Heavy Ceiling
Navigating Love's Weight: Said the Whale's 'Heavy Ceiling'
Lyrics
Thought I’d seen the last of you, falling again
Reflecting on encountering a familiar struggle or challenge.
I’m a roof and I need sun to fit under our dime
Expressing a need for positivity or light in a difficult situation.
Thought it was the sky, thought the cracked plaster was night
Mistaking a difficult situation for something grander or more ominous.
Chips and pain reflected light, light upon you
Noticing small details in the midst of hardship, possibly finding beauty in them.
Thought the water wave was fine
Misjudging the severity of a challenging circumstance.
Blending in with ice on heavy
Describing a heavy atmosphere, possibly with emotional weight.
Out in the woods in the pouring rain
Being in a challenging situation, possibly in a natural setting.
Our telephones will never ring
Anticipating a lack of communication or connection with others.
Our telephones will never ring
Reiterating the expectation of no communication or interaction.
Is this the worst place you could be?
Questioning if the current situation is the most undesirable place to be.
Stuck beneath me, buried deep
Feeling trapped or overwhelmed, possibly in a relationship.
Hope this wasn’t what you dreamt
Expressing a hope that the current situation is not what was desired or imagined.
Elbows up and trying to breathe
Struggling to cope with difficulties, physically and emotionally.
I thought you were the moon
Mistaking someone for a guiding light or source of comfort.
Flying sideways like you do
Observing erratic behavior or actions from the person believed to be a source of guidance.
Eyes craters small and blue shining brightly
Describing the eyes as small and blue, possibly symbolizing vulnerability.
Looking simple and surreal
Perceiving simplicity and surrealism in the situation or relationship.
Talking in your sleep, saying goodnight!
Noticing subconscious communication or vulnerability during sleep.
Out in the woods in the pouring rain
Repeating the setting of being in a challenging situation in the woods during rain.
Our telephones well they never ring
Reiterating the lack of communication through phones.
Our telephones well they never ring
Emphasizing the absence of phone calls and connection.
Out in the woods in the pouring rain
Recalling being in a difficult outdoor situation with no communication.
Our telephones will never ring
Stressing the ongoing lack of communication through phones.
Our telephones will never ring
Reiterating the continued absence of phone calls and connection.
I must have fallen on you!
Expressing a realization of falling or imposing on someone, possibly metaphorically.
I must have fallen on you!
-I must have fallen on you!
