Lyrics
Vertical I'm moving like there's no escape
Feeling a sense of upward motion with no escape.
But my mind is running forwards not away
Mentally moving forward rather than running away from challenges.
Every smile I missed and dwelt on it for days
Reflecting on missed smiles and dwelling on them for an extended period.
And every time I risked it all but failed
Taking risks, but experiencing failure each time.
Softly breaking down but I'm still listening
Emotionally breaking down but still attentive and receptive.
Is this the part where I would let you in
Questioning whether this is the moment to allow someone into one's life.
There's too much weight
Expressing the burden of too much weight that cannot be changed.
I cannot change
Acknowledging an inability to alter a heavy burden.
Since I have begun
Referring to a period since the speaker has started something.
You're not the only one
Conveying that the listener is not the only one going through challenges.
Snowflakes on your face
Imagery of snowflakes on someone's face, symbolizing a moment of beauty.
It's falling into place
Suggesting that things are falling into place.
But still I won't feel home
Despite things falling into place, the speaker doesn't feel at home.
It's melting in the sun
Symbolizing the melting of something significant in the sun.
My time has overrun
Expressing that the speaker's time has exceeded its limit.
And I won't wait for no one
Deciding not to wait for anyone.
Tie my tongue to you
Metaphorically tying one's tongue to someone, possibly indicating a struggle to express feelings.
I'm sleeping through my youth
Sleeping through youth, possibly missing out on experiences.
So when I don't feel young
Anticipating a lack of feeling young in the future.
I won't know who I've become
Fearing the unknown identity that comes with not feeling young.
Dropped the ball I'm twisted up in my own head
Having made a mistake and feeling mentally tangled.
But now is not the time to rearrange
Recognizing that now is not the time for a major change.
Living the same day just like I'm on repeat
Living in a repetitive cycle, akin to being on repeat.
Rewind again and relive every beat
Wanting to relive every beat of life, possibly to learn from past experiences.
There's too much weight
Reiterating the burden of too much weight that cannot be changed.
I cannot change
Re-emphasizing the inability to alter a heavy burden.
Since I have begun
Referring to a period since the speaker has started something.
You're not the only one
Reassuring that the listener is not alone in facing challenges.
Snowflakes on your face
Imagery of snowflakes on someone's face, reiterating a moment of beauty.
It's falling into place
Indicating that things are falling into place once again.
But still I won't feel home
Despite things falling into place, the speaker still doesn't feel at home.
It's melting in the sun
Symbolizing the melting of something significant in the sun.
My time has overrun
Expressing that the speaker's time has exceeded its limit once more.
And I won't wait for no one
Deciding not to wait for anyone, reiterating a sense of urgency.
Tie my tongue to you
Metaphorically tying one's tongue to someone, possibly indicating a struggle to express feelings.
I'm sleeping through my youth
Sleeping through youth, possibly missing out on experiences once again.
So when I don't feel young
Anticipating a lack of feeling young in the future.
I won't know who I've become
Fearing the unknown identity that comes with not feeling young.
