Flight of Emotions: Battling Unyielding Circumstances
Lyrics
On a plane, somewhere over the sea
Reflecting on being in flight, possibly physically and emotionally detached from a situation.
Above the rain, the bottle sets me free
Using alcohol to escape or cope with difficulties.
I turn to stone, fall back in my seat
Feeling emotionally numb or unresponsive.
The cuts are gone but somehow I'm still bleeding
Despite wounds healing, the emotional pain persists.
You know it's true
An acknowledgment of a known truth.
There's nothing I can do about you
A sense of helplessness or inability to change a situation related to someone.
Move to France
Fantasizing about escaping to France, creating a false sense of peace by erasing reminders of someone.
La Rochelle or Nice
-Get a house
-Pretend to live in peace
-Paint the walls
-A blackout of your face
-Stalk the halls
-Then move into the basement
-You know its true
Reiteration of an acknowledged truth about the situation.
There's nothing I can do
Acceptance of inability to alter the situation with someone.
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
Recognizing the futility of arguing or reasoning, acknowledging powerlessness in this dynamic.
Walk away, there's nothing I can say
-You know it's true
-There's nothing I can do about you
-So don't you mind the gap when you leave
Advising to disregard the separation when departing, implying a chance to reconsider the departure.
There'll be time enough to turn tail tomorrow
-Broken up like tanker on the rocks
Comparing personal resilience to a damaged ship and a sports team, possibly feeling inadequate or defeated.
Not made of much
-I'm like the Cubs against the Sox
-On a plane, somewhere over the sea
Falling asleep with a feeling of suffocation or anxiety.
I fall asleep convinced that I ain't breathing
-You know it's true
Reiterating the acknowledgment of helplessness in the situation.
There's nothing I can do
Repeating the acknowledgment of inability to change or influence the dynamic with someone.
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
-Walk away, there's nothing I can say
-You know it's true
-There's nothing I can do about you
-So don't you mind the gap when you leave
Reiterating advice about departure, suggesting time for reconsideration or reconciliation.
There'll be time enough to turn tail tomorrow
