On Delay
Frozen Emotions: Navigating Love's Delays
Lyrics
So I just found out you're leaving
Discovering that the person is leaving
And we are here to stay
Expressing a commitment to stay despite the departure
Alone with all your laundry
Being left alone with the other person's responsibilities (laundry)
My life put on delay
Feeling that life is on hold or delayed
You put me on delay
Expressing the feeling of being put on hold or delayed by the departing person
And I panicked on the floor
Experiencing panic and distress
And my heart dropped to the ground
Feeling a deep emotional impact (heart dropping) due to the departure
So I pray - please just stay
Praying for the person to stay
Don't leave us here alone
Pleading not to be left alone
You can't go - it's all wrong
Expressing a sense that the departure is fundamentally wrong
I'm frozen to the bone
Feeling emotionally paralyzed or numb
Don't leave us
Reiterating the plea not to be left
Damn I cried
Expressing intense emotions, possibly crying
As always, I was sober
Noting sobriety in contrast to the other person's drinking
You drank your night away
Observing the other person's excessive drinking
I thought my life was over
Feeling as if life is over due to the departure
Your show was far away
Noting the distance of the other person's activities
You left me on display
Feeling exposed or vulnerable due to being left on display
You put me on delay
Expressing the feeling of being put on hold again
And I panicked on the floor
Experiencing panic again
And my heart dropped to the ground
Reiterating the intense emotional impact
So I pray - please just stay
Repeating the plea for the person to stay
Don't leave us here alone
Reiterating the fear of being left alone
You can't go - it's all wrong
Emphasizing the perceived wrongness of the departure
I'm frozen to the bone
Repeating the feeling of being emotionally frozen
You took me off your list
Expressing the removal or exclusion from a list (possibly emotional)
Goddamn I cried
Reiterating intense emotions, possibly crying again
Not even bottom list
Feeling not even considered on the bottom of a list
Your head was in the sand
Describing the other person's avoidance or denial
Hoping it would pass
Having hope that the situation will pass or improve
And it did pass
Confirming that the situation did pass
So I pray - please stay
Repeating the plea for the person to stay
Don't leave us here alone
Reiterating the fear of being left alone
You can't go - it's all wrong
Emphasizing the perceived wrongness of the departure
I'm frozen to the bone
Repeating the feeling of being emotionally frozen
