The Cold
Caught in the Eye of Longing
Lyrics
I’m drowning on land
I feel overwhelmed and suffocated in my surroundings.
The place your heart abandoned mine
Your heart has abandoned mine, leaving me emotionally deserted.
I wear these features we share
I carry the physical and emotional traits that connect us.
You put them all to sleep on me tonight
You've caused all these shared features to become dormant or inactive in me tonight.
Each hello is so sweet and delicate
Greetings from you are pleasant and fragile.
And each wave goodbye is a hurricane
Farewells from you are intense and turbulent.
And I’m caught in the eye
I find myself in the middle of a storm or difficult situation.
I want you to
Encouraging you to face the situation.
Lean into it
Encouraging you to confront the challenge.
When there’s no escape
When there seems to be no way out.
Lean into it or turn away
Either face the challenge or turn away from it.
A red sky morning
Describing a morning with a red sky, typically a warning for sailors.
Sailors take warning
Highlighting the unpleasantness when loneliness takes over.
It’s ugly when the loneliness sets in
Loneliness becomes ugly when it sets in.
The time was short but I couldn’t be bothered
The time spent together was brief, and I was indifferent to carrying the burden of your problems.
To carry the weight of your monsters
I won't bear the weight of your troubles.
I feel your hunger and it’s not foreign
I understand your desire, and it's familiar to me.
There’s something beautiful in being blind
Finding beauty in not seeing or acknowledging certain things.
And I’m caught in the eye
Reiterating being caught in a challenging situation.
I’m caught in the eye (High)
Repetition of being caught in a difficult situation, emphasizing intensity.
High
Referring to emotional highs.
Highs and Lows obey alike
Emotional highs and lows obey similar patterns.
Within your darkness, I’m your light
In your darkness, I serve as your guiding light.
The undertows can’t change my mind
Challenges cannot change my commitment to you.
You can push and pull
You can influence me, but with elegance, I will adapt and endure.
But with grace, I'll roll and...
Encouraging to face challenges gracefully.
Lean into it when there’s no escape
Reiterating the need to confront challenges when there's no easy way out.
Lean into it or turn away
Face challenges or turn away, emphasizing choice.
Lean into it when there’s no escape
Repeating the idea of confronting challenges without an escape.
