promise
Aslyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart

Cause I don't wanna be
The border to your world
The one holding you back
From all that you dreamed of
Cause I don't wanna know
When all is down the road
You wonder what went wrong
When you were younger

Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart

And don't let nothing be
Handcuffing your mind
And making you believe
Your road is dead-ending
Don't cover up your eyes
Stand up when you're pushed down
And never turn around
When words turn to mocking

Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart

I know you know yourself
Put your doubt to bed
Don't compromise the cred
For your happy ending
Cause this fight is your own
And your blue and blackened toes
Will be the evidence
Of your weighted landing

Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart
Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart




Make me a promise, baby
Run with your heart, your heart

It's funny how songs can carry some much meaning in life. this song marks my last weeks before I actually became depressed and soon after had dysthymia- which is even worse, it never goes away. When I listen to songs or smell scents that I did my freshman year of high school I remember these weird feelings of euphoria or something. No one knows what Im talking about- not even my therapists. This is one of those songs, I remember listening to it at the end of my freshman year. I get those weird feelings, like a concert going on inside of me without my doing. I don't know if others experience the same things too, and it's weird that those feelings could still be present in life. I have been told I have a flat affect- part of my schizophrenia, and others I watch on youtube- even the blind girl who doesn't know it show facial expressions. that's probably because of my dysthymia. Maybe that means that they experience those feelings that I used to have too. I don't remember those feelings before the summer right before my freshman year in high school- I remember when I listen to these songs they sang at the summer camp I went to right before my freshman year, and then I remember some of those feelings with a couple of perfumes I bought around christmas time that year and the song why can't i that was in a tv movie that year.. I remember listening to it when we went on the ski trip with our church and it was snowing, and then it was in the movie win a date with tad hamilton that we saw over christmas break. then I remember these feelings with the movie pixel perfect and the songs in it and then with this song I listened to at the very end of my freshman year- along with dreaming of you, and I don't want you back, and tomorrow my lillix and its music video. I thought about the facial expressions and remembered that people told me I have a flat affect and I noticed that others don't and I thought maybe that has to do with those emotions and feelings I used to have and maybe that means that others feel those feelings of euphoria or something too. so ya, this song carries a lot of meaning in my life and marks points in the deterioration of my mind.

I realized the other day how much my illness fucked up my life. Usually I just think of it in terms of where it took me in life- how I ended up at four treatment centers for almost three years of my life. and I've know that I've moved on from that stage in my life and can live on my own normally and function. I didn't really think of it before like how it took away my happiness and ruined my high school years. I've moved on from my bad times in high school and the teenage years are rough for a lot so it shouldn't be that important that i didn't have a normal high schooler life. But it took away feelings like this and I would have continued to feel these all through high school like I did my freshman year- and remembering it now it was so sweet. I would have continued to have a normal life feeling these things and unhindered. why is life so hard?

@brunettelinds2811

It's funny how I remember the exact moment when my life changed forever. I remember it was at lunch time in October or so of my freshman year and I was standing in the courtyard and one of my friends from middle school stopped hanging out with me, and all of sudden something in me snapped and I told myself my life was over and I had no friends but one person and the one that still hung out with abused me and chased people away from me.. so I decided to damage myself internally for no reason and so forth. I remember the exact moment in time when everything changed for good, my life and myself were never normal again. It was most profound because this difference took over every aspect of my life and I was at every moment constantly aware of it. Things got worse and worse from that moment on and took over all of myself and my life. I wondered before what that day was like before lunch time- what happened when I was still normal and why something at that very date and time changed. It's weird to think how my brain chemistry controlled my thoughts without me knowing it. How that difference in my brain showed itself in my thoughts and life- like about how I saw myself as having no friends because a couple people stopped hanging out with me and I wanted to damage myself internally for no reason. I have dysthymia which means profound hopelessness which is permanent and never goes away. That's a reason for me feeling a void, I just wonder if others feel those same feelings of euphoria that I remember or if it was just me
