Underwater
Beneath the Surface: Unveiling Vulnerability in Rusted Hearts' 'Underwater'
Lyrics
I'm never really honest
I struggle with being completely truthful.
I'm always just too scared
Fear often prevents me from expressing myself honestly.
The game we play is awkward
The dynamics of our relationship or interactions feel uncomfortable.
It's never really fair
The situation or relationship lacks fairness.
I think we're trying too hard to fit in our skin
We are making an effort to conform to societal expectations.
I'm sleeping underwater till my lungs cave in
I feel emotionally submerged, possibly overwhelmed, until I can't breathe.
The scars on my arms show if you push too hard then I might cave in
Visible scars on my arms symbolize vulnerability; excessive pressure might lead to a breakdown.
Tell me about the time you left I bet you wish you never had
Share with me the regrettable instance when you departed; you might regret it.
All the promises we kept. Keep sliding off your fingertips
Promises we made are slipping away, becoming difficult to hold onto.
The sound, and if I need you I need you now
The importance of your presence, and the urgency of needing you, especially now.
How do you live so fucking down
Questioning how someone copes with profound sadness or depression.
How do you live so fucking down
Reiteration of the inquiry about dealing with deep emotional struggles.
I think we're trying too hard to fit in our skin
We continue to make an excessive effort to conform to societal norms.
I'm sleeping underwater till my lungs cave in
The metaphorical act of sleeping underwater persists, suggesting ongoing emotional suffocation.
The scars on my arms show if you push too hard then I might cave in
Visible scars serve as a warning that excessive pressure may lead to emotional collapse.
I think we're trying too hard to fit in our skin
Repeated acknowledgment of the struggle to conform to societal expectations.
I'm sleeping underwater till my lungs cave in
The metaphor of sleeping underwater and its emotional toll persists.
The scars on my arms show if you push too hard then I might cave in
Reiteration of the vulnerability, cautioning against pushing too hard.
That I might cave in
Emphasizing the possibility of succumbing to emotional pressure or breaking down.
