Minuscule
Carrying Each Other: A Poignant Tale of Support and Expectations
Lyrics
Trade me stories, tell me it's a lie
Trade me stories, express doubt or skepticism, requesting assurance or honesty.
I've been pacing around my room all night
Restless and anxious behavior, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
Everyone around me says they're fine
Surrounding individuals claim to be okay, creating a contrast with the speaker's perception.
But I know this is not the first time I
Recognition of a recurring pattern or issue, suggesting a sense of familiarity.
Will
Introduction of the speaker's commitment or responsibility.
Carry you
Continuation of the commitment to support or carry someone.
Across every room
Across every room, metaphorical journey expressing comprehensive support.
I know
Awareness or understanding of the situation.
That you'll stay
Confidence in the person being supported to remain present.
Everyone else hasn't anyway
Contrast with others who haven't stayed, emphasizing the uniqueness of the relationship.
Try to trust you try to see your side
Attempt to build trust and understand the other person's perspective.
You've been pacing around your room all night
Reflection of the other person's restless state, mirroring the speaker's earlier condition.
Every time I look into your eyes
Eyes as a symbol of shared memories or experiences.
I remember what it was like the first time I
Nostalgia for the initial stages of the relationship.
Carried you
Reiteration of commitment to support, similar to lines 6-9.
Across every room
Metaphorical expression of thorough and enduring support.
I knew
Awareness or certainty about the other person's continued presence.
That you'd stay
Comparison with others who have not stayed, highlighting the special nature of the relationship.
Everyone else hasn't anyway
Blank line, possibly indicating a break or transition.
Cuz my feet are dragging, and yours are too
Physical and emotional exhaustion, shared between the speaker and the other person.
And I expect much more than you do
Expression of unmet expectations and disappointment in the other person's actions.
No I can't tell you, I wish you knew
Lament about the inability to communicate wishes or needs effectively.
Wish you would carry me 'round this room
Desire for reciprocity, asking to be supported in return.
