Long Way Down
Navigating Descent: Haste the Day's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Oh here you are, there's nothing left to say
Expressing a sense of finality, acknowledging the absence of anything more to be said.
You're not supposed to be that way
Addressing a deviation from an expected or accepted way of being.
Did they push you out, did they throw you away?
Suggesting a forced or unwanted removal from a certain situation or group.
Touch me now and I don't care. When you take me I'm not there
Describing emotional detachment or numbness, indifference to physical touch.
Almost human, but I'll never be the same
Conveying a transformation, perhaps into a less empathetic or more detached state.
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Expressing a sentiment of facing a challenging and difficult journey.
Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone
Rejecting the idea of living in solitude, a desire for companionship.
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Reiterating the difficulty of facing challenges independently.
I never put you down, I never pushed you away
Denying any intentional harm or distancing from the subject.
You're not supposed to be that way
Reiterating a deviation from an expected or accepted way of being.
And anything you want, there's nothing I could say
Conveying a sense of helplessness, acknowledging the inability to influence the situation.
Is there anything to feel? Is it pain that makes you real?
Raising questions about the nature of emotions and whether pain defines one's reality.
Cut me off before it kills me
Using vivid imagery to convey the urgency of disconnecting before harm occurs.
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Repeating the theme of facing a challenging and difficult journey.
Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone
Expressing a reluctance to endure loneliness.
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Reiterating the difficulty of facing challenges independently.
I never put you down, I never pushed you away
Denying any intentional harm or distancing from the subject (repeated from Line #12).
Take another piece of me
Describing a figurative taking away of a part of oneself.
Give my mind a new disease
Metaphorically expressing the impact of external influences on one's mental state.
And the black and white world never fades to gray
Highlighting the persistence of a stark and unchanging reality.
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Repeating the sentiment of facing a challenging and difficult journey.
Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone
Expressing a desire to avoid living in isolation.
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Reiterating the difficulty of facing challenges independently.
