Has Anybody Told You
Breaking Free: Challenging Control and Embracing Truth
Lyrics
Save me
Expression of a plea for help or salvation.
Somebody come get me out of here
Desire for someone to rescue the speaker from their current situation.
My head's under water
Metaphorical description of feeling overwhelmed or submerged in difficulties.
I'm drowning in your words
Sensation of being emotionally overwhelmed by the words or actions of another person.
Can't you see
A plea for awareness of the impact of one's actions on the speaker.
The things that you do they are killing me
Expressing emotional pain caused by the actions of another person.
Struggle to breathe
Struggling with the emotional weight imposed by the other person's behavior.
As you think you rule the world
Perception of the other person's arrogance or superiority.
Has anybody told you
Rhetorical question about whether the other person has received positive encouragement.
That you're gonna make it far in life
Recognition of the potential for success in the other person's life.
Has anybody told you
Suggesting the idea of being prepared for challenges or adversity.
To carry 'round a pocket knife
Metaphorically advising self-defense against negativity or criticism.
To deflect all the words of your haters
Encouraging resilience against the negative opinions of others.
Telling you the simple truth
Recognition of the value of hearing and accepting the truth.
To cut out and cut off all the people
Advocating for cutting ties with people who discourage enjoyment of life.
Telling you to enjoy your youth, well
Encouragement to appreciate and embrace the period of youth.
I think it's time you learn the rules of the game
Suggesting the need to understand and abide by the rules of life.
Face reality
Advocacy for facing the harsh realities of life.
I think it's time to stop chasing fame
Advising against an excessive pursuit of fame without considering the consequences.
Nothing comes for free, yeah
Emphasizing that success requires effort and is not achieved without a cost.
If you take a step back you will see
Suggesting gaining perspective on one's current situation.
That this is not where you're supposed to be
Realization that the current circumstances are not aligned with one's true path.
Yeah
Expression of a realization or affirmation.
So, save me
Repetition of the plea for salvation or rescue.
Somebody come get me out of here
Reiteration of the need for assistance and escape.
My head's under water
Repetition of feeling overwhelmed or suffocated.
I'm drowning in your words
Reiteration of the emotional drowning caused by the other person's words.
Can't you see
Repetition of the plea for the other person to recognize their impact.
The things that you do they are killing me
Repetition of the emotional toll caused by the other person's actions.
Struggle to breathe
Reiteration of the struggle to cope with the emotional burden.
As you think you rule the world
Reinforcement of the perception that the other person believes they control everything.
You think you rule the world
Asserting the other person's perception of dominance.
You think you rule the world
Repetition of the idea that the other person believes they are in control.
You think you rule the world
Continued emphasis on the perception of the other person's dominance.
You think you rule the world
Reiteration of the belief in the other person's self-perceived authority.
Save me
Repetition of the plea for rescue or relief from the current situation.
Somebody come get me out of here
Reiteration of the plea for someone to come and help.
My head's under water
Repetition of the feeling of being submerged or overwhelmed.
I'm drowning in your words
Reiteration of drowning in the impact of the other person's words.
Can't you see
Repetition of the plea for the other person to recognize their actions.
The things that you do they are killing me
Repetition of the emotional toll caused by the other person's actions.
Struggle to breathe
Reiteration of the struggle to cope with the emotional burden.
As you think you rule the world
Reinforcement of the perception that the other person believes they control everything.
