Lay Low: Unveiling the Complex Dance of Love and Pride
Lyrics
my loves bold, I just can't cover it up.
Expressing the boldness of love that cannot be hidden or suppressed.
we both know, we just don't talk enough.
Acknowledging a lack of communication in the relationship.
I'm on a payroll that takes a toll.
Being part of a demanding job that has a negative impact.
I eat my pride and I lay low.
Sacrificing one's ego and choosing to stay low-key or reserved.
fall face first when I'm feeling the love.
Falling deeply in love and being vulnerable to emotions.
my eyes wide shut when I'm thinking of us.
Closing one's eyes to the reality when thinking about the relationship.
I'm on a payroll that takes a toll.
Continuing the toll-taking job that affects personal well-being.
I eat my pride and I lay low.
Choosing humility and keeping pride in check by laying low.
I've been holding on for both of us
Enduring difficulties for the sake of both individuals in the relationship.
for far too long this time
Holding on for an extended period, emphasizing the strain.
and if I called you out you would cut me up
Fearing repercussions if confronting the partner about issues.
Just enough to lose my mind
Anticipating enough emotional damage to lose sanity.
and it goes on & on, on & on, on & on girl
Describing the continuous and seemingly endless nature of challenges in the relationship.
on & on, on & on, on & on girl
-on & on, on & on, on & on girl yeah
-struggle standing straight
Expressing difficulty maintaining stability without full support.
I need your full support
Desiring complete support from the partner.
too much to say
Feeling overwhelmed with too much to express verbally.
I don't think I can talk
Experiencing difficulty in communicating thoughts and feelings.
Dependency on you, I've never had before
Acknowledging a newfound dependence on the partner.
I got attachment issues & I think that it's my fault
Recognizing personal issues related to attachment.
You got me in the gutter
Describing a downward spiral in the relationship, with the speaker contemplating finding someone else.
Falling down the well once more love
-I had your conscious covered
-Never mind I'll find another
-(want someone to love, but always end up messing it up)
Expressing a recurring desire for love but acknowledging a pattern of ruining it.
(want someone to love, but always end up messing it up)
-I've been holding on for both of us
Reiterating the endurance of difficulties for both individuals in the relationship.
for far too long this time
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of holding on despite challenges.
and if I called you out you would cut me up
Highlighting the fear of negative consequences if confronting the partner.
Just enough to lose my mind
Anticipating enough emotional damage to lose sanity (repeated theme).
and it goes on & on, on & on, on & on girl
Reiterating the continuous and seemingly endless nature of challenges in the relationship (repeated theme).
on & on, on & on, on & on girl
-on & on, on & on, on & on girl yeah
-I eat my pride & I lay low
Repeating the choice to swallow pride and maintain a low profile.
(Always end up messing it up)
Summarizing the recurring pattern of wanting love but consistently messing it up.
