Calm Down
Find Serenity in Chaos: Unraveling the Meaning of Killing Heidi's 'Calm Down'
Lyrics
When your head is spinning and you're feeling overwhelmed,
Describing a state of confusion and feeling overwhelmed
And your ears are ringing 'cause your heart is beating so damn loud,
Sensory overload, heightened heartbeat causing ringing in ears
And your mind is numbing and your heart is pumping out,
Mental and emotional numbness, intense heart activity
Oh it feels like you're running but your feet won't touch the ground
Sensation of running without making progress
Calm down, calm down
Encouragement to calm down in a challenging situation
Now all my defences are down
Acknowledgment that all defenses are lowered
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Reiteration of the need to calm down
When it feels like you're tripping but you're not sure what about,
Uncertain feelings, a sense of tripping without clear cause
You just might be slipping, ice queen is melting down,
Reference to a change in demeanor, a thawing of emotional barriers
And the blood is pumping and your head is spinning round,
Increased blood flow, dizziness, and disorientation
And your heart is thumping and your tongue is hanging out
Intense heart activity and exhaustion
Calm down, calm down
Reiteration of the need to calm down
Now all my defences are down
Recognition that defenses are still lowered
Calm down, calm down
Repetition of the need to calm down
When you're feeling overwhelmed, again
Expressing a recurring feeling of being overwhelmed
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Repetition of the need to calm down
When your head is spinning and you're feeling overwhelmed,
Reiteration of a state of confusion and feeling overwhelmed
And your ears are ringing 'cause your heart is beating so damn loud
Repetition of sensory overload and intense heart activity
Calm down, calm down
Repetition of the need to calm down
Now all my defences are down
Acknowledgment that defenses are still lowered
Calm down, calm down
Reiteration of the need to calm down
Now you're feeling overwhelmed, again
Expressing a recurring feeling of being overwhelmed
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Repetition of the need to calm down
Come back, come back, come back
Invitation or plea for someone to come back
Come back, come back again
-Come back, come back, come back
-Come back, come back again
