Lyrics
Emma's come down.
Emma has arrived or come down from a heightened emotional state.
She's stopped the light
Her inner light or vitality has dimmed.
Shining out of her eyes.
She's lost the sparkle or enthusiasm in her eyes.
Emma's been run out on.
Emma has been abandoned or left behind.
She's breaking down
She's emotionally breaking down in multiple ways.
In so many places,
Experiencing difficulties or vulnerabilities in various aspects.
Stuck in low gear
Feeling stuck in a slow, difficult situation due to fears.
Because of her fears
Her fears are hindering progress or movement.
Of the skidding wheels,
Metaphorical representation of her feeling out of control and skidding in life, lacking stability and direction.
(The skid of her wheels she feels.)
-Skidding wheels,
-(The skid of her wheels she feels.)
-Spinning wheels.
-(Wheel-skidding feeling.)
-Her heart is there,
Her emotional center is present, but circumstances hinder her control over it.
But they've greased the road.
-Her heart is out there,
-But she's no control.
-Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
Encouragement to embrace one's potential and not let fears inhibit progress or happiness.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.
-Don't drive too slowly.
-Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
-Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
-(She's losing, she's losing, she's losing, she's losing)
She's losing her inner strength or passion rapidly.
She's losing that inner flame.
-It was burning bright,
-But she's losing the light fast.
-She's only herself to blame.
Recognizing personal responsibility for her situation but overwhelmed by emotions.
Well, take care of yourself,
-And remember Georgie.
-But she's so O.D.'d on weeping
-She can hardly see
-That she's dropping beads.
Symbolic imagery of dropping or losing something important, stained with pain or emotional turmoil.
(Red, red glass is bleeding.)
-Dropping beads.
-(Red, red glass is bleeding.)
-Dropping beads.
-(Red, red on the parquet.)
-Her heart is there,
Reiteration of her emotional center being present but circumstances inhibit control.
But they've greased the road.
-Her heart is out there,
-But she's no control.
-Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
Repeated encouragement to overcome obstacles and not let emotions impede progress.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.
-Don't drive too slowly.
-Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
-Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
