Pour Down
Navigating Deceit: The Emotional Downpour in 'Pour Down'
Lyrics
You said I’d be alright alright
You assured me that everything would be fine.
But you don’t really know now do you
You lack real understanding or certainty.
And you said you’d be all mine all mine
You promised exclusive commitment.
But you don’t really know now do you
Your commitment is uncertain.
You don’t really know do you
Your knowledge and commitment are both questionable.
I was young and throwing my weight around
During my youth, I was assertive.
When the rain came we never made a sound
In challenging times, we remained silent.
We just let it all pour down
We allowed difficulties to overwhelm us.
All I needed was a shoulder for the weeping
I sought comfort in someone's support.
Suns and moons to spin me through the year
I needed various experiences to guide me.
What I got was less a reason for the speaking
What I received was not a valid reason to communicate.
A Himalaya of dishonesty
A massive amount of dishonesty surrounds me.
A Niagara of deceit
A constant flow of deceit is present.
I still wilt in the glare of your failing light
I am still affected by the fading influence of your light.
Do I care do I care do I care
Do I care? Perhaps I do.
I might
My feelings are uncertain.
I’m still lost in the tide of a bygone dream
I am still engulfed in the memories of a past dream.
Only you know what I mean
Only you understand the depth of my experience.
Am I nothing but the camphor in your garden
Am I just a fragrant presence in your life?
A camisole of carbon and belief
A covering of both substance and belief.
You leave me heaving in the street where this all started
You leave me struggling where it all began.
And I’ll part the endless highway
I will navigate the endless journey.
I’ll walk the long white line
I will follow the path determined by fate.
I’ve a heavy tread and I take my time
I move slowly, burdened, and deliberate.
All I gave is yours all you leave is mine
What I gave belongs to you; what you left is mine.
I am teeming with dread for the answers I’ll never find
I am filled with anxiety about unanswered questions.
Oh and you don’t seem to mind
You appear indifferent to my concerns.
You don’t seem to mind
Your lack of concern is evident.
And you don’t really know
And you are still uncertain.
Now do you
Your knowledge remains incomplete.
Now do you
Your understanding is still lacking.
