Talking Under Water
Navigating Silence: A Journey Through Love's Unspoken Depths
Lyrics
Baby this weight we've been carrying
Baby, the emotional burden we carry is becoming increasingly heavy.
Gets heavier each day we sit
The weight intensifies with each passing day as we remain silent.
Content with the silence
We are content with the quietness in our relationship.
So used to the tension
We've grown accustomed to the underlying tension.
We still share the same bed but I haven't heard your voice in days
We share the same physical space, but communication has been absent for days.
And I can feel you drifting farther
I sense you becoming more distant.
Feels like we're talking under water
Our conversations feel muted, as if we're speaking underwater.
At least when we would yell it still felt like we cared
Even arguments used to signify caring; now, it's as if we're indifferent.
At least when there was anger we knew
Past anger indicated our shared love, but now that connection seems lost.
It came from the love that we shared.
So say say
Encouraging communication:
Tell me everything you're thinking
Requesting openness, asking to share thoughts to prevent the relationship from sinking.
To stop this boat from sinking
Just say say
Reiteration of the need for communication:
I know that if we want to we'll figure this out
Expressing confidence that the issues can be resolved through open discussion.
Maybe this life's temporary
Contemplating the transient nature of life.
I keep losing myself when we sit
Feeling lost within oneself during moments of silence.
Content with the silence
Similar to line 3, finding contentment in the lack of communication.
We dare not to mention
Avoiding acknowledgment of underlying issues.
We still share the same house but I haven't seen your face in days
Physically together, but emotional connection has waned.
And I can feel you drifting farther
Perceiving increased emotional distance.
Feels like we're talking under water
Communication feels strained and distant.
At least when we would yell it still felt like we cared
Contrasting past arguments with the current lack of emotional investment.
At least when there was anger we knew
It came from the love that we shared
-So say say
Repeating the need for open dialogue to salvage the relationship.
Tell me everything you're thinking to stop this boat from sinking
Just say say
Emphasizing the importance of communication:
I know that if we want to we'll figure out how we can say
Expressing confidence that they can find a way to communicate.
Say
Say, Say at least when we were fighting it felt like we were trying
Reflecting on the past, when even fights showed effort and care.
Just say say
Reiterating the belief that communication can resolve their issues.
I know that if we want to,
Expressing confidence in the potential to overcome challenges.
we'll pull ourselves out of the sea
The ambulance came
Describing a moment of crisis symbolized by the arrival of an ambulance.
But we were dead on arrival
Despite help arriving, they were emotionally 'dead' and unresponsive.
Now I'm numb to the pain
Numbing oneself to the emotional pain.
Living my life in denial
Living in denial of the emotional challenges in life.
