Floating
Embracing Shadows: A Soul's Journey Through Despair and Redemption
Lyrics
The shower held me floating like a rock into the bottom
The shower experience is described as feeling weightless, like sinking to the bottom.
And I couldn't go on smiling
Unable to continue pretending to be happy or carefree.
Can't go on, I can't go on, can't go
Expressing difficulty in moving forward or persevering.
Dad, you don't understand
Addressee, possibly the speaker's father, is told that they don't comprehend the speaker's situation.
I'm a naked girl with issues
The speaker sees herself as vulnerable and troubled.
Standing sobbing in the shower
Depiction of the speaker crying in the shower.
Cant go on, I can't go on
Reiteration of the difficulty in continuing.
But there will be blood either way
Anticipation of a challenging situation, suggesting potential conflict.
Whether I show up or choose to fade
Decision between confronting the situation or withdrawing, with acknowledgment of consequences.
Don't leave me sinking leave me sinking leave me sinking
Plea not to be abandoned in a difficult state.
I warned her I'm on the edge
The speaker warns someone about their fragile emotional state.
She didn't mean to push me
Someone unintentionally pushed the speaker to the edge.
Now I'm sinking down I'm sinking down I'm sinking down
Descent into emotional turmoil.
I made you late to work again I cried under your covers
Acknowledgment of causing inconvenience to someone close.
I pushed you out of your own bed I didn't want to be a burden
The speaker expresses a desire not to burden others.
How could you see me like this?
Questioning how someone could witness the speaker's vulnerable state.
How could you see me sinking down, sinking down sinking down
Reiteration of sinking into emotional distress.
There will be blood either way
Anticipation of a difficult outcome, emphasizing the inevitability of consequences.
Whether I show up or choose to fade
Reiteration of the decision and its potential consequences.
Don't leave me sinking leave me sinking leave me sinking
Plea not to be abandoned despite the warning about emotional fragility.
I warned her I'm on the edge
Reiteration of the warning about being on the edge.
She didn't mean to push me
Someone unintentionally pushed the speaker, leading to further emotional decline.
Now I'm sinking down I'm sinking down I'm sinking down
Continuation of the emotional descent.
Made a choice three months ago to choose the pain that goes with staying
Decision made in the past to endure pain rather than leave, possibly in a relationship.
I guess this is what I signed
Acknowledgment of the consequences of the decision.
Seeing fear's face when I showed mine
Observing fear in others when revealing vulnerability.
Crying in my boyfriends bed
Crying in a significant other's bed, possibly indicating a close relationship.
Knowing that I can't go back
Acknowledgment of the inability to reverse certain choices.
I'm floating up I'm floating up I'm floating up
Transition to a state of floating upward, possibly indicating a positive change.
I'm floating up I'm floating up
Repetition of the idea of floating up, suggesting a sense of relief or liberation.
I'm floating up I'm floating up
-I'm floating up I'm floating up
-I'm floating up I'm floating up
-I'm floating up I'm floating up
-I'm floating up I'm floating up
-I'm floating
-I'm floating
-I'm floating
Final repetition of the theme of floating, possibly symbolizing emotional elevation.
