When I'm Down
Emotional Turmoil: When Darkness Strikes
Lyrics
My head sits upon my hands
Expressing a sense of despair or sadness, as the head rests on the hands.
Waiting for this night to end
Anticipating the end of a difficult or challenging night.
Getting hard to play pretend
Feeling the difficulty of pretending or putting on a facade.
Because I know
Awareness that someone significant will be difficult to forget.
You'll be hard to miss again
Repeating the theme of difficulty in forgetting someone important.
Why would you kick me when I'm down?
Questioning why someone would add to the pain during a low moment.
(Why would you kick me when I'm down?)
Reiteration of the query about being mistreated during a low point.
Why would you kick me when I'm down?
Continuation of questioning the motive behind mistreatment in a vulnerable state.

I wish you knew just how it feels

To feel a pain so real

Darkness sets the tone today
Setting a melancholic atmosphere with the mention of darkness.
And soon colors start to fade
Describing the fading of vibrant colors, possibly symbolizing joy or positivity.
Your hand came and wiped away
Acknowledging the disappearance of memories through the action of another person.
All the memories we made
Reference to the erasure of shared memories with someone significant.
