Turn Down Elliot
Echoes of Self-Loss: Turn Down Elliot by Poison the Well
Lyrics
With every part of mine
Expressing a connection with every part of oneself.
Fall away with every bit of you
Feeling a gradual loss as each part of the other person fades away.
I miss me
Reflecting on a sense of self that seems to be missing or lost.
Give me some place to find
Seeking a place or space to discover or reclaim.
I'll meet cold everyday
Experiencing a cold and distant reality on a daily basis.
Think of all I need you around
Thinking about the essential need for the presence of the other person.
But for now anyways
Acknowledging the current state but suggesting a temporary nature.
Hands held tight around me leave me
Feeling a tight grip of hands around oneself, yet it leaves a sense of isolation.
Hands held tight around me
Repetition of the tight grip of hands, emphasizing its impact.
With every part of mine

Fall away with every bit of you

I miss me

Give me some place to find

I'll meet cold everyday
Enduring a cold and distant reality on a daily basis.
Think of all I need you around
Continuing to recognize the essential need for the presence of the other person.
But for now anyway
Reaffirming the temporary nature of the current state.
Hands held tight around me leave me

I'll hang neck tight from anything for you
