The Hands I’d Rather Let Go Of
Unveiling the Depths: A Journey Through Lost Promises
Lyrics
It was a tiny drop of water in the sea of my life
Reflecting on a small incident or person in the vastness of life.
Somehow made the biggest tide in my chest
Emphasizing the unexpectedly strong impact this small element has on the speaker emotionally.
Which gets to me more the further I'm away
The emotional significance deepens with physical distance.
But you're down below the seventh sky with false hope in between
Describing the person's current state, seemingly in a state of false optimism.
All the pinky promises we made, I remember them all
Recalling promises made, possibly emphasizing their importance.
I never thought I'd put expectations on such childish gesture
Expressing surprise at placing expectations on seemingly trivial promises.
With all the wishes we make we could have done so much more
Regret over not fulfilling potential or opportunities represented by unfulfilled wishes.
But saying good bye with hope is better than nothing at all
Choosing to say goodbye with hope, implying it's better than a complete lack of hope.
I gotta leave, I gotta go,
Expressing the need to leave and move on.
There's nothing here for me no more
Acknowledging a lack of fulfillment or satisfaction in the current situation.
As our time slips further from my grasp
Feeling the passage of time and a loss of control over it.
Your words keep pulling me back
Despite the speaker's decision, the words or memories of the person are still powerful.
But my mind's made up
Asserting a firm decision despite emotional attachments.
I gotta be
Expressing the need to find a space for self-expression and authenticity.
Somewhere that i can just be me
Desiring a place where the speaker can be true to themselves.
Remember the time at the ICU, my wounds were freshly sewn
Recalling a specific moment, likely in a hospital setting, where the speaker was vulnerable.
You worried much if I ever recover from the sedative
Describing concern from the person about the speaker's recovery.
And I knew your hand was the one I would rather squeeze
Expressing a preference for the comfort and support of the person's hand in times of vulnerability.
Than to never hold again at all
Choosing the pain of holding the person's hand again over not holding it at all.
