i actually can't swim
Navigating Betrayal: Unraveling the Depths of 'i actually can't swim' by King Wizard
Lyrics
It was a some time in the morning can't remember when
Reflecting on a past moment in the morning with vague recollection.
Said a little last word and we cried still I lost in the end
Last words were said, tears were shed, and ultimately lost in the situation.
That little catch up we had when I tried to be a friend
Recalling a conversation attempting to be friendly.
Had little sparks in the air guess that meant nothing then
Noticed some sparks in the air during the conversation, seemingly insignificant.
Time bae, yeah I gave it time bae
Gave time to see if things would change while the other person distanced themselves.
See if it would change while you just headed out a mile away
Realized the person went a significant distance away during the given time.
Should've seen it coming when you started changing mind games
Should have anticipated changes in behavior and mind games.
You tried pull me under, but I can't swim
Despite attempts to be pulled under emotionally, the person can't be swayed.
You tried to drown me out when I tried to be a friend
During attempts at friendship, faced resistance and attempts to silence.
You tried to lead me on when I had nothing then
Accusation of misleading when the person had nothing to offer.
You tried to drown me out when I tried to be a friend
Repetition of resistance to emotional drowning during attempts at friendship.
You tried to lead me on when I had nothing then
Repetition of accusation of misleading when the person had nothing to offer.
Time was on the side of the enemy
Time seemed against the person, influenced by external factors.
I was blinded by all the other things right front of me
Blinded to reality by other distractions in life.
Yeah time
Reiteration of the impact of time working against the person.
Time was on the side of the enemy
Reiteration of the feeling that time is an adversary.
Let the clock run and see who's gone before the buzzer beats
Letting time pass to see who remains before a significant event.
Youuu
Addressing the person who caused difficulties.
Tried to make me a fool
Accusation of trying to make the person appear foolish.
Now it's because of youu
Attributing personal struggles to the actions of the other person.
That I'm gonna go right under
Expressing the feeling of going under emotionally but unable to swim.
But I can't swim
Reiteration of the inability to swim despite attempts to drown emotionally.
You tried to drown me out when I tried to be a friend
Resistance to emotional drowning during attempts at friendship.
You tried to lead me on when I had nothing then
Accusation of misleading when the person had nothing to offer, repeated.
You tried to drown me out when I tried to be a friend
Repetition of resistance to emotional drowning during attempts at friendship.
You tried to lead me on when I had nothing then
Repetition of accusation of misleading when the person had nothing to offer.
Damn
An expression of frustration or disappointment.
You tried to drown me out when I tried to be a friend
Repetition of resistance to emotional drowning during attempts at friendship.
You tried to lead me on when I had nothing then
Repetition of accusation of misleading when the person had nothing to offer.
You tried to drown me out when I tried to be a friend
Repetition of resistance to emotional drowning during attempts at friendship.
You tried to lead me on when I had nothing then
Repetition of accusation of misleading when the person had nothing to offer.
So Let me drown
An emotional plea to be allowed to drown, perhaps giving in to despair.
So Let me drown
Repetition of the emotional plea to be allowed to drown.
So Let me drown
-Cause you don't care no more
The realization that the other person no longer cares.
So let me drown
Reiteration of the plea to be allowed to drown due to the perceived lack of care.
