Empathy
A Sound Mind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you breath enough air into it you will see it floating
As life skips jumps rewind
You can bring change with faith in yourself once again
Don't let yourself destroy yourself, don't let yourself destroy self
When you feel like the whole feels
& your on your own and your all alone
& your on your own and your all alone
Hold you head above the water
Until the water dries
Life or death situation,
You aint good to no-one unless your alive and breathing yourself
Your only an aid to someone if you yourself are fine
So hold your own head above the water
Hold your own head above the water
Above the water, above the water
Don't let yourself destroy yourself
Don't let yourself destroy yourself
Don't let yourself destroy yourself
Don't let yourself destroy yourself
When you feel like the whole feels
When you feel like the whole world feels
& your on your own and your all alone
& your on your own and your all alone
Hold you head above the water
Above the water
Yeah Until, yeah until,
The water dries
We will self empathise
Ah ahh……………

The lyrics of A Sound Mind's song Empathy speak to the importance of self-care and emotional resilience. The song starts by acknowledging that there is more to a person than what is seen on the surface. There is a deeper, emotional layer that can be difficult to access without intention and effort. However, when one takes the time to look beyond the surface level, they can see the beauty that lies within. As life has its ups and downs, one can feel like they are on their own and need to hold their head above water until the storm passes. The lyrics advocate for self-care and self-compassion even during difficult times. The song reminds us the need to take care of ourselves is not a selfish act. In fact, it is necessary to be able to support others effectively. Empathy is an important emotion and skill and starts with being empathetic to oneself.
The chorus of the song reinforces the importance of taking care of oneself. It repeats the line "hold your head above the water" as a reminder to keep going, even when it feels hard. The song concludes with the phrase "We will self-empathize," which speaks to the importance of recognizing our emotions, acknowledging our struggles, and treating ourselves with compassion.
Overall, the lyrics of Empathy serve as a reminder for the importance of emotional resilience, self-care, and self-compassion. To be able to support others effectively, one must first take care of their own emotional needs.

I've been almost exclusively using local music for my videos, to try and help advertise the bands (and to have music on my clips). I wanted to use this clip, but it's (although this'll sound kinda fruity) too beautiful; none of my clips would do it justice.

What's all this about Chelsea? I don't quit get the connection to the song?

@MRE Creations There was a memorable video about Chelsea's campaign to win the 2012 Champions League, and on the final game they played this song. So it's a really special song for us who have saw the video.
