Into The Deep
Drowning in Silence: Magik Merlin's Poetic Descent
Lyrics
Yeah Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
(Came From Zero)
Indication of a starting point, possibly a reference to a challenging situation.
Paint my blood black and blue now I'm bleeding
Metaphorical description of emotional pain and suffering.
Paint my face red but leave out the pink
Symbolic depiction of emotions using colors, with an omission of a softer emotion (pink).
You went over my head then left me there sinking
Feeling abandoned and betrayed after being ignored or misunderstood.
How could you?
Questioning the actions of someone who caused emotional distress.
Take away my lifeline now I
Expressing a loss of a crucial support system or source of strength.
Fall into the deep
Symbolic descent into emotional or psychological turmoil.
You take away my lifeline now I
Reiteration of the impact of losing a vital support system.
Fall into the deep
Continued descent into emotional turmoil.
You never cared about me you just like
Perception of indifference and detachment from the person causing distress.
To watch me when I sink
Recognition of the spectator-like attitude of the person, enjoying the suffering.
So take away my lifeline, your eyes
Request to remove the lifeline, suggesting a desire to be free from the observer's gaze.
Watch me when I sink
Reiteration of being watched while experiencing difficulties.
When I sink
Emphasis on the challenging situation or emotional state.
Down under the
Transition to a metaphorical journey beneath the surface.
Under the water I go it's a thousand degrees in the negatives
Description of intense and adverse conditions during this metaphorical journey.
Hold your breath!
Urgent advice to brace oneself for a difficult experience.
I need a sedative to numb how I feel
Desire for something to ease or numb the emotional pain.
As I freeze in the frigid frost
Description of physical and emotional numbness in a challenging environment.
Losing touch with my fingertips
Sensory disconnection and loss of feeling.
If you would listen I'd tell you the things you don't hear when I talk
Expressing the need for understanding and empathy.
There's a fine line between a heartbeat and a flatline
Highlighting the delicate balance between life and death, joy and despair.
Check my heartbeat, you'll find I don't have mine
Confirmation of a lack of vitality or enthusiasm.
Paint my blood black and blue now I'm bleeding
Repetition of the metaphorical imagery of bleeding.
Paint my face red but leave out the pink
Repetition of the symbolic use of colors in expressing emotions.
You went over my head then left me there sinking
Recollection of being ignored and left to suffer.
How could you?
Continued questioning of the actions that led to the emotional turmoil.
Take away my lifeline now I
Reiteration of the impact of losing a vital support system.
Fall into the deep
Symbolic descent into emotional or psychological turmoil.
You take away my lifeline now I
Continued descent into emotional turmoil.
Fall into the deep
Repetition of the emotional descent, emphasizing the loss.
You never cared about me you just like
Perception of indifference and detachment from the person causing distress.
To watch me when I sink
Recognition of the spectator-like attitude of the person, enjoying the suffering.
So take away my lifeline, your eyes
Request to remove the lifeline, suggesting a desire to be free from the observer's gaze.
Watch me when I sink
Reiteration of being watched while experiencing difficulties.
Take away my lifeline, your eyes
Repetition of the request to remove the lifeline, emphasizing the gaze.
Watch me when I sink
Reiteration of being observed while sinking into difficulties.
When I sink in the deep
Emphasis on the depth of the emotional or psychological struggle.
When I sink
Reiteration of the challenging situation or emotional state.
Watch me when I sink
Final emphasis on being watched while going through difficulties.
