Surface
Unveiling Depths: Kaleem Taylor's Profound Message in 'Surface'
Lyrics
These insecurities
Expressing personal insecurities
Shadowing me
Feeling overshadowed by insecurities
I don’t say how I feel
Reluctance to openly communicate feelings
Afraid to look weak
Fear of appearing vulnerable
But since you got close
Changes in the relationship have revealed differences
Differences show
Increased closeness exposes disparities
Nobody’s been where you go
No one has experienced what the other person is going through
You’re underneath the surface
Repetition emphasizing being hidden beneath the surface
You’re underneath the surface
-You’re underneath the surface
-You’re underneath the surface
-Things that I wouldn’t confess
Confessions withheld due to fear
You find way to accept
The partner accepts the confessions
You’re underneath the surface
Reiteration of being beneath the surface despite confessions
You’re underneath the surface
-I’ve had my share of defeats and difficulties
Past experiences of failures and challenges
You say can’t help me If I never speak
Partner can't help if problems aren't communicated
But since I showed my pain
Revealing personal pain has changed the dynamics
Nothing has been the same
Impact of sharing vulnerability
Nobody sees me this way
Feeling unseen in this new light
You’re underneath the surface
Reiteration of being beneath the surface
You’re underneath the surface
-You’re underneath the surface
-You’re underneath the surface
-Things that I wouldn’t confess
Confessions withheld due to fear
You find a way to accept
Acceptance by the partner despite the withheld confessions
You’re underneath the surface
Reiteration of being beneath the surface
You’re underneath the surface
-Let you in
Opening up to the partner
Everything out
Sharing everything openly
You keep it
The partner holds onto the shared information
All I give
Giving all without holding back
I don’t miss out
No regrets about what is given
Anything
No restrictions on what is given
Up and down
Describing the journey through highs and lows
From the ground
-Through ceilings
-Inward out
-Ah yeah
-You’re underneath the surface
Reiteration of being beneath the surface
You’re underneath the surface
-You’re underneath the surface
-You’re underneath the surface
-Things that I wouldn’t confess
Confessions withheld due to fear
You find way to accept
Acceptance by the partner despite the withheld confessions
You’re underneath the surface
Final reiteration of being beneath the surface
You’re underneath the surface
