Quicksand
Navigating Desolation: The Empties' Quicksand Unveiled
Lyrics
Explaining from your knees
Expressing vulnerability and openness, possibly in a difficult situation.
What you need from me
Seeking clarification on what is required or expected in the relationship.
Who's got leverage now
Questioning who has the advantage or control in the current circumstance.
I stand on higher ground
Asserting a position of strength or superiority.
Say it slowly now
Asking for a deliberate and clear communication to enhance understanding.
So I can understand
Requesting a slow and careful explanation for comprehension.
You slur your words and you are losing ground
Observing the other person's struggle, possibly with addiction or instability.
Quicksand
Metaphorically referring to a difficult and sinking situation, possibly a crisis.
Tumbling down
Describing a gradual descent into a hopeless state, with a lack of desire for safety.
Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
-Tumbling down
-Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
-You had a hold of me
Acknowledging past influence or control exerted by the other person.
My prison's broken free
Expressing freedom from the emotional or relational confinement imposed.
I did my time inside your maximum security
Metaphorically served time in a restrictive relationship or situation.
I hit the open road
Choosing independence and leaving, embarking on a journey.
Your face gets smaller in the rear view mirror, the rear view mirror
Seeing the other person's significance diminish as distance grows.
Tumbling down
Reiterating the descent into hopelessness, expressing a lack of desire for safety.
Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
-Tumbling down
-Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
-Tumbling down
Continuing the theme of descending into hopelessness and rejecting the return to safety.
Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
-Tumbling down
-Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
-Tumbling down
-Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
-Tumbling down
-Way down, way down
-Until there's no hope for me
-Until I don't wish for return to safety
