Pillows Wearing Thin
Bearing the Weight of Silence: A Journey through Emotional Turmoil
Lyrics
Heavy is the head
Expressing the burden and responsibility that comes with leadership or authority.
That the crown sits upon
Highlighting the weight on the person who holds the position of power.
I'm feeling like I'm stuck
Feeling trapped or stagnant with no one to provide support or connection.
No one to hold on
Expressing a lack of emotional support or someone to lean on.
I've been crying in the rain
Indicating a period of sadness and emotional distress.
So my tears don't show
Trying to hide one's emotional pain by crying privately.
'Cause I'm sick of saying yes
Expressing frustration with always agreeing to be okay when not feeling so.
I'm okay when I know
Acknowledging the pretense of being okay despite internal struggles.
When I know
Reiteration of the internal knowledge of one's emotional state.
My head's filling up to the brim
Describing the overwhelming thoughts and emotions filling the mind.
Don't let it show that
Encouraging hiding the emotional struggle from others.
My pillow's wearing thin
Indicating emotional exhaustion and vulnerability, especially during sleep.
So let's walk and talk
Suggesting a desire to communicate and resolve issues through conversation.
And we'll figure it out
Expressing optimism about finding solutions together.
'Cause I wanna see the smile
Expressing a desire to witness happiness in someone else's life.
That lights up her world
Emphasizing the impact of a smile on someone's world.
'Cause my pillow's wearing out
Reiterating the worn-out state of the pillow due to continuous tears.
From the tears it's catching every night
Explaining the physical toll of emotional pain on the pillow.
'Cause you're not holding me tight
Expressing the absence of physical comfort and closeness.
I'm trying to understand
Expressing a struggle to comprehend a situation or relationship.
'Cause you're the one
Addressing a specific person as the source of emotional relief.
I want to drain my head
Expressing a desire to share and release thoughts and burdens.
'Cause I got things I wanna see
Expressing a personal journey and things the person wishes to experience.
I want you to be proud of me
Desiring recognition and approval from a significant person.
Yes I, when I know
Repeating the internal knowledge of emotional struggles.
When I know
Reiteration of being aware of one's emotional state.
