I Feel The Weight
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Burden of Lost Love in 'I Feel The Weight'
Lyrics
I've been waiting all night just to see her
The speaker has eagerly waited throughout the night to see a person.
I've been touching her, but I still can't feel her
Despite physical contact, there is a sense of emotional distance, as the speaker can't truly feel the person.
I've been trying to get myself off of the floor now
The speaker is making an effort to rise from a difficult or low point.
And I'm so far out, I can't see the shore now
Feeling disoriented or lost, the speaker is metaphorically far from the familiar and stable ("shore").
And it's only me to blame
The speaker takes responsibility for their situation, acknowledging self-blame.
'Cause I pushed the truth away
Consciously avoiding or denying the truth has led to the current circumstances.
And pretended to be happy
The speaker feigned happiness, pretending to be content when they were not.
Tonight, I have to say
Expressing a realization that tonight, honesty is necessary.
I feel the weight
The speaker acknowledges the emotional burden they are experiencing.
I feel the weight
The weight is reiterated, emphasizing its impact on the speaker.
I feel the weight of a love that's gone away
The weight is specifically associated with the absence or loss of love.
I feel the weight
The repetition underscores the intensity of the emotional burden.
I've been wondering what is freedom
The speaker reflects on the concept of freedom and questions its nature.
Is it checking out from all you're feeling?
Freedom is questioned as potentially disconnecting from emotions or responsibilities.
Is it feeling OK 'cause you're not running
Freedom is pondered in the context of feeling okay without evading personal issues.
From the boring person that you're becoming?
The speaker contemplates whether avoiding personal growth results in becoming uninteresting.
And it's only me to blame
Similar to earlier, the speaker takes responsibility for avoiding the truth.
'Cause I pushed the truth away
Denial and avoidance have contributed to the speaker's current state.
And pretended to be happy
Reiteration of pretending to be happy while concealing true emotions.
Tonight, I have to say
Emphasizes the necessity of acknowledging the truth tonight.
I feel the weight
The weight of emotional burden is strongly felt by the speaker.
I feel the weight
Repetition intensifies the emotional weight being experienced.
I feel the weight of a love that's gone away
The weight is linked to the departure or loss of love.
I feel the weight
The repetition underscores the enduring and impactful nature of the emotional burden.
