Weight
Unveiling the Weight of Silent Longings in Sarah Slean's Melodic Tapestry
Lyrics
What did I give to you
Asking what the speaker provided to the listener.
What did you give to me
Inquiring about what the listener offered in return.
A nothing-trail of silences that warp in the rain
Describing a series of empty moments, possibly communication breakdowns, that deteriorate when exposed to challenges or difficulties.
You said I don't really know the reason
The listener expresses uncertainty about the cause behind their actions.
It's just not the same
Indicating that things have changed and are no longer as they used to be.
What a vacant breath and when,
Referring to an insubstantial or empty sigh at a particular time.
When you say my name
Highlighting a significant moment when the listener addresses the speaker by their name.
And do you know the weight I'm under
Asking if the listener understands the emotional burden or pressure the speaker experiences.
When everything revolves around you you you you
Expressing how the listener is the focal point, dominating the speaker's life.
Soon the shoulder falls
Implies a feeling of exhaustion or collapse, potentially from carrying the weight of the listener's significance.
All forgotten handshakes
Referring to forgotten connections or relationships, possibly due to neglect or disregard.
Names like falling leaves
Comparing names to falling leaves, suggesting a sense of loss or detachment.
Apathy will spread like wildfire
Indicating that indifference or lack of concern will spread rapidly, separating the speaker from the listener.
Take you away from me
Expressing the speaker's fear of losing the listener to this spreading indifference.
I'm leaning out the window
Metaphorically leaning out of a window, possibly seeking something beyond the current situation.
Gonna catch the August rain
Expressing a desire to experience something refreshing or cleansing, symbolized by the August rain.
I'm gonna fill your mouth up
Metaphorically intending to fill the listener's silence with words or emotions to revive their connection.
Make you live again
Expressing a desire to reignite emotions or bring the listener back to life.
And do you know the weight I'm under
Reiterating the query about whether the listener comprehends the weight or pressure the speaker is experiencing.
When everything revolves around you you you you
Reiterating that everything revolves around the listener, emphasizing their centrality in the speaker's life.
Soon the shoulder falls.
Reemphasizing the impending exhaustion or collapse due to the weight of the listener's significance.
