Falling
Emotional Descent: A Journey Through Inner Turmoil
Lyrics
Close the door
Symbolic gesture to shut out external influence or emotions.
Turn the volume up can't here anymore
Increasing the sensory input to distract from distress.
Try to quiet all the mess that I know
Attempting to silence or calm the chaos within.
So the burning in my chest doesn't grow
Trying to prevent emotional pain from intensifying.
But it all
Everything feels overwhelming and incapacitating.
Is paralysing when I'm fighting 'till dawn
Fighting persistently, even during the darkest times.
And the voice inside my head is all gone
Losing the internal guidance or rational thoughts.
And it's too late got nothing to save anymore
Feeling past the point of rescue or redemption.
It's like I'm falling
Sensation of descending or spiraling downwards.
And no one would care
Belief that nobody would be concerned about the descent.
It's like I'm falling
Perception of falling without anyone to offer support.
And nobody's there
Loneliness and abandonment during the fall.
Close the door
Repeated action of shutting out.
Try to pretend it's not the end of it all
Attempting to deny or ignore an impending conclusion.
Walk away to find the eye of the storm
Seeking tranquility amidst chaos.
But it's too late got nothing to save anymore
Realization that there's nothing salvageable anymore.
It's like I'm falling
Continued sense of descending without concern from others.
And no one would care
Perception of falling without anyone's empathy.
It's like I'm falling
Experiencing a fall without anyone's presence.
And nobody's there
Loneliness during the descent.
Every time that I try to trust someone it's like another heart attack
Pattern of distrust due to repeated emotional pain.
But the walls aren't building back this time
An indication that the defensive barriers are not re-establishing.
Every time that I try to let her in it's like another moment that
Each attempt to open up leads to another setback.
That I fall
Repeated experience of falling emotionally.
Fall
Reiteration of the emotional descent.
(It's like I'm falling)
Reinforcement of the feeling of falling.
Every time that I try to trust someone it's like another heart attack
Another comparison of trust to vulnerability.
(And nobody's there)
Emphasizing the absence of support.
The walls aren't building back this time
Reiteration that defenses are not re-establishing.
(It's like I'm falling)
Reinforcing the sensation of falling.
Every time that I try to let her in, it's like another moment that
Continued difficulty in letting someone in emotionally.
I fall
Recurring moments of emotional descent.
(And nobody's there)
Highlighting the absence of support during the fall.
Every time that I try to trust someone it's like another heart attack
Repetition of distrust leading to vulnerability.
(Nobody's there)
Emphasizing the absence of anyone during vulnerability.
The walls aren't building back this time
Asserting the lack of defensive rebuilding.
Every time that I try to let her in it's like another moment that
Recurring moments of emotional vulnerability.
(And nobody's there)
Emphasizing the absence of support during vulnerability.
I fall
Repeated experience of falling emotionally.
Close the door
Suggestive of a shutting down or withdrawal.
Find the air inside your lungs is all gone
Sensation of suffocation or feeling trapped.
