Everything Is Fine
Struggling with Unspoken Pain: Everything Is Far From Fine
Lyrics
It's only in my sleep that I'm still close to you
Expresses a sense of emotional closeness only experienced in dreams.
I never could have dreamed that I'd be losing you
Reflects surprise and sorrow over the unexpected loss of the person.
Stubbornness makes you still believe
Addresses the persistence of belief despite challenges or difficulties.
That the arms of the tree can grow back once they're gone
Symbolizes the irreplaceable nature of certain losses using tree imagery.
While we're just hanging on
Describes a state of emotional vulnerability and dependence.
The howling I can't help it
Conveys an uncontrollable expression of emotional distress or pain.
Wholly dedicated to you
Expresses complete dedication to a person or relationship.
How naive am I for having high hopes in you
Acknowledges innocence or naivety in having high expectations.
Don't go trying to tell me everything is fine
Rejects attempts to falsely reassure that everything is okay.
Everything is fine
Repeats the skepticism about the claimed well-being.
With nothing kind to say nothing gets said at all
Highlights the consequence of avoiding unpleasant truths.
We're skating round in silence it's uncomfortable
Describes an uncomfortable silence in the relationship.
When only fights can break the ice
Emphasizes the need for conflicts to address underlying issues.
We're just crying out for highs
Suggests a craving for emotional highs in the relationship.
So spit out what is wrong
Encourages open communication about problems to prevent lingering issues.
Or this will just linger on
Warns of the consequences if problems are not addressed promptly.
Our honeymoon forget it
Discards the idea of a blissful honeymoon phase in the relationship.
Turn away and say you're tired
Suggests a desire to avoid confrontation or facing problems.
Pet me on the forehead like a father to child
Depicts a paternal gesture, possibly indicating a desire for comfort.
You're still trying to tell me that everything is fine
Expresses skepticism toward reassurances that everything is fine.
Everything is fine
Repeats the skepticism about the claimed well-being.
Everything is fine
Reiterates doubt regarding the truthfulness of the reassurances.
Deny all invitation
Rejects invitations or attempts to engage in meaningful conversation.
The things I'd do for conversation
Expresses a longing for communication and connection.
Talking to the shadows seeing as we share the shade
Describes a shared experience of darkness or difficulty.
Please stop trying to tell me everything is fine
Resists false reassurances and a desire for honesty.
There is nothing left for us to break in this apartment
Conveys a sense of emotional exhaustion in the relationship.
There is not a word that I have screamed that I have not meant sincerely
Asserts the sincerity of previously expressed emotions and words.
Don't know how much longer I can stay locked up here with you
Expresses a sense of confinement or emotional strain in the relationship.
But go on tell me everything is fine
Challenges the validity of reassurances about the relationship's state.
Everything is fine
Reiterates skepticism about the claimed well-being.
