The Lake
Drowning Plea: The Unseen Cry for Help in The Lake
Lyrics
Hey you
Addressing someone
Over there
Calling out to a person at a distance
Won't you help a stranger
Asking for assistance from a stranger
That's a sorry sight my friend
Describing a pitiable or unfortunate scene
It's not me
Expressing a lack of desire to cause trouble
To make a fuss
Not one to create a commotion
It's just that the water's cold
Explaining the reason for concern: cold water
And I can't feel my legs
Feeling numbness in the legs due to the cold
Help me out
Pleading for assistance
Don't let me drown in here
Requesting not to be left to drown
Can't you see
Expressing the imminent fear of death
I'm gonna die in here
Reiterating the fear of impending death
Please excuse
Apologizing for an emotional outburst
That outburst
Admitting fear and vulnerability
I'm a little scared
Confessing to being scared
I don't know what came over me
Confusion over sudden behavior
What's wrong
Inquiring about what's wrong
Don't close your eyes
Pleading to not look away
I don't want to hurt you
Assuring no intent to cause harm, only seeking help
I just need a little help
Expressing the need for assistance
Help me out
Reiterating the plea for help
Don't let me drown in here
Repeating the request to not be left to drown
Can't you see
Reiterating the imminent fear of death
I'm gonna die in here
Reiterating the fear of impending death
Swim he says
Quoting someone urging to swim
Why do you say these things
Questioning the reason for such statements
One last chance
Last opportunity given to be rescued
Just get me out of here
Begging to be taken out of the perilous situation
