Too Heavy
Weight of Desperation: Love's Burden in 'Too Heavy' by The Plot in You
Lyrics
And now I'm begging for your love
Expressing a plea for love.
But no, there's nothing left from you
Acknowledging the absence of love or emotional connection.
It's all too heavy for my heart to lose
Describing the emotional burden as overwhelming and difficult to bear.
I guess the feeling was off
Suggesting that something felt wrong or out of place.
The tension extreme
Describing extreme tension or pressure.
I'd laid on a cross forsaken it seemed
Feeling abandoned or rejected, possibly in a sacrificial manner.
Torn and ashamed, the cycle remains
Expressing a sense of torn identity and shame with a recurring pattern.
I'm draining us again
Indicating a draining effect on the relationship.
And now I hold my weight like it's a thousand chains
Comparing the emotional weight to a thousand chains.
Try to pull my legs to keep from sinking in
Struggling to avoid sinking deeper into a difficult situation.
And now I'm begging for your love
Reiterating the plea for love.
But no, there's nothing left from you
Reinforcing the absence or void left by the other person.
It's all too heavy for my heart to lose
Reemphasizing the overwhelming nature of the emotional burden.
And you got me begging for your love
Continuing to express a strong desire for love.
And you got me begging for your love
Repeating the plea for love.
And you got me begging for a chance to prove
Yearning for an opportunity to prove oneself in the relationship.
I stripped myself of my health, of my gratitude
Conveying self-sacrifice, giving up health and gratitude.
You move in waves so I chase just to sink with you
Chasing a relationship despite knowing it may lead to sinking or failure.
If I'm just pulling you under, detach and move forward
Suggesting detachment and moving forward if one is dragging the other down.
And don't look back here again
Advising not to dwell on the past.
I see the way, it's deepening
Observing the deepening of a problematic situation.
I hope you feel afraid, it's real again, we're losing it
Expressing hope that the other person feels fear and recognizes the reality of the situation.
So I keep holding on and on, praying no love is gone
Persisting in holding on and praying for the endurance of love.
But now I'm begging for your love
Repeating the plea for love.
But no, there's nothing left from you
Reiterating the absence or void left by the other person.
It's all too heavy for my heart to lose
Reemphasizing the overwhelming nature of the emotional burden.
