Watch Me Drown
Battling Inner Chains: Watch Me Drown by Scars of Life
Lyrics
Although my mind is open, my heart is tightly closed
Expressing a conflict between an open mind and a closed heart, suggesting emotional barriers.
With all the hate that holds me, I wish I didn't own
Desiring to be free from the burden of hate and negative emotions owned by the speaker.
For all the years that pass by, I know I should have changed
Acknowledging the passage of time and a realization that personal change should have occurred.
How can one man sever, the links that make these chains
Pondering the difficulty of breaking the emotional ties or chains that bind the speaker.
And then I see... what my life should be
Reflecting on the ideal vision of the speaker's life.
I'm here dying for another chance to make this right
Expressing a strong desire for another opportunity to correct past mistakes and make things right.
With the guilt I feel I try to piece together my life
Struggling with guilt and attempting to reconstruct the fragmented pieces of the speaker's life.
And I wish for more then I could
Expressing a desire for more than the speaker can provide or fulfill.
Ever give to you...
Recognition of limitations in meeting the expectations or needs of others.
And I know that you don't need the
Acknowledging that the listener may not need the emotional turmoil the speaker has caused.
Hell I put you though...
Reflecting on the pain inflicted on the listener and expressing remorse for it.
I'm here with my hands open, confused on what to do
Presenting vulnerability and confusion in the speaker's current state.
I wish that I could take back, the words I've said to you
Expressing a desire to undo hurtful words spoken to the listener.
And your eyes widen to tell me, how you should have seen
Noticing the regret in the listener's eyes and the realization of what could have been seen or understood.
Your mouth spills out all the, words you didn't mean.
Describing how the listener vocalizes words unintentionally, possibly revealing true feelings.
You stand and watch me drown!
Conveying a sense of helplessness as the listener observes the speaker's struggle without intervening.
