Man Overboard
Navigating Storms of Power: WhiteHeart's 'Man Overboard' Reflection
Lyrics
Man over me
Feeling overwhelmed or controlled by someone ("Man")
Man over you
Suggesting another person is also overwhelmed or controlled
Man like a fist
Describing a dominating and forceful nature
Man want to rule
Expressing a desire for power and control
The crystal ball
Reference to a mystical device foreseeing a downfall
Predicts the fall
Anticipating a negative event or decline
Man over lord
Suggesting dominance or control over a higher authority
Man overboard
Emphasizing a sense of crisis or chaos
Feels like we're drifting for some dark uncharted land
Feeling adrift in unfamiliar and ominous territory
Don't know where we're going but it's not where we have been
Uncertainty about the future, acknowledging change
Did we think that we could sail the waters of this storm
Questioning the ability to navigate through challenges
We can't control the rudders and the sail's getting torn
Lack of control over the situation, facing adversity
I'm afraid for me
Expressing personal fear or concern
I'm afraid for you
Extending concern to others
Man over me
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed or controlled
Man over you
Repeating the theme of someone else being overwhelmed
Man like a fist
Reemphasizing a forceful and dominating nature
Man want to rule
Reiterating the desire for power and control
The crystal ball
Symbolic reference to foreseeing a downfall
Predicts the fall
Reiterating anticipation of a negative event or decline
Man over lord
Restating dominance or control over a higher authority
Man overboard
Reiterating a sense of crisis or chaos
Everywhere I turn I feel the pounding of the sea
Sensing imminent danger or difficulty from all directions
To think that we are drowning in our own hypocrisy
Recognizing a self-destructive pattern or hypocrisy
Devoured by the mouths of all the things that we create
Being consumed by the negative consequences of one's creations
We thought we were creators, now we're eaten by our fate
Realizing the unintended consequences of creative actions
I'm afraid for me
Reiterating personal fear or concern
I'm afraid for you
Reiterating concern for others
Man over me
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed or controlled for the speaker
Man over you
Repeating the theme of someone else being overwhelmed
Man like a fist
Reemphasizing a forceful and dominating nature
Man want to rule
Reiterating the desire for power and control
The crystal ball
Symbolic reference to foreseeing a downfall
Predicts the fall
Reiterating anticipation of a negative event or decline
Man over lord
Restating dominance or control over a higher authority
Man overboard
Reiterating a sense of crisis or chaos
