Seasick
Navigating the Depths of Self: Something for Kate's Seasick Meaning
Lyrics
You make it look so easy
You effortlessly handle situations, making them appear easy.
You seem to fit inside your own skull so comfortably
You feel at ease within your own thoughts and understanding.
But I haven't been myself lately
I have not been myself recently, suggesting a period of personal struggle.
And thank you
An expression of gratitude, possibly for understanding or support.
The pressure has been all mine
I've been under significant stress and responsibility.
As I wait for my pulse to catch up with me
Feeling overwhelmed, waiting for my emotions to catch up.
If I could leave here today then I would
Desire for change and escape, expressed through various hypothetical scenarios.
If I could change my face and my name then I would
-If I could run to some technicolour place then I would
-If I could learn from my mistakes then I would
-The lights come back on
Reflection on the impact of imagination and pressure, waiting for relief.
And what has my imagination done for me lately
-I sit in this chair
-Concentrating on a crack in the ceiling
-And thank you, thank you
-The pressure has been all mine
-As I wait for my breath to catch up with me
-If I could see with your eyes then I would
Desire to understand someone else's perspective.
If I could leave here today then I would
Reiteration of the desire for change and improvement.
If I could change my face and my name then I would
-If I could run to some technicolour place then I would
-If I could learn from my mistakes then I would
-You make it look so easy
Reaffirmation of someone making things look easy, causing seasickness metaphorically.
You make me
-Seasick
-If I could leave here today then I would
Continuation of the desire for change and improvement, including the longing for the ability to fly.
If I could run then I would
-If I could learn then I would
-If I could fly then I would
-
