Sunk
Unveiling Heartache: My Giddy Aunt's 'Sunk' Emotionally Resonates
Lyrics
It's been days, it's been weeks, it's been months
Expressing the passage of time – days, weeks, and months without seeing the person.
Since I've seen you
Highlighting the absence of the person and the impact it has.
It's been a haze, I've been asleep, it's been too much
Describing a state of confusion or disorientation, possibly due to the separation.
I feel run through
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted from the experience.
From far across the ocean, I wish I could see you watch me
Expressing a desire for the person's attention and acknowledgment from a distance.
Bury my emotions
Choosing to suppress or hide emotions, possibly to avoid vulnerability.
But the truth is I've been numb
Admitting emotional numbness or detachment from the situation.
From the moment that I saw you leave
Referring to the emotional impact of seeing the person leave.
Cause it hasn't sunk in yet
Stating that the realization of the departure hasn't fully set in.
No it hasn't sunk in yet
Reiterating the delayed emotional impact of the departure.
It just hasn't sunk in yet
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to comprehend the departure.
No it hasn't sunk in yet
Repeating the theme of the departure not sinking in.
The contradiction we're all living is how we have to keep on giving
Reflecting on the paradox of giving to those who may eventually leave.
To the people who will leave us
Anticipating the possibility of regret when people depart.
You won't regret til it's too late
Emphasizing the delayed realization of regret.
There's always more time til there ain't
Highlighting the illusion of endless time until it runs out.
And now the closest thing you have to home is a couple inches of packing foam
Describing a sense of displacement and the lack of a true home.
And it makes you fall apart
Expressing emotional breakdown or vulnerability.
Cause now a phony optimism is trying to convince yourself it's living
Noting the superficiality of optimism in the face of heartbreak.
But it breaks your heart
Conveying the emotional pain caused by false optimism.
Cause it hasn't sunk in yet
Reiterating the delayed realization of the departure's impact.
No it hasn't sunk in yet
Continuing the theme of the departure not fully sinking in.
It just hasn't sunk in yet
Repeating the struggle to comprehend the departure emotionally.
No it hasn't sunk in yet
Stressing the ongoing difficulty in accepting the departure.
If I could send you this song in a bottle
Imagining a symbolic gesture of sending a message in a bottle to reach the person.
I would
Expressing a willingness to make an effort to communicate despite the distance.
I'd search the whole world
Conveying a commitment to search for answers or understanding.
For an answer
Expressing a desire for clarity or resolution regarding the separation.
It just hasn't sunk in yet
Reiterating the delayed emotional impact of the departure.
No it hasn't sunk in yet
Continuing the theme of the departure not fully sinking in.
It just hasn't sunk in yet
Repeating the ongoing struggle to comprehend the departure emotionally.
