POOL OF LOVE
Drowning in Uncertainty: POOL OF LOVE by Julianna Zachariou
Lyrics
my senses are desensitized
Feeling a reduced sensitivity; emotional numbing.
I'm numb from my head to my heart
Experiencing numbness from the mind to the emotions.
and I hear the ringing of a beautiful feeling
Hearing a resonant emotion but uncertain about its origin.
but that sweet bell won't tell from where it calls
Unable to determine the source of a beautiful feeling.
'cause I don't know if I love you
Expressing uncertainty about whether love exists.
or if my heart's just feeling alone
Questioning if feelings stem from love or loneliness.
I can't tell if I'm drowning
Unable to discern drowning emotions from the pool of love.
or if in the pool of love I'm sinking like a stone
Uncertain if sinking in love or sinking like a stone.
I'm sifting through all the ashes
Sorting through the remnants of past experiences.
of stories I've mixed in the fire
Reviewing narratives mixed in the fire of life.
just trying to make some more sense of the Ache
Attempting to make sense of emotional pain.
do I hurt for you or hurt ‘cause I'm a liar?
Questioning if the ache is for someone else or due to deceit.
'cause I don't know if I love you
Reiterating uncertainty about the presence of love.
or if my heart's just feeling alone
Wondering if the heart feels alone rather than in love.
I can't tell if I'm drowning
Unable to distinguish drowning emotions from love.
or if in the pool of love I'm sinking like a stone
Questioning if sinking in love or sinking like a stone.
my lungs will let in the water
Imagining the inhalation of emotional water into the lungs.
fill up with blue 'had's' and 'were's'
Envisioning emotions filling up and trapping memories.
and there i'll trap them till later
Intending to hold onto emotions until later reflection.
and breathe the vapors till I make it to the words
Planning to breathe in the emotional vapors to find words.
