Stop Dragging Me Down
Breaking Free from Love's Chains: The Thornbirds' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
You’re on my mind
You occupy my thoughts.
You’re on my back
You're a burden or pressure on me.
I feel my patience about to crack
I'm reaching the limit of my tolerance.
I want the girl I fell in love with to come back
I desire the return of the person I initially fell in love with.
Stop dragging me
Request to cease influencing or affecting negatively.
Stop dragging me down
Stop causing me to feel low or unhappy.
Stop dragging me
Requesting a halt in negative impact or influence.
Stop dragging me down
Stop causing me distress or pulling me into negativity.
I wonder how
Curiosity about how the situation deteriorated.
It got like this
Questioning the progression to the current state.
There is no grief from all the other girls I kiss
No emotional pain from other relationships.
The ones that really love me never come around
Real love interests are absent or not pursuing.
Stop dragging me
Repetition of the plea to halt negative impact.
Stop dragging me down
Stop causing me distress or sorrow.
Stop dragging me
Continued request to cease negative influence.
Stop dragging me down
Stop pulling me into a negative situation or mood.
Been here a hundred times
Repeated experience of distress or pain.
Black and blue
Feeling hurt or damaged emotionally.
Deaf and Blind
Feeling unable to perceive or understand.
The perfect woman is impossible to find
Expressing the difficulty in finding an ideal partner.
Well you can break my shit
Acceptance of potential material damage.
And you can shout
Acknowledgment of verbal aggression.
But I’ve got alcohol
Using alcohol to cope or block out negativity.
To drown you out
Trying to mitigate the negative influence.
Stop dragging me
Repeated plea to stop causing distress or negativity.
Stop dragging me down
Request to cease dragging down emotionally.
Stop dragging me
Continued plea to halt the negative impact.
Stop dragging me down
Request to stop pulling into negativity or distress.
