It's Not Mine
Navigating the Abyss: Luke Petruzzi's 'It's Not Mine' Unveiled
Lyrics
Under the water
Being submerged or overwhelmed by a situation
Flooding the blue
Being immersed in sadness or troubles
No turning back now
Reaching a point of no return in a circumstance
All that you do
All actions taken or choices made
It’s all that you do
Emphasizing the repetition of a particular action
All that you do
Reiterating the significance of one's actions
They’re dying on camera
People experiencing suffering or hardship on screen
And looking to you
Those in distress looking for guidance
Throwing your hands up
Expressing frustration or helplessness
You’re staring right through
Observing a situation without actively participating
You’re staring right through
Repeated emphasis on passive observation
Staring right through
Intensifying the idea of distant observation
You’ll admit that we’re falling
Recognizing a collective descent or decline
And we’re so short on time
Acknowledging limited time in the face of challenges
When the onus is on us
When responsibility falls upon us
It’s not mine
Disclaiming ownership or responsibility
You’ll admit that we’re falling
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a decline
And we’re so short on time
Highlighting the urgency due to time constraints
When our beauty is broken
When our sense of attractiveness or goodness is damaged
It’s not mine
Disclaiming ownership of the broken beauty
Under the water
Repeating the metaphor of being submerged or overwhelmed
Flooding the blue
Emphasizing the depth of emotional inundation
No turning back now
Reaffirming the irreversible nature of the situation
All that you do
Reiteration of the impact of all actions
You’ll admit that we’re falling
Acknowledging the shared experience of decline
And we’re so short on time
Highlighting the pressure of limited time
When the onus is on us
When the responsibility is collectively on us
It’s not mine
Repeating the disclaimer of non-ownership
You’ll admit that we’re falling
Reaffirming the recognition of a shared decline
And we’re so short on time
Stressing the urgency due to time constraints
When our beauty is broken
When our sense of attractiveness or goodness is damaged
It’s not mine
Disclaiming ownership of the broken beauty
You’ll admit that we’re falling
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of a decline
And we’re so short on time
Highlighting the pressure of limited time
When our beauty is broken
When our sense of attractiveness or goodness is damaged
It’s not mine
Disclaiming ownership of the broken beauty
