Heavy
Unveiling Depths: Embracing Vulnerability in 'Heavy' by Holly Brook
Lyrics
Now I've come to cry
Expressing the emotional state of being ready to cry.
Shed your skin to rest my naked eye
Metaphorically shedding one's outer layer to see things clearly.
And criticize
Being critical, possibly self-critical or critical of others.
All that I implore
Expressing a plea or request for something.
Seems to be one foot outside that door
Feeling emotionally distant or on the verge of leaving.
Coming between me and waking
Describing an obstacle or interference in one's waking life.
Underneath the corset of your mystery
Referring to the hidden aspects of someone's life or personality.
Piece by piece undress you from your history
Gradually revealing and understanding someone's past.
I'm sleeping with seclusion in sweet disarray
Sleeping with a sense of isolation and disorder.
You can go heavy on me
Inviting someone to be emotionally intense or burdensome.
And I will not weigh you down, down, down
Assuring that the emotional weight won't be a burden.
You can be steady and clean
Encouraging stability and cleanliness in the relationship.
I can take it
Expressing the ability to handle challenges and difficulties.
Heavy on me
Reiterating the willingness to bear emotional burdens.
And I will not weigh you down
Reassuring that the emotional load won't be overwhelming.
Born unto this pride
Describing a sense of inherent pride or identity.
Silence is something you can't hide
Highlighting that silence cannot conceal certain truths.
You can't deny us
Stating that certain facts or emotions cannot be denied.
Nothing has been said
Emphasizing the absence of explicit communication.
Yet so many words have filled my head
Describing the overwhelming presence of unspoken words.
Now they completely surround me
Feeling surrounded or overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions.
Tie the lines of honest conductivity
Emphasizing the importance of honest communication.
Caught between the center of our gravity
Feeling trapped between the central aspects of a relationship.
I don't have that much time to burn anymore
Expressing a limited amount of time available.
