Swivel
Emotions Manipulated: The Depths of Personal Identity in Slow Crush's "Swivel
Lyrics
Without reason fill in the void
Feeling the emptiness without a clear cause.
Empty and low cornered with you
Being in a low and desolate state with someone.
Without reason filling the room
Filling the space without a specific reason.
Float vividly follow my stride
Moving vividly, following a path or course of action.
Stretching time
Experiencing the elongation or distortion of time.
Slowing mind
Slowing down the mental processes.
Fallen shards
Broken pieces or fragments that have fallen.
Stuck and Swivel
Feeling trapped and oscillating between states.
I only feel what you want me to feel
Experiencing emotions based on the desires of another.
Here
Present in the moment.
And I'll be who you want me to be
Willing to conform to the expectations of another.
You
Referring to the person with control or influence.
What I have I'm afraid to lose
Fearful of losing what is currently possessed.
Too close to breathe your words linger
Proximity making it difficult to breathe, with lingering words.
Taking my time endless drifting
Taking one's time, drifting endlessly.
Moving to you, further from me
Moving towards someone but distancing oneself.
Catching my breath stuck and shiver
Catching breath while feeling stuck and shivering.
I only feel what you want me to feel
Experiencing emotions dictated by external influence.
And I'll be who you want me to be
Willing to conform to the desired identity of another.
What I have I'm afraid to lose
Fearing the potential loss of what is currently possessed.
Swivel
Swiveling, possibly indicating a change in direction or perspective.
I only feel what you want me to feel
Experiencing emotions as directed by external influence.
I'll only be what you want me to be
Committing to being what is expected by another.
