The Bottom
Navigating Descent: The Struggle to Stay Afloat
Lyrics
You're one step closer to the edge
You are getting closer to a critical point or threshold.
And I, I barely feel alive
The speaker feels barely alive, lacking vitality or energy.
All used up, I'm dead inside
Feeling depleted and emotionally lifeless.
But I'm still trying, fix yourself now
Despite difficulties, there is an effort to self-improve or overcome challenges.
I'm not the one you need to
The speaker is not the one to give up on at the moment.
Give up on now, I'm worried sick
Expressing concern and anxiety about a situation or person.
Now it's a time to play
Now is a time for action or engagement.
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
Assurance that everything will be fine when the person is safe.
But you're reaching for the bottom
The person is descending to a low point or facing a difficult situation.
And we'll all make it through
Confidence that everyone will overcome challenges.
I'm just not sure about you
Uncertainty about the outcome or reliability of a specific individual.
'Cause you're heading for the bottom
Reiterating the person's descent or struggle towards a negative state.
I'm one step closer to the edge of you
The speaker is distancing themselves from the person or situation.
You still don't feel alive
The person still feels lifeless or unresponsive.
You're used up and full of pride
Despite being used up, there is a sense of pride.
And we're still here to win
Remaining resilient and determined to succeed.
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
Repeating the assurance that everything will be fine when the person is safe.
But you're reaching for the bottom
Reiteration of the person's descent to a low point.
And we'll all make it through
Confidence in collective resilience and overcoming challenges.
I'm just not sure about you
Continued uncertainty about the reliability of a specific individual.
'Cause you're heading for the bottom
Emphasizing the person's ongoing struggle towards a negative state.
I can't be the one to always pull you from the bottom
Expressing inability to always rescue someone from a difficult situation.
I can't be in your sick world, I can't be here anymore
Rejecting involvement in a negative or harmful environment.
I can't be the one to always pull you from the bottom
Reiterating the inability to consistently rescue someone from a difficult situation.
I can't be in your sick world not anymore
Declaring the end of involvement in a detrimental environment.
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
Reaffirming the belief that everything will be fine when the person is safe.
But you're reaching for the bottom
Repetition of the person's descent to a low point.
And we'll all make it through
Confidence in collective perseverance and overcoming challenges.
I'm just not sure about you
Continued uncertainty about the reliability of a specific individual.
'Cause you're heading for the bottom
Emphasizing the person's ongoing struggle towards a negative state.
It'll all be okay when I know you're safe
Repeating the assurance that everything will be fine when the person is safe.
'Cause you're heading for the bottom
Final emphasis on the person's descent to a low point.
