Shallow
Navigating Shallow Waters of Solitude: Poets of the Fall's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
More in my face than is my taste
Feeling overwhelmed by something more intense than one prefers.
I grow so weary I'll surrender
Experiencing fatigue and being ready to give in or submit.
to what they say Let them lead the way
Being willing to follow others' guidance and let them lead.
Till' I can no longer remember
Continuing to follow until memory fades, losing connection to personal dreams.
my darling dreams Prewritten scenes,
Referring to dreams and scenes that were preconceived or not genuinely felt.
whatever felt my own
Expressing a lack of authenticity in personal experiences.
So to save face I'll take my place
Maintaining a facade to avoid embarrassment or shame.
Where I may safely feel alone
Seeking a place where one can be alone and feel secure.
Glad the waters are so shallow
Expressing relief that challenges are not too deep, making it easier to navigate difficulties.
When the river runs so cold
-Glad the waters are so shallow
-When the river runs cold
-Glad the waters are so shallow
-When the river runs so cold
-Glad the waters are so shallow
-When the river runs cold
-I'm quick to wait, and so to hate
Being quick to wait and harboring feelings of hatred.
They call me gracious for my patience
Receiving praise for patience while actually evading true emotions.
And I feel proud under that shroud
Feeling a sense of pride but only as a cover-up or disguise.
And all the while it's all evasion
Engaging in evasion as a way of dealing with situations.
Some humor here to fend off fear
Using humor to cope with fear and uncertainty.
And I'm a little more lost, oh dear
Feeling increasingly lost despite attempts to maintain composure.
So to save face I'll hold my place
Maintaining a facade to avoid embarrassment or shame.
So I may safely feel alone
Choosing to remain in a particular position for the sake of feeling secure.
Glad the waters are so shallow
Reiterating the relief that challenges are not too deep, making it easier to navigate difficulties.
When the river runs so cold
-Glad the waters are so shallow
-When the river runs cold
-Glad the waters are so shallow
-When the river runs so cold
-Glad the waters are so shallow
-When the river runs cold
