Lyrics
I'm lying here on the bathroom floor,
The singer is metaphorically lying on the bathroom floor, perhaps feeling emotionally or mentally overwhelmed.
Wishing it'd sink in
Expressing a desire for a realization or understanding of a situation.
I'm drowning in my own thoughts,
Feeling deeply overwhelmed by one's thoughts or emotions.
Don't ask for no Help
Refusing assistance or help despite struggling.
But I'm screaming on the inside,
Internally distressed and in need of external support.
For you to come and take my hand
Seeking someone's support or assistance.
I was so powerful at one time,
Reflecting on a past time of strength or confidence.
But now I'm drowning.
Feeling overwhelmed and helpless now, contrasting with past strength.
Watch the Tears fall by like a waterfall
Comparing tears falling to a waterfall, depicting the abundance of tears.
You ask me, the reason why
Questioning the reason behind emotional turmoil, possibly feeling uncertain.
I don't know at all
Admitting uncertainty or confusion about the cause of emotional distress.
I feel so powerful in this mess I've made
Feeling a sense of control or strength despite being in a chaotic situation.
I'm a hurricane
Metaphorically likening oneself to a powerful storm.
But I'm being swept away.
Despite feeling powerful, being overwhelmed and carried away by the situation.
There's a hole on the roof,
Describing a physical opening allowing light in, symbolizing hope or a new perspective.
cnd the light's coming in
Light coming into the situation despite personal struggles.
cnd I've told myself a couple of times,
Repeatedly convincing oneself that the struggle isn't worth it.
It's not worth fighting
Expressing doubt or a lack of belief in personal ability to overcome.
cnd oh no, I'm no superman,
Acknowledging limitations, not considering oneself as a hero figure.
But I'm trying to save myself as much as I can;
Trying to self-preserve despite feeling overwhelmed in a dark situation.
In this dark deep dying abyss I'm drowning in.
Feeling deeply submerged and overwhelmed in a dark, hopeless situation.
Watch the Tears fall by like a waterfall
Repetition of the comparison of tears to a waterfall.
You ask me, the reason why
Reiterating the uncertainty about the cause of emotional distress.
I don't know at all
Continued admission of not knowing the reason behind the turmoil.
I feel so powerful in this mess I've made
Reaffirmation of feeling strong amidst chaos.
I'm a hurricane
Comparing oneself to a powerful storm yet being overwhelmed.
But I'm being swept away.
Being carried away despite feeling powerful.
You had colours bursting out and I picked you up off the ground
Describing helping someone who was struggling, perhaps reminiscing on past actions.
I feel empty now
Feeling a sense of emptiness after helping someone.
I was a sea filled to the brink, touch me and I'll take you in
Metaphorically portraying oneself as once abundant and inviting, but now feeling empty and withdrawn.
I feel powerless now
Feeling devoid of power or control.
I was the dust from the stars, helium with a little heart
Metaphorically describing oneself as something magnificent but currently deteriorating.
But I'm burning out, oh I'm burning out
Expressing a sense of burning out or fading away.
Watch the Tears fall by like a waterfall
Repeated comparison of tears to a waterfall, emphasizing the emotional overflow.
You ask me, the reason why
Reiterating the lack of understanding about emotional turmoil.
I don't know at all
Continued uncertainty about the reasons behind the emotional struggle.
I feel so powerful in this mess I've made
Feeling powerful despite being in a chaotic situation of one's own creation.
I'm a hurricane
Comparing oneself to a powerful storm yet being overwhelmed and carried away.
But I'm being swept away.
Feeling overwhelmed despite having powerful attributes.
