Expectations
Breaking Expectations: A Liberation from Confining Pressures
Lyrics
You lock me up with your expectations
You confine me with your anticipated standards and hopes
You lock me up with your expectations
Reiteration of feeling restricted by expectations
Loosen the pressure you choked me with
Ease the intense constraints and demands that suffocate me
I can't breathe
Expressing a feeling of being stifled and constrained
I can't breathe
Reiteration of the suffocating feeling, emphasizing difficulty breathing
You stripped my heart with your accusations
Your accusations have exposed and wounded my emotional core
You shut me into an affectation
You've confined me to an artificial behavior or appearance
Loosen the pressure you choked me with
Request to alleviate the intense pressure imposed by accusations
I can't breathe
Emphasizing the breathlessness caused by the pressure
I can't breathe
Reiteration of the suffocating impact of accusations
Let me pull down on your high ideals
Request to bring down unrealistic and lofty ideals
To sweet earth honest and wide
To embrace a more grounded, honest, and expansive perspective
Tumble with me in an undoubted craze
Invite to experience a wild and genuine enthusiasm together
Don't hold back the tide
Encouraging not to suppress or control natural forces
You might get caught in sweet captivation
Warns about being captivated by overly sweet or unrealistic attractions
If you let your mind take this aberration
Suggests embracing a deviation from the norm without fear
Loosen the pressure you choked me with
Repeat of the plea to release the stifling pressure
I can't breathe
Reiteration of the difficulty breathing due to pressure
I can't breathe
Emphasizes the breathlessness caused by ongoing pressure
You lock me up with your accusations
Similar to line 7, expressing confinement through accusations
You lock me up with your accusations
Repetition of feeling locked up by accusations
You lock me up
Reiteration of being locked up, possibly emphasizing the repetitive nature
You lock me up
Continuation of the emphasis on feeling confined and restricted
You lock me up
Final repetition, possibly emphasizing the enduring impact of confinement
