Capsized
Navigating Emotions: Unveiling the Depths of 'Capsized' by Sarah Harmer
Lyrics
When I heard about the coming day
Reference to anticipating a significant event or change in the future.
Wish I could wake up from the dream
Desire to escape or awaken from an unsettling or challenging situation.
In it I see a family photographed
Imagining a family scene captured in a photograph.
And there you are, tucked in the scene
Noticed someone (possibly the subject of the song) included in the family scene.
And there's a jealous net inside my chest
Feeling a sense of envy or possessiveness, indicated by a metaphorical "jealous net inside my chest."
There's a hurt and sadness there
Experiencing emotional pain and sorrow.
Maybe I'd tell you all about it
Considering the possibility of sharing personal feelings with someone.
I thought you'd care
Expressing disappointment that the person expected to care didn't show the expected concern.
Heavy heart gets lighter by your side
Finding emotional relief or support when in the company of a particular person.
But there are thoughts I wish I'd heard
Regret about unexpressed thoughts or feelings.
And if they ask you how I'm holding up
Instructing someone on how to respond when asked about the singer's emotional state.
Say I'm holding out for the words
Waiting for specific words or expressions of comfort.
What's the sense in being so sensitive?
Questioning the value or wisdom of being highly sensitive.
Can I trade this thin skin for a shell?
Wishing for emotional protection or resilience, metaphorically expressed as trading "thin skin for a shell."
Well there are some things I've got no feeling about
Acknowledging indifference or lack of emotion towards certain things.
But there are some things I can tell
Asserting the ability to discern and communicate certain emotions.
Heavy heart get lighter by yourself
Suggesting the possibility of finding solace or lightening one's emotional burden independently.
It's been so long since you capsized
Referring to a past event of emotional upheaval or distress.
And you've been lying out there in the sun
Describing a period of vulnerability or exposure to challenges.
Has it begun? Has it begun?
Pondering if a significant change or transformation has started.
Heavy heart, have you heard?
Possibly asking the heavy heart if it has received information or insights.
That I could use the words
Expressing a need for words or communication to address a personal situation.
