Low in the Heavens
Eternal Echoes: Navigating Shadows in 'Low in the Heavens'
Lyrics
Twisting through the caverns of doubt
Feeling uncertain and navigating through a sense of uncertainty or lack of confidence.
Will I be forgotten or will you keep me tucked away?
Questioning whether the speaker will be forgotten or remembered, and if they will be kept close emotionally.
Inside your skull, your house, my hospital
Describing a mental space within the listener's mind as a refuge or place of care for the speaker.
Hanging heavy in the air
Creating an atmosphere of weightiness and tension.
You tend to my sicknesses
Someone is taking care of the speaker's troubles or problems.
Shadowed in the garden
Existing in the shadows within a metaphorical garden, possibly symbolizing a hidden or private place.
When it all burns down
Referring to a moment of destruction or chaos.
Every word that wasn't unsaid
Every unspoken word will be regretted or longed for.
Will all be wished for again
Regret for words left unsaid.
A man followed by night
A person moving through darkness or difficult times.
Bound to a barren existence
Being tied to a life that is unproductive or unfulfilling.
Low in the heavens
Feeling down or depressed.
When it all comes crumbling down
Anticipating a moment of collapse or failure.
I'll be waiting
Waiting for a challenging event to happen.
Expecting the change in you
Expecting a transformation or shift in the listener.
When it all breaks away
Anticipating a complete breakdown or separation.
I'll drift without a sound
Drifting away silently when everything falls apart.
There will be nowhere to go
No viable escape or alternative.
But to head beneath
Being compelled to go beneath, possibly representing a darker or hidden place.
Where I belong
Belonging to a lower or darker realm.
There will be nothing left
Nothing significant remaining to anchor the speaker.
To keep me here
Nothing to keep the speaker emotionally attached or invested.
To keep my faith in
Nothing to maintain faith in or believe in.
The way it will feel
Anticipating the emotional impact of a significant event.
Surrounded by the earth
Being surrounded by the grounding and elemental aspects of life.
Surrounded by the breathless
Being surrounded by a lack of vitality or lifelessness.
Twisting through the caverns of doubt
Repeating the feeling of uncertainty and doubt.
Will I be forgotten or will you keep me tucked away?
Reiterating the fear of being forgotten or overlooked.
Inside your skull, your house, my hospital
Revisiting the idea of a mental space within the listener's mind as a place of care.
Where I belong
Reaffirming a sense of belonging to a darker or hidden place.
Surrounded by the earth

I can't find my way out
Expressing difficulty in finding a way out of a challenging situation.
Hanging heavy in the air
Recreating the heavy and tense atmosphere.
Noticing that I was lost before

You took me in

I thought you'd pry me away from
