Lyrics

This is a little bit uncomfortable

This expresses a feeling of discomfort.

I hope we can be amicable

Hoping for a friendly resolution despite the discomfort.

But it's sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim when you're in, you know

Highlighting the pressure of a decisive moment, using "sink or swim" metaphorically.

You forget everything, everything, everything you know

Under stress, one may forget everything they know.

Everything you know

Reiterating the impact of stress on one's knowledge and understanding.


But there's a break in your voice that gives you away

Noticing a break in someone's voice, a sign of vulnerability.

Then a difficult choice of which words to say

Facing the challenge of choosing the right words in a difficult situation.

Cos it's just a word, just a word, just a word and then you're gone

Highlighting the transient nature of words and their limited effect.

And it's just a step, just a step, just a step and then you're gone

Emphasizing the fleeting nature of actions, using a step as a metaphor.

With only a step

Stressing the significance of each step taken.

With only a step

Repeating the importance of individual steps.


And you can crawl away

Suggesting the option to retreat or distance oneself.

You can run, you can go

Listing various ways to escape or deal with discomfort.

Is there nobody else anymore

Expressing a sense of isolation or abandonment.

You can throw away everything that you know

Suggesting the possibility of abandoning one's knowledge or past.

It's only a step away

Reiterating the importance of a single step in a decision-making process.


Is there nobody else anymore?

Pondering the absence of others in a challenging situation.


And you can crawl away

Reiterating the option to retreat or distance oneself.

You can run, you can go

Listing various ways to escape or deal with discomfort.

It's only a step away

Reiterating the importance of a single step in a decision-making process.

You can throw away everything that you know

Suggesting the possibility of abandoning one's knowledge or past.

Is there nobody else anymore?

Expressing a sense of isolation or abandonment.

And I knew this would be uncomfortable

Anticipating and acknowledging the discomfort in the situation.

Is there nobody else?

Pondering the absence of others in a challenging situation.

And you can throw away everything that you know

Suggesting the possibility of abandoning one's knowledge or past.

With only a step

Stressing the significance of each step taken.


It's only a step away

Emphasizing the fleeting nature of actions, using a step as a metaphor.
