelt until now.
Felt 'till now
Reiteration of the intensity of the newfound feeling.
We would've made it if you would have
Expressing a missed opportunity for success if the other person had communicated.
Opened your mouth up just one time
Highlighting that communication could have salvaged the situation.
Yeah, we would've made it if I would have
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the missed opportunity.
Opened my ears up just one time
Recognizing the potential for success if one had been more receptive.
