Face Down, Back Up
Letting Go: Embracing Vulnerability
Lyrics
I never listen when you're quiet
I disregard your words when you're silent.
You never listen when I'm stoned
You ignore me when I'm under the influence of drugs.
You never wanna be around me
You avoid being in my presence.
You never wanna be alone
You prefer not to be by yourself.
Please make up, make up your mind
Request to make a decision or express your thoughts.
Make up, make up your mind
Reiteration of the plea for a decision or expression of thoughts.
Tell me something that I don't know
Ask for new information or insights.
Show me how to let go
Seek guidance on how to release emotions or attachments.
Cause I'm holding on for dear life
Clutching onto life desperately.
Tell me something that I don't know
Repeat of the request for new information or insights.
Show me how to let go
Repeat seeking guidance on emotional release.
Cause I'm feeling so small
Feelings of insignificance.
But I've always been too big
Despite feeling small, I have always been too big.
For you, for me
Reference to the size disparity between the speaker and the other person.
Face down in the concrete
Metaphorically face down in a difficult situation or failure.
And every time that I fall
Every time the speaker faces adversity, they don't recover easily.
I don't get back up
The speaker struggles to rise again after a fall.
I can't look at you with sorrow
Avoiding eye contact due to an inability to face the other person with sadness.
Cause I can't look at you at all
Complete avoidance of looking at the other person.
And if you want I'll be at my place
Offer to be in a specific location if needed.
Staring past these walls
Gazing beyond physical barriers, possibly lost in thoughts.
Please make up, make your mind
Requesting a decision or expression of thoughts.
Make up, make your mind
Reiteration of the plea for a decision or expression of thoughts.
Tell me something that I don't know
Ask for new information or insights.
Show me how to let go
Seek guidance on how to let go of emotions or attachments.
Cause I'm holding on for dear life
Clutching onto life desperately, repeated emphasis.
Tell me something that I don't know
Repeat of the request for new information or insights.
Show me how to let go
Repeat seeking guidance on emotional release.
Cause I'm feeling so small
Feelings of insignificance reiterated.
But I've always been too big
Despite feeling small, the speaker has always been too big.
For you, for me
Reference to the size disparity between the speaker and the other person.
Face down in the concrete
Metaphorically face down in a difficult situation or failure.
And every time that I fall
Every time the speaker faces adversity, they don't recover easily.
I don't get back up
The speaker struggles to rise again after a fall.
I'm feeling so small
Intensification of feelings of smallness.
I'm feeling so small
Repetition emphasizing the overwhelming sense of smallness.
I'm feeling so small
Continued repetition of feeling small, possibly in despair.
I'm feeling so small
Reiteration of the overwhelming sense of smallness.
I'm feeling so small
Repetition emphasizing the intense feeling of smallness.
I'm feeling so small
Reiteration of the intense and persistent feeling of smallness.
