Contention
Navigating Emotional Turbulence: The Depths of Contention
Lyrics
At least when you leave
Expressing a minimum expectation or condition when someone departs
At least when you leave
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the importance of the condition
At least when I
Extending the minimum expectation to oneself
It's not quite perfect but should it be?
Raising a question about the perfection of a situation and whether it should be
It's not quite worth it but should it be?
Pondering the worthiness of a situation and whether it should be
We're not quite deserving but should we be?
Questioning the deserving nature of 'we' in a situation
Second guessing is a grieving recipe
Suggesting that second-guessing is a recipe for grief
I can't make it emotionally
Expressing difficulty in handling a situation emotionally
Do you understand me in theory?
Pose a question about understanding oneself in theory
Getting behind me can be quite tricky
Highlighting the challenge of supporting or following the speaker
It can be, it can be
Reiterating the challenge and acknowledging its existence
But love you I will
Commitment to love despite challenges
At least when you need
Reiterating the commitment when the other person needs it
At least when you need
Repetition for emphasis on being there when needed
At least when I leave
Extending the commitment to oneself when leaving
When I leave
Stating the action of leaving
When I leave
Repetition for emphasis on the action of leaving
He didn't quite know how to give it to me
Describing someone's uncertainty in expressing affection
I didn't quite know how to take it from him
Expressing uncertainty in receiving affection from someone
The air is too turbulent to me
Referring to a turbulent emotional state
Debris flying in my head
Metaphorically describing mental chaos with debris
Giving me a big headache
Linking emotional turmoil to a physical headache
I can't think straight
Expressing difficulty in clear thinking
It's not quite perfect but should it be?
Posing a question about the perfection of a situation and whether it should be
It's not quite worth it but should it be?
Pondering the worthiness of a situation and whether it should be
We're not quite deserving but should we be?
Questioning the deserving nature of 'we' in a situation
Second guessing is a grieving recipe
Suggesting that second-guessing is a recipe for grief
I can't make it emotionally
Posing a question about understanding oneself in theory
Do you understand me in theory?
Highlighting the challenge of supporting or following the speaker
Getting behind me can be quite tricky
Reiterating the challenge and acknowledging its existence
It can be, it can be
Blank line, indicating a moment of contemplation
But love you I will
Reiteration of the commitment when leaving
At least when I leave
Repetition for emphasis on the commitment when leaving
At least when I leave
-At least when I leave
-At least when I leave
