Tensions
Unraveling Pain: The Emotional Turmoil in 'Tensions' by The Scouts
Lyrics
So you haven't come to terms with pain
Struggling to accept or cope with pain.
When everything inside you is quickly becoming insane
Feeling a rapid decline in mental stability or rationality.
Staring in the dark all alone
Being in a dark, solitary space.
Waiting for them to come home
Anticipating the return of someone who is absent.
When will this weight be lifted
Expressing impatience for relief from emotional burden.
I think my bones are breaking
Suggesting an extreme emotional or physical strain.
I think my lungs just caved in
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, as if one's emotional capacity has collapsed.
Feels like I'm suffocating
Experiencing a sensation of being unable to breathe or being restricted.
Troubles come and troubles go
Difficulties arise and fade over time, but the present feels consuming.
Its hard to think about when right now is all that you know
Struggling to consider a future beyond the current overwhelming situation.
And it may come as a surprise
Implying a revelation or realization may be unexpected.
When you finally realize
A moment of realization after a prolonged period of unawareness.
When will this weight be lifted
Reiteration of impatience for relief from emotional burden.
I think my bones are breaking
Continued expression of extreme emotional or physical strain.
I think my lungs just caved in
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, as if one's emotional capacity has collapsed (repeated).
Feels like I'm suffocating
Repetition of feeling restricted or unable to breathe emotionally (repeated).
Now you walk away as I'm laying in bed
Someone leaving while the narrator is emotionally vulnerable.
As I try and think of the words in my head
Struggling to recall words or actions in a distressed state.
I can't remember what you said
Difficulty remembering the departing person's words.
