Walker
Echoes of Time: Navigating Pain and Nostalgia in Steady Wells' 'Walker'
Lyrics
Fill up my cup again
Expressing a desire to replenish a sense of fulfillment or satisfaction.
To see if I still feel
Reflecting on the ability to experience emotions and questioning one's sensitivity.
Conversations last all night
Noting that conversations extend throughout the night.
But you would never know
Highlighting a hidden aspect of oneself that others may not be aware of.
Yeah I could talk this out
Expressing a willingness to discuss matters openly.
But time's too short
Acknowledging that time is limited for such discussions.
Yeah I could talk this out
Reiterating the desire to talk but emphasizing the constraint of time.
But time's too short
Repeating the idea that time is too short for extensive conversation.
But I still feel like hell
Despite efforts to communicate, still experiencing a sense of anguish.
But I won't let you in
Choosing not to open up emotionally to someone.
Yeah I still feel like hell
Persisting in feeling distressed but maintaining emotional boundaries.
But I won't let you in
Continuing to resist letting someone into one's emotional space.
But there's a charm when we wake
Recognizing a special quality or allure in the moments of awakening.
Like when we were young
Comparing the present to a time of youth, emphasizing nostalgia.
We laugh until it hurts
Recalling joyful moments of laughter that are emotionally intense.
And it feels like home
Feeling a sense of comfort and belonging, akin to being at home.
Yeah I could talk this out
Reiterating the willingness to engage in conversation despite time constraints.
But time's too short
Reaffirming the limited time available for extensive discussions.
Yeah I could talk this out
Expressing a desire to communicate despite time limitations.
But time's too short
Repeating the theme of time being too short for prolonged talks.
But I still feel like hell
Persisting in feeling troubled despite potential communication.
But I won't let you in
Maintaining emotional barriers and not allowing someone into one's inner turmoil.
Yeah I still feel like hell
Continuing to resist opening up emotionally despite internal struggles.
But I won't let you in
Maintaining emotional boundaries and not letting someone share the burden.
And there's a feeling we get that's understood
Describing a shared understanding or connection that transcends words.
Like taking the clock back in time
Eliciting a sense of nostalgia by metaphorically turning back the clock.
Wondering why the days feel so different
Questioning the perceived difference in the quality of days and dwelling on the past.
We dwell in the past
Choosing to live in memories as a coping mechanism.
To just get by
Emphasizing the use of the past to survive or cope with the present.
But I still feel like hell
Continuing to experience emotional distress despite potential communication.
But I won't let you in
Resisting the urge to let someone into the emotional turmoil being felt.
Yeah I still feel like hell
Maintaining emotional boundaries and not allowing someone to share the burden.
But I won't let you in
Persisting in emotional turmoil but keeping others at a distance.
Yeah I could talk this out
Expressing a willingness to talk, but still maintaining emotional barriers.
But I won't let you in
Reiterating the choice to keep emotional walls up despite the potential for conversation.
