Lyrics
Used to be
Reflecting on the past
My daddy and me
Time spent with father
Building the pool
Constructing a pool
Padding under bare-feet
Feeling the ground with bare feet
Walls so high
High walls around the pool
No holes in it yet
No damages or openings yet
Those flower lights
Decorative flower lights
Electric and quiet
Electric lights creating a serene atmosphere
And I can't stop it
Feeling overwhelmed, unable to control something
It's coming over
Sensations or emotions becoming overpowering
I keep thinking
Continuously considering
I'm growing sober
Realizing a state of sobriety or clarity
I've already been
Already experienced a challenging situation
Off the deep end
Reached a critical or extreme point
I hold it like a pool
Holding onto something like a pool
In my hand
Symbolizing control or containment
And if I am made of
Considering composition (mostly water)
Sixty percent water
Questioning inability to float or stay afloat
How come I sink
Struggling to stay buoyant
When I try to swim
Confusion about inability to swim despite water composition
My lungs are filled
Spiritual reference to breathing holy substance
With holy water
Metaphorically filled with spirituality
He is screaming
Hearing someone's distress
That bird on the sidewalk
Observing a distressed bird
I don't know
Memory lapse regarding recent speech
What I said last
Uncertainty about last spoken words
I regret not being regret-less
Regretting the lack of being without regrets
