Navigating Love's Depths: In Her Own Words - Right Now
Lyrics
You said what am I supposed to do? Because I'm drowning in inches of water with you, and what am I supposed to say? You know you're the reason I'm acting this way.
You express feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to handle the current situation. The metaphor of drowning in inches of water suggests a suffocating and challenging environment, possibly within a relationship.
And you weren't there when I was in over my head. The room is spinning around again. And I'm working on my ways because I haven't been very honest lately.
You recall a time when the other person wasn't there for you during a difficult moment, emphasizing a sense of abandonment. The spinning room indicates confusion, and you acknowledge your lack of honesty recently.
Can you keep me from falling asleep tonight? You're the only thing making me feel alright. Skyscraper building falling down around me. Can you keep me from falling asleep again.
You seek comfort from the other person to prevent emotional turmoil, comparing them to a stabilizing force. The collapsing skyscraper symbolizes the chaos around you, and the plea is to avoid falling asleep, possibly to escape reality.
And falling too deep again.
You acknowledge a repeated pattern of falling too deeply into emotional distress or instability.
You built a wall and i tore it down. You took a breath and stole the words out of my mouth. But what I wanted to say, I've been trying to fix this with everything.
Despite efforts to break down emotional barriers (the wall), communication has been challenging. The other person has an impact on your words and actions, and you're committed to fixing the situation.
Can you keep me from falling asleep tonight? You're the only thing making me feel alright. Skyscraper building falling down around me. Can you keep me from falling asleep again.
Reiteration of the need for the other person to provide emotional support to prevent further distress. The crumbling skyscraper imagery persists.
What are we supposed to do? We're still drowning in inches of water because of you. What do you want me to say? I know what I did but I want you to stay.
You acknowledge the ongoing struggle and attribute it to the other person. Despite recognizing your actions, you express a desire for them to stay in your life.
Can you keep me from falling asleep tonight? You're the only thing making me feel alright. Skyscraper building falling down around me. Can you keep me from falling asleep again.
The plea for support continues, emphasizing the importance of the other person in maintaining emotional stability amid chaos.
But I felt the pressure of water over my head. You weren't there when I started to sink again. I know we're running out of time.
A sense of drowning and urgency is repeated. The other person's absence during moments of crisis is highlighted, and there is awareness of time running out.
Right here, right now, you were holding on, but I let go, yeah I let go. Can you keep me from falling asleep tonight? I know we're running out of time.
You acknowledge a moment of letting go, possibly referring to a missed opportunity or mistake. The request for support remains, with an awareness of the limited time available.
You said what am I supposed to do? We're still drowning in inches of water because of you. What do you want me to say? I know what I did but I really just want you to stay.
A repetition of the initial question, emphasizing the continued struggle and the desire for the other person to stay despite past actions.
