Down
Echoes of Longing: Deciphering Teddy Geiger's 'Down' Emotions
Lyrics
Backyard games were never the same
Changes in simple activities due to emotional impact
I couldn't keep my girl but I kept your name
Lost a romantic relationship but retains memories of another person
I crashed my car but I'm still alive
Survived a car crash
Oh you should have been around to teach me to drive
Regret for not having someone's guidance during a difficult time
Well I don't know much about you
Lack of knowledge about the person
I'm trying to live without you
Attempting to cope with life without the person
But I just keep falling down
Continuously facing setbacks or failures
But you are not around
The person is absent
So down I'm lying on the ground
Feeling emotionally low and physically fallen
Is this a disease or do you ever feel like me
Questioning if emotional distress is a common experience
I saw a picture of you and you had a guitar
Observation of the person's interest (playing guitar)
So I learned how to play but I don't want to be who you are
Learning skills from the person but not wanting their identity
My mother cries alone in her room
Mother's emotional pain experienced alone during specific months
Two times a year in December and June
Times of heightened emotional distress for the mother
I don't know much about you
Lack of familiarity or understanding about the person
I'm trying to live without you
Attempting to navigate life's challenges without the person
But I just keep on falling down
Continuously facing difficulties or hardships
But you are not around
The person's absence during tough times
So down I'm lying on the ground
Feeling emotionally and physically low, lying down
Is this a disease or do you ever feel like me
Wondering if others experience similar emotional struggles
Well I don't know much about you
Little knowledge about the person
I'm trying to live without you
Trying to manage life without the person's presence
But I just keep on falling down
Continuously facing challenges or failures
But you are not around
The person's absence in difficult moments
Down I'm lying on the ground
Feeling emotionally low, lying down
I'm down and you are not around
Emotionally down due to the person's absence
So down I'm lying on the ground
Continuing to feel emotionally low, lying down
Is this a disease or do you ever feel like me
Questioning if others share similar emotional experiences
