Man Overboard
Navigating the Depths of Despair: Man Overboard by Tom A. Smith
Lyrics
I put a brave face on it i put on a front
I'm putting on a brave face and pretending everything is okay.
But even the sharpest tools I have
Even my most effective coping mechanisms are losing their edge.
Are feeling blunt i'm driven by blind faith
I'm guided by blind faith, unsure and lacking clear direction.
Why wouldn't I doubt?
Why shouldn't I have doubts or reservations?
Trying so hard in case it all floods out
I'm putting in a lot of effort in case my true feelings come pouring out.
Can someone try their best to save me now?
Seeking help and asking someone to rescue or assist me.
I'm further away than my head will allow
I feel emotionally distant, beyond what my mind can comprehend.
I'm drowning and all around me feels so dark
I'm overwhelmed, surrounded by darkness, and everything seems bleak.
Or am I just safer down
Questioning whether it's safer for me to stay in a difficult situation.
Here with these sharks? Man overboard
The speaker may feel like they are in danger, similar to a "man overboard."
All the impulses at the front of my brain
Inner impulses and thoughts in the forefront of the speaker's mind.
Create all this doubt
The doubts created by these impulses are causing stress and uncertainty.
Please release this strain
A plea to be released from the mental strain and turmoil.
Can someone try their best to save me now?
Repetition of the plea for help and salvation.
I'm further away than my head will allow
Feeling emotionally distant, beyond the limits of rational thought.
I'm drowning and all around me feels so dark
The speaker is drowning emotionally, surrounded by darkness.
Or am I just safer down
Questioning whether it's safer to remain in a difficult situation.
Here with these sharks? Man overboard
Reiteration of the metaphorical "man overboard" situation.
Can someone try their best to save me now?
Another plea for someone to try their best to save the speaker.
I'm further away than my hеad will allow
Emotionally distant, beyond the capacity of the speaker's mind.
I'm drowning and all around me feels so dark
The feeling of drowning persists, with the surroundings appearing dark.
Or am I just safer down
Questioning whether it's safer to remain in a difficult situation.
Herе with these sharks? Man overboard
Reiterating the metaphorical "man overboard" scenario.
