Lyrics
Unsteady
Feeling unsteady or unstable
Swelling and then crawl back
Expanding and then retracting, resembling the ebb and flow like the ocean
Like the ocean
Comparison of emotions to the vastness and unpredictability of the ocean
Into shell of
Retreating into a protective state
Shells, shells, shells
Repetition of "shells" suggesting layers of protection or barriers
I can smell you
Heightened awareness, possibly of someone or something
Feel you
Emotional connection or recognition
Feel home
Feeling at home or comfortable
But feel lost
Simultaneous feeling of being lost
Better get it on
Indication to take action
Because you know
Awareness that the current state is temporary
This is not
Recognition that the situation is not permanent
Forever
Acknowledgment that the current state won't last forever
Ever, ever, ever....
Repetition emphasizing the temporary nature
You dont know what you´ve got until
A realization of the value of something
Unsteady
Emotional instability yet proximity
Yet close
Close but unsteady
You dont know what you´ve got
Lack of awareness of the value of something
So close
Closeness without understanding its importance
You dont know what you´ve got until
Repetition of not knowing the value until it's gone
It’s gone
Recognition of loss
Gone gone gone
Emphasis on the permanence of the loss
You dont know what you´ve got until
Repetition of not realizing the value until it's gone
What you
What you possess
What you...
Repetition of questioning what is owned or cherished
You dont know what you´ve got until
Continued realization of value only after losing
It’s gone
Acknowledgment of loss
If you assure me i feel alright
Reassurance that things are okay if confirmed
Just a wee of a sign
A small indication is enough
Don’t take too long to hesitate
Urgency to avoid prolonged indecision
You dont know
Lack of awareness of what is possessed
What you´ve got till it’s gone
Repetition emphasizing the theme of not realizing the value until it's gone
What you´ve got till it’s gone
-What you´ve got till it’s gone
-What you´ve got till it’s gone
-What you´ve got till it’s gone
-What you´ve got till it’s gone
-Gone gone gone.....
-You dont know
-You dont know....
-Got till it’s
-Got till it’s.....
-What you´ve got till it’s gone
Continued emphasis on the theme of recognizing value only after it's lost
