Pull Me Under
Yearning for Home: Matt Cardle's Cry for Rescue in 'Pull Me Under'
Lyrics
Truth, dares, girls for which I never really cared
Disregard or lack of genuine interest in certain girls or relationships
Affairs to forget
Extramarital relationships or connections that one wants to forget
A search for ends that never really met
A quest for goals or resolutions that were never achieved or fulfilled
If I could only find this feeling
An intense desire to discover a particular emotion or sensation
And find a love beyond this dream
To find a love that transcends the boundaries of a mere dream or imagination
It’s never been so clear that
The realization or understanding of something becoming very evident
I need someone to pull me under
A plea or desire for someone to immerse or involve them deeply in something
I need someone, I start to wonder
Questioning whether someone will initiate thoughts or contemplation
Will I ever stop skipping like a stone
Wondering if the cycle of restlessness or instability will ever cease
My heart keeps skipping like a stone
Continued reference to the heart's restlessness or unease
On the calmest river keep on
Continuous movement or progression without interruption, akin to a skipping stone
And I’ll never break the surface
A vow or determination not to reveal vulnerability or true feelings until a certain point
‘Till it feels like home
Delaying the disclosure of emotions until a situation or environment becomes familiar or comforting
Truth, dares, lust, affairs, girls for which I never cared
A repetition of previous sentiments regarding relationships and endeavors
Success, deceit, lies, defeat making ends that never meet
Mentions various elements contributing to the inability to reach desired outcomes
I’ve been found, lost, paid the cost, a skipping stone that gathered moss
A description of personal experiences involving being lost, found, and paying the price for past actions
Trying to keep my heart above the water
Struggling to keep oneself emotionally afloat or above hardships
If I could only find this feeling
Similar to line 5, expressing a longing or pursuit for a particular feeling
And find a love beyond this dream
Desire to experience a love that surpasses mere dreams or fantasies
It’s never been so clear that
Reiteration of the heightened clarity in understanding or realization
I need someone to pull me under
A repeated plea for someone to deeply involve or engage with them
I need someone, I start to wonder
A question about the possibility of initiating thoughts or reflections
Will I ever stop skipping like a stone
Querying if the cycle of restlessness or instability will ever cease (repeated theme)
My heart keeps skipping like a stone
Continued reference to the heart's restlessness or unease (repeated theme)
On the calmest river keep on
Continued movement or progression without interruption, akin to a skipping stone (repeated theme)
And I’ll never break the surface
Reiteration of determination not to reveal vulnerability until a certain point (repeated theme)
‘Till it feels like home
Delaying the disclosure of emotions until a situation or environment becomes familiar or comforting (repeated theme)
‘Till it feels like home
Repetition emphasizing the need for a situation to feel like home before revealing vulnerability (repeated theme)
I need someone to pull me under
Reiteration of the plea for someone to deeply involve or engage with them (repeated theme)
I need someone, I start to wonder
A question about the possibility of initiating thoughts or reflections (repeated theme)
Will I ever stop skipping like a stone
Querying if the cycle of restlessness or instability will ever cease (repeated theme)
My heart keeps skipping like a stone
Continued reference to the heart's restlessness or unease (repeated theme)
On the calmest river keep on
Continued movement or progression without interruption, akin to a skipping stone (repeated theme)
And I’ll never break the surface
Reiteration of determination not to reveal vulnerability until a certain point (repeated theme)
‘Till it feels like home
Delaying the disclosure of emotions until a situation or environment becomes familiar or comforting (repeated theme)
