Untangling
Unraveling Emotions: Hannah Scott's Reflection on Building and Unbuilding
Lyrics
We’ve been building castles
We have been constructing metaphorical structures or relationships.
Everlasting, or so we planned
These structures were meant to be enduring, according to our plans.
All our empires will come falling
Despite our intentions, all our achievements will eventually crumble.
We’ve been building in the sand
We have been investing effort in something fragile and transient.
Find a doubt, you hold it in
When encountering uncertainty, you internalize it.
I let it out and we begin
I express doubts openly, initiating a process.
Unravelling where we were entwining
We are discovering the unraveling of our connected lives.
And I am untangling your life from mine
I am actively separating your life from mine.
Unwinding and we are realigning
We are disentangling, reorganizing, and readjusting.
And I am untangling your life from mine
I am specifically disentangling your life from mine.
We’ve been finding changes
We have noticed transformations in familiar faces.
In the faces we used to know
Changes in the people we once recognized.
All the spaces we’ve been hiding
Hidden aspects are causing us to drift apart.
Send us sliding as they grow
These hidden aspects are expanding and affecting our relationship.
Find a doubt, you rush on in
When faced with doubt, you approach it swiftly.
I slow it down and we begin
I deliberately slow down the process, initiating a different response.
Unravelling where we were entwining
We are witnessing the unwinding of our intertwined lives.
And I am untangling your life from mine
I am actively separating your life from mine.
Unwinding and we are realigning
We are disentangling and adjusting our connection.
And I am untangling your life from mine
I am specifically disentangling your life from mine.
We’re unravelling
We are experiencing a gradual breakdown or separation.
I’m still standing
Despite the challenges, I remain resilient and steadfast.
We’ve been building castles
We have been constructing metaphorical structures repeatedly.
We’ve been building in the sand
We have been investing effort in something fragile and transient.
Unravelling where we were entwining
We are observing the disentangling of our connected lives.
And I am untangling your life from mine
I am actively separating your life from mine.
Unwinding and we are realigning
We are adjusting and reorganizing our connection.
And I am untangling your life from mine
I am specifically disentangling your life from mine.
Unwinding and we are realigning
We are readjusting and reorganizing our connection.
And I am untangling your life from mine
I am specifically disentangling your life from mine.
