Undertow
Drowning in the Undertow of Love
Lyrics
Silent stream
The flow of thoughts or emotions is quiet and unspoken.
Sleeping per chance to dream
Sleeping, perhaps to dream, indicating a state of rest or escape.
Only time can change
Only time has the power to bring about change.
A broken man like me
Time is the force that can transform a broken individual.
Reeling through space again
Moving through space without a clear destination.
Knowing where I might land
Uncertainty about where one might end up.
Could be the end of
Possibly facing the conclusion of a journey.
The road I've traveled by
Reflecting on the path traveled so far.
Only time can change
Emphasizing that only time can bring change to a broken person.
A broken man like me
Reiteration of the idea that time has the power to heal.
Let it be me
An appeal for someone to be involved or connected.
You're all I've wanted
Expressing a desire for someone special.
From the moment I
The moment when the speaker let go of rational thought.
Switched off my conscious
Switching off consciousness, indicating surrender or escape.
And now I float silent and free
A sense of floating freely without constraints.
(I'm drowning)
An additional note of feeling overwhelmed or submerged.
In this undertow
A powerful current of emotions or circumstances.
Stealing my breath away
This powerful force is taking away the speaker's breath.
Waking up
Awakening to the challenges and difficulties.
Surely I've had enough
Feeling that the challenges have become too much to bear.
But this nightmare grips me tighter every time
A recurring nightmare that tightens its grip with each occurrence.
Struggling to break its hold
Fighting against the hold of the recurring nightmare.
Doing as I am told
Obediently following instructions or expectations.
Realizing age alone won't be what saves me now
Realization that age alone may not save the speaker from challenges.
Only love can melt
Love has the power to thaw and heal a frozen or cold-hearted person.
A frozen man like me
Reiteration that only love can bring about this transformation.
Let it be me
Repetition of the plea for someone special to be involved.
You're all I've wanted
Reiteration of the desire for someone special.
From the moment I
Recalling the moment of letting go of rational thought.
Switched off my conscious
Repeating the act of switching off consciousness.
And now I float silent and free
Continuing to feel free and unconstrained.
(I'm drowning)
A renewed sense of being overwhelmed or submerged.
In this undertow
A powerful current of emotions or circumstances.
Stealing my breath away
The force is still taking away the speaker's breath.
Let it be me
Reiteration of the plea for someone special to be involved.
You're all I've wanted
Repetition of the desire for someone special.
From the moment I
Recalling the moment of letting go of rational thought.
Switched off my conscious
Repeating the act of switching off consciousness.
And now I float silent and free
Continuing to feel free and unconstrained.
(I'm drowning)
A renewed sense of being overwhelmed or submerged.
In this undertow
A powerful current of emotions or circumstances.
Stealing my breath away
The force is still taking away the speaker's breath.
