Going Under
Navigating Shadows: Jacob Browne's Emotional Journey Through Loss and Longing
Lyrics
Yesterday we had a place
Reflecting on a past shared space or time.
It wasn't long before you were my best friend
Quickly becoming close friends.
Face to face just ain't the same anymore
Direct interaction doesn't hold the same significance anymore.
Breakaway without a trace
Departure without leaving any trace or mark.
But I feel your shadows with me
Feeling the lingering presence or influence of the departed.
Take a day memory lane feeling torn
Reminiscing about the past, feeling emotionally conflicted.
Cos I'm going under
Sinking into a difficult or troubled state.
I'm feeling drowned
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated emotionally.
I see your wonder
Recognizing someone's greatness or beauty.
But I'm heading south
Moving away or departing.
Tell me if you brighten my days with your steadily waves when I'm sinking with doubt
Asking for reassurance in challenging times from the person who brings joy.
Cos I'm going under
Continuing to struggle emotionally, missing the person.
But I miss you now
Feeling the absence of the person daily.
Everyday tidal waves
Constant overwhelming emotions crashing down.
Crashing down before I get to safety
Struggling to find safety amidst emotional turmoil.
Never say I hate the way you love
Despite difficulties, not resenting the way love was expressed.
Judgement day time to pray
Sense of approaching consequences, a time for reflection or prayer.
How long can I wait for you now
Questioning the duration of waiting for someone's return.
Never fade all the way in time
Belief that feelings won't completely diminish over time.
Cos I'm going under
Continued descent into emotional difficulty.
I'm feeling drowned
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions.
I see your wonder
Recognizing the greatness or beauty of someone/something.
But I'm heading south
Moving away or departing.
Tell me if you brighten my days with your steadily waves when I'm sinking with doubt
Seeking assurance in moments of doubt from the source of happiness.
Cos I'm going under
Continuing to struggle emotionally, missing the person.
But I miss you now
Feeling the absence of the person daily.
You could lift me up
Recognizing someone's potential to uplift without many words.
Without even saying much
Noting the ability to guide away from turmoil.
Cos you could steer me from this storm
Yearning for the comfort of physical contact.
I just need your touch
Urging the person not to hold onto resentment.
Don't you hold your grudge
Belief in eventually finding peace or resolution.
Cos one day I'll find your shore
Continuing to struggle emotionally, missing the person.
Cos I'm going under
Sinking deeper into emotional hardship.
I'm feeling drowned
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions.
I see your wonder
Recognizing the greatness or beauty of someone/something.
But I'm heading south
Moving away or departing.
Cos I'm going under
Sinking deeper into emotional hardship.
I'm feeling drowned
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions.
I see your wonder
Recognizing the greatness or beauty of someone/something.
But I'm heading south
Moving away or departing.
Tell me if you brighten my days with your steadily waves when I'm sinking with doubt
Seeking reassurance in moments of doubt from the source of happiness.
Cos I'm going under
Continuing to struggle emotionally, missing the person.
But I miss you now
Feeling the absence of the person daily.
But I miss you now
Continuing to struggle emotionally, missing the person.
