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.
