Under
Embracing the Abyss: Unraveling the Depths of Mike Snyder's 'Under'
Lyrics
Slowly, but surely I'm fallin' down
Expressing a gradual descent or decline in a situation or emotion.
Lonely don't mean there's no one else around
Being alone doesn't necessarily imply no one else is present; there's a sense of emotional isolation.
Oh no
Confirmation of the previous line, possibly emphasizing the feeling of loneliness.
Well I need you to take over right now
A plea for someone to take control or provide support in the current situation.
I feel it coming over me
Sensing a change or an emotional shift that is approaching.
Oh every move I make
Despite efforts, there's a pattern of making mistakes in every action taken.
I always find a way to make it wrong
Continuing to find ways to go wrong despite intentions.
Oh yeah
A reaffirmation of the tendency to make mistakes or face challenges.
Oh totally insane, I know where it'll end if it goes on
Acknowledging a state of mental distress or instability, with awareness of potential consequences.
But I'm older, I'm older now
Reflecting on the passage of time and the impact it has on the speaker.
Who is it again that I'm suppose to be
Questioning one's identity and purpose.
Could I feel the same without you
Exploring the emotional dependence on someone or something.
Oh I need to go home
An expressed desire to return to a place of comfort or familiarity.
Could you call my name when I found you
Requesting recognition or attention from someone specific.
'Cause I feel alone
Feeling a sense of loneliness and isolation.
Now will I go under, buried inside my memories
Anticipating a difficult or challenging period, with a metaphorical reference to being buried in memories.
Remember when the thunder used to bring me to my knees
Recalling a time when challenges were overwhelming and brought the speaker to a vulnerable state.
Oh yeah
Reiterating the impact of past difficulties on the speaker.
Well could you love me even when I'm lost
Pleading for love and support even in times of confusion or being lost.
When I'm lost, oh no
Recognizing the desirability of love despite understanding the potential difficulties.
It'd be lovely, but I know the cost
Acknowledging that love comes at a cost, possibly emotional or personal sacrifice.
Of your love
Emphasizing the value and importance of the mentioned love.
Could I feel the same without you
Revisiting the theme of emotional dependence and the impact of a significant other.
Oh I need to go home
Expressing a longing for a place of comfort or familiarity.
Could you call my name when I found you
Seeking acknowledgment or attention when in need.
'Cause I feel alone
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness and isolation.
Well here goes nothing to all the fears I have
Facing fears and uncertainties with a sense of courage or resignation.
Here goes nothing
A repeated expression of embarking on an uncertain path.
Is there something that's holding me back
Questioning if there are obstacles preventing progress or growth.
I know there's something
Acknowledging the presence of an unidentified barrier or hindrance.
Tell me it's something
Expressing a desire for clarity or understanding regarding the obstacle.
Well I just know there's something coming from under
Sensing an impending challenge or threat emerging from an unknown source.
Well I just know there's something
Reiterating the awareness of an upcoming challenge or difficulty.
Oh no
A moment of realization or concern about the imminent challenge.
I know heartache is coming and it's leaving me in wonder
Expecting heartache and finding it perplexing or astonishing.
But is it really me that's taking me under
Questioning whether the speaker's actions or choices are causing the emotional turmoil.
But is it really me that's taking me under
Reiterating the self-reflection on the potential role in personal challenges or struggles.
