Lyrics
Lines met at the end to bring the river down
Lines converge at the end, causing the river's descent
Root the cradle up from underneath
Raise the cradle from below
Time and time to think that consequences weren't all my own
Repeatedly thinking that outcomes were not solely caused by oneself
It didn't stop me then, but now that I'm alone
Previous actions were unaffected by this realization, but being alone now, it impacts differently
There's circles 'round my eyes, water if I try
Dark circles around the eyes; tears come easily
All I've gained is a lack of sleep
Despite efforts, gained nothing but sleep deprivation
Keep me from the dark, somewhere Meissa starts
Seeking protection from darkness, referencing Meissa, a star
Lift me farther, I miss the water
Desiring to be lifted further, missing the comfort of water
It's cold out there
Referring to the coldness outside
Sloughing death from sleep
Shedding the remnants of death during sleep
I can't keep but crying while your
Unable to stop crying about something while thinking about someone
Wrapped up in your mother's hair
Feeling emotionally attached to someone wrapped in their mother's hair
I can't keep you
Unable to hold onto or maintain a connection with the person
Draped in moss and rot, do my feet still walk?
Wondering if one's feet, surrounded by moss and decay, still have the ability to move
It's been a while since I moved on my own
A long period has passed since independently moving
A voice hopped off my shoulder and turned to look me in the eye
A metaphorical voice left and confronted the speaker, causing discomfort when alone
I can't stand you staring at me now that I'm alone
Feeling uncomfortable when someone looks at the speaker now that they're alone
Panicked, running scared, dirt run through your hair
Feeling panicked and frightened, possibly with disheveled appearance
All I've lost's my peace of mind
All that's lost is peace of mind
Keep me from the dark, somewhere Mercy starts
Seeking refuge from darkness, referencing Mercy, possibly another star
Where's my father, I'm just a daughter
Asking about the whereabouts of the speaker's father as they identify themselves as a daughter
All I have is moving on
Only possession is the ability to move forward despite hardship
Nothing breaks the surface long
No significant breakthrough or change despite continued effort
Who will miss me when I'm gone?
Questioning who will feel the absence when the speaker is no longer present
Falling out, I fade away
Fading away from a situation, losing significance
Heavy breath, my hands are shaking
Struggling with heavy breathing and trembling hands
Tell me, who am I today?
Identity crisis: uncertain about current self
