Choked Up
Choked Up: Exploring the Depths of Emotion in Matt Stedman's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
My thoughts are way too deep
Feeling overwhelmed by deep thoughts
Sometimes I wish I could fly
Expressing a desire for escapism or freedom
When I’m fast asleep
Dreaming and contemplating during sleep
But I’m staring at the backs of my eyes
Introspection, self-examination, feeling detached
Sweet melodies
Creative ideas and emotions emerging
Pouring from my head and my chest
Emotional expression through music
Chords and somber leads
Reflecting on both joyful and melancholic aspects
As I lay my soul to rest
Preparing for a restful state of the soul
It’s over now
Acceptance of a situation's conclusion
There’s nothing I can say
Recognizing a lack of words to change the outcome
I’m all choked up
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or speechless
So it wouldn’t matter anyway
Emphasizing the insignificance of words in this state
There’s a hole inside me that I need to fill
Sensing a void within, a need for fulfillment
I looked into your eyes and for a moment time stood still
Experiencing a profound connection in a gaze
I can feel your heartbeat
Physical closeness and shared heartbeat
As you pull me close to keep you warm
Seeking warmth and comfort in each other
But soon you’ll have to leave
Awareness of an impending difficult situation
Cus’ there’s a calm before the storm
Anticipating challenges before a period of calm
Just lay here with me
Desiring shared moments despite upcoming separation
Talk about our day to pass the time
Engaging in conversation to pass the time
And as we fall asleep
Shared dreams and aspirations during sleep
We dream about floating on a sea of wine
Imagining a blissful and serene experience
It’s over now
Reiteration of acceptance and closure
There’s nothing I can say
Repeating the inability to change the situation verbally
I’m all choked up
Revisiting the overwhelming, speechless state
So it wouldn’t matter anyway
Reiterating the futility of words in the current state
You can’t see the light
Not perceiving hope or positivity
Cus’ it’s far too dim
Describing a dim and challenging situation
I can’t save you from drowning
Expressing inability to rescue someone in need
If I don’t know how to swim
Metaphorically addressing the limitations in helping
I’m all choked up so it wouldn’t matter anyway
Summarizing the overwhelming emotional state
